Soap & Glory Hand Food - Hydrating Hand Cream Review

A pink squeezable tube with a flip top lid Original Pink rose and bergamot that’s the fragrance to me more like a bit of bitter rose and vanilla Pleasant enough. The hand cream is mid consistently, white in colour, not waxy or greasy. It quickly absorbs into my skin within a couple of minutes so no worry about touching anything after applying and leaving a greasy mark. It’s called hand food and yes I guess it is, it does leave my hands moisturised and soft but I have noticed the more I use it the better condition my skin has become. It’s a reasonable price for a large tube (125mil) I have hard working hands and this cream ticks all the boxes, it relives dry tight and is slowly improving the condition of my skin makes them feel soft. I’ll easily repurchase this.

I always have one of these hand creams on the go. I have a habit of applying hand cream when I’m sat at traffic lights in the morning. My car hand cream therefore needs to meet the following criteria: easy to apply (flip top lid) and fast absorbing. This one fits the bill and also does its actual job, leaving me with soft, well moisturised hands. I prefer the ‘sugar crush’ scent as the ‘original pink’ can be a bit heady when used in a small enclosed space like a car. This is also an absolute bargain at only $5 for the handbag size. I love having a variety of hand creams scattered around the place but this will always be one of them.

This is the best hand cream I have ever used. I get dry flakey skin on my hands in the winter due to the weather and I have to use hand sanitiser often at my work. This hand cream is not greasy, it absorbs quickly, and smells great, on top of actually making my hands feel human instead of lizardy. I love it.

Oh Soap and Glory... you’ve done it again! I’ll have to thank trudijoy for introducing me to her holy grail hand cream.

When my hand cream finally arrived, i flicked opened the cap just so i could just take a light sniff of it, and oh my... i couldn’t take my nose off it. I should really finish the older hand creams first, but the sweetness of this hand cream was just mmm... i just couldn’t resist. Ok it’s going in my hand bag.

The hand cream was nice and thick, and was absorbed quite quickly by my hands.. so it didn’t feel overly greasy at all... but soft and smooth. Surprisingly, the perfume in this handcream did not dry the back of my hands, as my hands are quite prone to drying compared to my face.

The smell is not overpowering, so makes a wonderful at-work hand cream for those who need something that smells good, but absorbs quickly at the same time. And with this yummy, light perfumery scent, there is no need to use perfume. It’s a bonus.

I got the 50 ml for $5 just to try it out first, as i never tend to finish a tube of hand cream without getting another. However, i have a feeling, i can easily finish this one. It’s totally affordable and totally worth the price. It’s a light scent and a hand moisturiser all in one. Its a perfect size to keep in your handbag for on the go.

For those who don’t have too oily (as it’s quite hydrating) or perfume-sensitive hands, it’s worth a try. It’s definitely one i would love to share with my dear friends.

The reason why i didn’t give it a full 5/5 is that i still prefer natural ingredients in a hand crean. If this hand cream smelled just as amazing, but not because of the added perfume, i would definitely have given it a special 5/5.

This has to be the best hand cream I have ever used! It comes in a cute 50ml squeezy tube with a flip top lid with the attractive retro pink packaging that Soap & Glory are known for.

I work with water so my hands get a thrashing. My fingers start to peel and they look awful. This is where hand food saves me! I use it every morning and night and I no longer have dry, peeling fingers. It is a lovely thick cream which absorbs so well and leaves my hands so soft and smooth.

It has a beautiful delicate scent. Sweet and floral. A little bit definitely goes a long way. I am very impressed with hand food. It is so affordable and works like a charm. Will be buying more.

I love this stuff it smells so good! The scent isn't overpowering which I love because most hand creams are. It soaks into the skin fast and isn't greasy. I can apply it and use my phone straight after and it doesn't mess up my phone screen. I love the packaging and smell so much I think this is the best hand cream ever!! It's also so so so cheap too for the quality that you're getting!

Soap and Glory are the absolute masters of body products. They've nailed the most amazing formulas, cutest packaging and done it all for a miniscule pricetag that gets me Mecca Beauty Loop points. I've been sold on these for ages and now I can get them in NZ I'm so so happy.

But I digress......

The Hand Food actually comes in a wee half price, half sized handbag option as well - $4 ish for 50 mls. I'd recommend getting the smaller size to carry around.

Packaging is the typical S&G dusky pink with graphic labelling that is sturdy enough not to leak when thrown into bags and carted around on planes (trust me on that one!)

The cream is very thick - borderline body butter consistency - and white, with a delicate scent that is apparently rose and bergamot. Other key ingredients are shea butter, macadamia oil and (interestingly) marshmallow.

It absorbs pretty quickly - not super fast but it *is* really thick, and the residue isn't at all greasy. Hands are left with a soft scent, and lusciously hydrated.

It's so cheap you could apply it a dozen times a day if you needed to, but you really won't, it gets the job done.

Cheap luxury that earns me rewards? I'm so IN....

I have 2 of these one lives at my house and one lives in my handbag. I love this so much, the lotion is the perfect thickness, and has a delicate but lovely scent. It leaves hands soft and cared for without being overly greasy, and helps massively to reduce dryness. Honestly the cutest pink packaging you'll ever see.

Argh words can't express my love for Soap & Glory, it's almost up there with Lush. Their Hand Food is such a fab product and super affordable, even though it's probably one of the best hand creams I've ever tried. The lotion is the perfect thickness, and has a delicate but lovely scent. It leaves hands soft and cared for without being overly greasy, and helps massively to reduce dryness. It's from a great brand that doesn't test on animals, and comes in the cutest pink packaging you'll ever see. Honestly, what's not to love?
