If you have not yet been exposed to Australian organic skincare brand Grown – please head right over and check out their website. The philosophy of the brand is that “beautiful healthy looking skin comes from a profound understanding of nature’s power”. Sound like your cup of tea? Yeah, me too.
What is great about this product…
Well, let’s begin with the ingredients. The Vanilla & Orange Peel Hand Cream contains goodies such as antioxidants from grape seed, wheatgerm, camellia seed oil and rose hip oil. If you’re not already aware, I am in LOVE with rose hip oil. (see here, and here) It’s an amazing product, and to find a natural hand cream that uses it as an active ingredient makes me extremely happy! This is a natural hand cream, so it contains none of the bad stuff like lauryl sulphate, petrochemicals, artificial fragrance, animal dervatives and parabens. Grown is a company dedicated to the love of nature, so the packaging is recyclable. (bonus points!) So all of this sounds like the makings of a really great product, but does it work? Joy of joys – yes, it does. The Grown Vanilla & Orange Peel Hand cream is a rich and heavily moisturising cream that sinks in easily to skin and does not leave any oily residue. I have found this really great to use when I’m at work because I can apply it and then get right back onto the keyboard without having to worry about leaving any greasy marks, or my fingers slipping off of the keys. The smell is very pleasant too, strong but not overwhelming – a sweet orange smell, but not too citrusy. I love this product so much that it has earned itself a place in my beauty cupboard, and is now one of my HG hand creams. Exciting!
What is not so great about this product…
The only thing I didn’t like about this product, (and it’s a completely personal thing to me) is that the smell of the cream tends to linger. It is a delicious smell, but it lasts quite a long time, so if you’re sensitive to scented products like I am this could bug you after a while.
The Vanilla & Orange Peel Hand Cream 65ml retails for $24.00 AUD. Grown products are available for Australian purchase from David Jones, Myer and other selected outlets. Check the website for a stockist near you.
