I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- The cream leaves a bit silicony feeling, it can't be seen but you can feel it
- Feels like the cream disappears after you put it on: not in a way that it absorbs and moisturizes the skin, it just disappears and soon it feels like you have dry hands again
- The fragrance lingers a lot, unreasonably sweet and strong for a cream like this, I feel like I can't put it on in a bus or a train, in case someone has asthma or something
- EDIT: After writing this review my thumb started to itch very badly and it continued hours, I don't know if Shea Hand Cream is to blame, but I did slather it on my hands very liberally
+ Moisturizes a bit, gives a moment of relief at least
+ Doesn't leave the skin sticky
+ Tube's design is good, easy to get the product out in exact amounts
+ Size is good to carry in a bag (but can you add it on your hands in public anyway?)

* So, this hand cream was a bit of an disappointment. I did try it in the store and there it felt just fine? I think it's so easy to be tricked to buy something when you test things quickly in a busy environment with lots of different smells, not to mention the sales lady hovering over your shoulder
* I'm still not turning against all the Body Shop's hand creams as I haven't tried and compared them
* I'm just puzzled how shea hand cream can be made this bad because shea butter is so wonderful on its own!
Price:
6.70 €, I think on sale 5 € / 30 ml

No! Overpriced and bad hand cream in general.
