Review of Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream
By Sue B.


Packaging: Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream comes in a frosted blue glass jar with a silver coloured metal lid, the capacity is 30 ml. The label is black with white text so has a good contrast making it easy to read.
Application: The white cream has a smooth light texture that is absorbed quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for repeated application during the day. I don’t currently have sore or chapped hands yet feel that this cream might be too light to soothe them if I did. I think it is perfect for keeping hands moist and supple therefore useful as a preventative.

Ingredients: There was no list of ingredients on the sample pot that I received but, being familiar with Trevarno skincare products and knowing that they only use natural or organic ingredients, I was happy to use Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream before heading to the Internet for a full list. This list also includes: Lavender Flower Water, Olive Oil infused with Comfrey, Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, and essential oils of Geranium, Grapefruit & Juniper. The combination of these ingredients gives it a clean, fresh smell.

Results: Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream left my hands feeling soft and nourished as well as smelling fresh and clean.

Pros:
Only natural and organic ingredients are used.
The 30ml jar is small enough to fit in your handbag however; Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream is also available in 60ml jar making it a more economical purchase.
Trevarno facial and body products are produced in Cornwall – which is good for buying British.

Cons:
I feel a richer texture would be required if hands were already sore and chapped.
There is a shelf life of only four months after opening.
