5 out of 5 starsI loved my order from Happy Hands!! The sampler pack is the perfect size mini creams for my gift bags! I tried the almond. It smells amazing and my hands are so smooth and not oily at all. Will definitely purchase again.

5 out of 5 starsThe formula is fantastic - soaks in well and makes my hands soft without feeling greasy. The scents are incredibly diverse. I bought a sampler to figure out which is my favorite (desert honey so far - light, clean smelling, and faintly fruity), but the packets are nice to tuck in my pocket for work and travel. I work as a nurse, so my hands are constantly being washed and sanitized leaving them rough and raw. I've tried out many hand creams looking for one that will soak in adequately and smells fresh and light. I think this one will be my new staple.

5 out of 5 starsTried some of this that my friend had and I loved it! There's no oily feeling that most hand lotions give you. The seller is easy to communicate with and shipping was prompt!

5 out of 5 starsMoisturizing and never greasy. It is truly unscented, so no need to worry about fragrance clashing or cloying.

5 out of 5 starsThis scent was for my mom. She loves French Lilac but wanted to try something new. You think you know what this smells like because you know what Lavender smells like and you know what sage smells like, but it’s so much better than you imagine just the combo to be. Of course they’re two gray scents that smell great together, but I suspect Margaret’s unparalleled scent-matching talent has something to do with it. It’s subtle and old-fashioned without being out of date. Smooth but complex, with a powdery warm finish. Love it. So damned good. As always Margaret is a paragon among merchants and we love her, and our skin lives for this lotion. Sinks in fast, hard to wear or wash away but doesn’t get slimy when you inevitably have to wash your hands right after application.

How "Happy Hands" Happened
I originally formulated Happy Hands for myself, after I tried -- and failed -- to find a commercial product that worked for me.
Up here in the high mountain desert of New Mexico, dry hands are a year-round problem.
I needed a creamy lotion that would deeply moisturize & soften my hands, but absorb quickly and NOT leave a greasy residue on my hands that would transfer to my knitting.
And of course, it had to smell wonderful!
It took me a year to work out this formula: a lotion that is so very thick and creamy so you only need a small dollop, quickly absorbed, nourishing and moisturizing with NO greasy residue; and glossy pure white, because I don't want to add any artificial colors to my products.
Because my cream base absorbs quickly into your skin, you can enjoy the long-lasting fragrance, but the scent will NOT transfer to your fiber or craft handiwork.
Why "Happy Hands" Work So Well
♥ Shea butter is made from the nut of the African karité tree, called "women's gold" because of the vital income its harvest provides the women of Africa. Shea butter is an excellent natural moisturizer and therapeutic emollient, with Vitamins A & E helping to heal dry, cracked and damaged skin.
♥ Sunflower oil is pressed from black sunflower seeds, a natural emollient also high in Vitamin E that helps retain moisture in the skin.
♥ The juice of the succulent Aloe Vera plant has been used for centuries to rejuvenate, heal & soothe skin.
♥ My Happy Hands formula contains NO parabens, NO mineral oil, and NO coloring agents of any kind.
♥ I use only natural essential oils and pure cosmetic-grade fragrance oils (all phthalate-free) to create my scents.
♥ I bottle my hand cream in crystal-clear, BPA-free bottles.
