Review of Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Anti-ageing Hand & Nail Cream By Sue B.
Packaging: Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Anti-ageing Hand & Nail Cream comes in a compact, 50 ml, handbag size plastic tube. The black text on a white background makes it easy to read. The back of the tube has symbols and text that clearly state that there are no chemical nasties, it is cruelty free and suitable for vegans so, at a glance, important information is boldly available. Should you want to find out more about this and/or other Barefoot Botanicals products the website, mailing address and telephone number are all present.
Application: The rich, yet not too thick, cream is absorbed quickly but does leave a slightly greasy film which I’ve also found with other hand creams from this range. It isn’t something that I like the feel of, so I generally apply my hand cream at night, then put on a pair of cotton gloves to help the cream get absorbed with the heat of my hands. I found the fresh aroma calming and relaxing, especially when applied at night. Then, on waking, your hands are luxuriously soft and moisturised ready for the day ahead. If your hands are beginning to show signs of aging, give this a try.
Ingredients: Not all the ingredients are listed on the tube, so I went to the website to find out more. The Rosa mosqueta oil is pressed from the seeds of a wild Chilean rose and is reputed to dramatically reduce wrinkles, stretch marks and scar tissue. Persian rose, frankincense and sandalwood are some of the ingredients that give Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Anti-ageing Hand & Nail Cream a fresh almost clinical smell. With ingredients to help prevent age spots and soften rough cuticles, this sounds like a product for total care of your hands.
Although not organic, the ingredients are 100% ethically-sourced.
Pros:
Lots of information on the tube with easy to read text.
100% natural products.
Softens and strengthens the cuticles, nourishes, hydrates, smoothes and soothes the skin.
In my opinion, this is a great winter hand cream, certainly up to the job.
Cons:
Slightly greasy after application.
No indication on the tube of its use by life.
At £17.95 for 50ml it’s not the cheapest hand cream on the market but, in my opinion, it’s worth paying more for a product that totally cares for your hands, especially in the winter months.
