Soap & Glory Hand Food - Hydrating Hand Cream Review

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.

I literally use this all the time and have three tubes, all in different handbags so I’m never without this amazing hand cream. I love the rose and bergamot scent, it’s so luxurious and makes you feel special. It’s also got the best formula that does wonders for your hands.

I am a big fan of Soap & Glory’s affordable products and super-cute retro packaging. So when I received this hand cream in a Soap & Glory Christmas pack, I was really excited to try it.

This review is of the 50ml travel-size in Original Pink, which is rose and bergamot scented. The bottle is bright pink, and rests on its cap. The text on the bottle is in silver, white and black. The hand cream claims to be “non-greasy” and “hydrating”. The cream itself is white. Although the rose scent is quite strong, it is not unpleasant. The cream is reasonably easy to squeeze out of the tube. It absorbs into the skin quickly, and is true to its word of being “non-greasy”. This cream also feels very rich and is great for dry hands. I love to put this on just before bed so it soaks in overnight.

Altogether this is a very luxurious feeling, yet affordable cream

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.

First things first, I just love the smell of this! It's sweet but not cloying, and it lasts well on the skin. Nice and moisturizing without being too thick or greasy. It sinks in easily and doesn't leave a residue.

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!

This is a super sweet smelling hand cream. It provides a good amount of moisture and while this isn't the best that I have used I would use it again. It comes in two sizes and scents which are both sweet and fun. I bought both scents in the small size which is perfect to chuck in your handbag.

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.

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.
