I recently bought a kit containing lots of travel size Burt's Bees products, as it was a brand I had wanted to try for ages, and I thought it would be a good way to get a feel of the range. One of the products in the kit, was their Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Crème. This product comes in a round glass jar with a cream/off-white screw top lid which (bizarrely) features a picture of a cow! I guess it's something to do with the fact it contains milk or a milk enzyme to be exact (Lactoperoxidase). The little pot is very rustic looking and quite cute, despite being fairly plain. One thing I like about Burt's Bees products, is that they are made with mostly ...  Read the complete review

A little bit about the product Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Crème is a super emollient for keeping hands smooth, soft and protected from the elements. Hands which are exposed to heat, sun, cold, dirt and things like cleaning products, washing up liquid, etc are one of the first parts of the body to show aging. Moisture loss is also a big contributor to the aging of the skin, and you nourish your face daily - so you should extend that to your hands. Its not just about treatment either, prevention is better than cure as the old saying goes. The crème is available online from the Burt's Bees store, from Boots and other online stores. The product is almost 100% ...  Read the complete review

Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Crème: This is yet another of my mini Burt's Bees products that I got in a gift pack a while a go. This one has my favourite smell but I'll tell you more about that later. As some of you will know I love Burt's Bees and I could simply rave about them for ages; I will however show some restraint and simply tell you how they use fabulous natural ingredients like honey and beeswax and they care about the environment too. Check out their website at www.burtsbees.com; it is very cool and a very interesting site to read. Now some of you don't like the smell of almonds; if this is you step away from the hand ...  Read the complete review

I always like to keep some hand cream in my bag, especially in the colder months as my hand feel very dry after doing things such as washing up, or washing my hands too often at work. The Burts Bees Almond milk beeswax hand cream has been a fixture in my bag for a while now, and, although it wouldn't be my hand cream of choice due to the flavour of almonds, it has served a good purpose for my hands. The hand cream comes in a glass pot with a screw lid. It's packaged well and classically done. It's not the most practical to carry around in your bag, but I have a trial size as well so this one is perfect. It's designed simply with minimum ...  Read the complete review

I really have mixed feelings about this product. I like to try things from the Burt's Bees brand due to the natural ingredients and because I love their lip balm tubes, however I have been finding their products are very hit and miss. I use a lot of hand cream and I like to quickly put some on after I wash my hands or whenever I feel like it throughout the day. This means I usually prefer my handcream to be quickly absorbed so I can get on with what I am doing without being hindered by greasy, sticky hands. The Burt's Bees almond milk hand cream does not fit that description at all! However, I have to admit it does work very well at moisturising. ...  Read the complete review
