Burts Bees Farmers Friend Hand Salve, 3-Ounce Tin (Pack of 3)

It is a wonderful item and really helps my hands. However, some people are offended by the smell.

Its been a brutal winter in New England this year and I have been using Vaseline Intensive Care for dry skin but a friend recommended Burts Bees Hand Salve and I got some other recommendations and ordered a couple of products to try out. I tried the Burts Bees Hand Salve this morning and was impressed. The container and application remind me of shoe polish and it goes on waxy and a bit slippery. It has a very mild odor and makes your hands feel warm. This last part is really great as I have circulation issues and my fingers can go numb when its cold. The ingredient that does this appears to be eucalyptus oil.

It works, smells medicinal/herbal, very greasy. Im not expecting no grease feeling, but this is like playing with vegetable oil.

Great for a person who does bodywork and does not want slippery lotion or oil. Good for Rolfing or structural integration type work where you want some give but not too slippery like massage oil or lotion. Also great for your hands!

Excelente producto me encanta llevo años usándola y siempre sigue siendo muy buen producto.

After five years of searching for a non-steroid product for my eczema, I finally found the product that would moisturize as well as HEAL cracks, broken skin, and redness. It takes away itching and promotes growth of new healthy skin. First, here is a list of what Ive tried: Aveeno Eczema Therapy, California Baby Eczema Cream, SkinFix - absorbed quickly, no lasting moisture Coconut oil, Essential oils (rose hip oil, tamanu oil, lavender, palmarosa) - greasy, not moisturizing, did not promote healing CeraVe - absorbs well, moisturizes, burns on broken skin, did not promote healing SebaMed, Eucerin Eczema Relief, Dermasil - absorbs well, moisturizes, did not promote healing Aquaphor, Vaseline - extremely greasy, moisturizes, prevents cracks, somewhat helpful for healing Shea Moisture - greasy but moisturizes, did not promote healing, overwhelming strong scent Burts Bees Hand Salve - greasy but eventually absorbs into skin, moisturizes, healing Elidel - prescription non-steroid cream that promotes healing, works great The texture of Burts Bees Hand Salve feels like lip balm, the kind you have to use your finger to apply. You have to rub the product several times to get it to melt onto your finger. Then massage it into your skin. It does take some patience. I have eczema on my hands and legs, so it always takes awhile to apply, maybe 20 minutes. I like to do it while Im watching TV. It feels greasy for the first while and takes a couple of hours to fully absorb. But once it absorbs, the greasiness is gone. I apply the product three to four times a day. Whenever I dont feel the product on anymore, I reapply. Itching goes away within minutes. It helps reduce redness, cracking, and heals broken skin. Rough patches take a bit longer to disappear. The scent is a herbal, minty eucalyptus. I actually like the natural, minty scent, and so does my daughter. After about half an hour, the strong minty smell goes away, and you are left with a very subtle beeswax scent. You may not even notice it. I have eaten with my hands after having applied the product on them and did not taste it at all (which was my problem with Shea Moisture). Overall, an amazing product. It takes awhile to apply but is well worth it for eczema sufferers.

We have been using this product for years. Great for winter hands.

I do find this thick so I use it at night with my moisturizing gloves. Works better than anything else and NATURAL. I like that.

All terrific! Fast & as advertised.

I have used the product for about 15 years, all to my advantage! Unfortunately, this shipment was lost by the post office.
