Luxury Hand Cream by Mitchell and Peach – English Growers

Posted by dulwichmum on Sat 19 February 2011

Name of product: Luxury Hand Cream by Mitchell and Peach – English Growers

Price: £17 for 60 mls

The blurb: “An entirely natural formulation with an uplifting, sensuous character and a satisfying complexity, roses mingle with pure English lavender to conjure the tranquility of a summer’s evening in the countryside

This easily absorbed hand cream, fragranced with essential oils from the Mitchells’ fifth-generation farm in Kent, England, contains vitamin E, shea butter and English honey to nourish, soften and protect the skin”

The range is paraben free and has not been tested on animals

First impressions: I loved the unusual fragrance – and it was very quickly absorbed into my hands. The packaging suits the product – simple but luxurious. The 60ml tube is an ideal handbag size – which ensures it is an instant hit with me!

Ease of Use: A small amount is all that is required, and the product is quickly absorbed, leaving a lovely nourished sheen on the hands. Not as oily as some hand creams which is good, as some hand creams can make it difficult to write or use a touch screen phone

Pros: This hand cream really does work! It absorbs completely within seconds, leaves no residue and hands feeling silky and soft. The fragrance is subtle, very ‘country meadow’ smelling, really nice and not overpowering at all. The scent tends to linger long after the cream has been absorbed. Having used this hand cream regularly for a week, I noticed a marked improvement in the condition of my hands, nails and cuticles

Cons: This is not cheap – but a price one would expect for a luxury item

Value for money:. I would definitely buy this, apart from the lovely smell and texture, the fact that it absorbs so quickly is a real advantage for me. Also it works – hurrah!

Dulwichmum verdict:
