After using the Palmer's Cocoa Butter Body Lotion (strongly recommended), I decided I had fallen in love with the brand and just had to try out the other products they offer. So after a bit of research I found out that they had a hand cream available, and I went and bought it. The hand cream says "fragrance free" on the tube, which to me was a bit of a disappointment as I like the cocoa butter scent so much. However, I wouldn't say the cream doesn't smell of anything - and that's the problem. It does have a very peculiar smell, slighty sour, which reminded me mostly of bad vinegar. Unfortunately, it is also a fairly strong smell, which I could keep ...  Read the complete review

- What is it? - * Fragrance-free * Therapeutic moisturising treatment * Enriched with vitamin E * Absorbs quickly * SPF 8 * Perfect for conditioning cuticles * Helps prevent and temporarily protect chaffed, chapped, cracked or wind burned skin and lips - Smell & Appearance - The smell of this hand cream is pleasant and reminds me of some sun cream creams that I've used in the past.

This hand cream ...  Read the complete review

I bought this product recently as I was in need of a new hand cream. I have used the Palmer's Cocoa Butter body lotion in the past and although it is quite thick I have been happy with the results. The hand cream was around £2-3 in Tesco's, so I decided to give it a whirl! The first thing I noticed when using this was the extreme heavy scent, it appears to be very concentrated and I find a bit too overpowering for a handcream.

Despite the smell I hoped for the best, but after about five minutes of rubbing this in I found there was still a slight ...  Read the complete review
