Soap & Glory Hand Food - Hydrating Hand Cream Review

This Soap & Glory Hand Food is a deliciously scented, hydrating hand cream. I love how it nourishes the skin, without feeling greasy and is highly concentrated so the tube lasts for ages. I also gifted a mini version of this to someone undergoing Chemo, and they loved it as well!

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.

I'm always on the look-out for a good hand cream as I get dry hands - particularly around the finger joints - due the colder winter weather and from frequent hand-washing during the day. I first tried Hand Food after receiving it in a Soap & Glory Advent Calendar a few years ago. With the Soap & Glory signature 'Original Pink' scent, this hand cream smells divine! The scent is fresh and floral, and lingers for a while after application which I love. The cream absorbs quickly, is hydrating and non-greasy, just like the tube claims. I definitely notice the difference in the softness of my hands after applying. The only downside is that the cream is quite light - this is perfect for summer, but I would prefer a slightly heavier cream for winter. I find that I need to use a little more cream in winter to really feel the effects,so I usually apply a little extra each time to the driest parts of my hands to really feel the benefit. This is a very good hand cream, and at a great price too.

I was given the smaller one as part of a gift which was great. I love the cute packaging. It is reasonably hydrating etc but wouldn't call it holy Grail status. My only issue would be the smell ... I really didn't like it. Overall a nice hand cream with lovely packaging and great for gifts

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.

Use to carry this around in my purse as I always have dry skin especially on the hands! Smells great, the texture is thick too which I love :)
