5 out of 5 starsAs usual, Maggie got my orders shipped in record time.
#1-"HAPPY HANDS" I've been using it for years.
Scented hand cream in little foil packets. It's like silk on rough or tired hands. I keep some in a purse or pocket to use as needed.
#2- It's a birthday gift for my grandkids from Maggie's new Shop: "DIY Microgreens". Such a clever idea. The kids will love making their own tiny indoor gardens.
Thanks Maggie! From Dee and Tom -

5 out of 5 starsBought as a gift for my daughter, who's a crafter & works at a craft store. I explained that these were specially formulated to leave no residue, and she was delighted to try them out and confirmed this! She's looking forward to using them this winter to combat chapped hands as it gets cold and dry.

5 out of 5 starsI knit and crochet everyday. Add constantly washing my hands which can lead to potential dry skin. My hands are free of dry, cracked skin thanks to Happy Hands keeping them in good shape. And the lotion smells amazing! Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsI always trust Maggie to provide 5 ***** Service and Products. Shipping is fast and never a problem.
My favorite is the sample packets of her Happy Hands Cream. I use them for handouts as a little "surprise" or "thank you". People love them.
In addition to her original HAPPY HANDS, she has created some new treasures. She gave them the same "Maggie" touch.
Happy customer! Dee -

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.
