*The ingredients above can be found in all Naturally European hand creams, except Baobab oil which is not in Freesia & Pear or Plum Violet fragrances.

Shea butter

You’ll know the rich texture if you’ve ever tried our Naturally European hand creams, so only a pea-sized amount is required. This is partly because they contain 20% Shea Butter, nourishing and protecting skin tissue from the elements. It can help reduce the appearance of ageing, which we know can be difficult on hard-working skin.

(Avocado) Oil

Native to Central America, avocado oil is pressed from the fleshy fruit of the avocado tree after removing the peel and the stone. So, these superfoods are good to eat and fantastic for your skin!

Avocado oil is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, helping your skin stay smooth, strong, and elastic. It also can be used to relieve itchy skin, heal chapped hands, hydrate dry skin and moisturise your skin.

Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil

Coconut oil is made with the white flesh of the coconut. Blended and heated, the oil can then be easily extracted. Again, this ingredient is not only great to cook with; It can help retain moisture, reduce inflammation, improve elasticity and even help various skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis.

Rosa Canina (Rosehip) Fruit Oil

Rosehip oil is derived from the seeds of the Dog Rose, mainly from Chile and is known for many beneficial properties, including hydration, moisturising, promoting skin regeneration ⁠and reducing imperfections⁠. You’ll find rose-based ingredients in many premium skincare ranges due to its plethora of benefits.

Adansonia Digitata (Baobab) Seed Oil*

Originating from Africa, the Baobab tree is also known as the upside-down tree. Steeped in legend, the fruit from these ancient trees has been the source of vitamins and minerals for thousands of years. Baobab oil is a rich source of omega fatty acids that fight inflammation, making it an excellent choice for sensitive skin, and its anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe irritation.

Hand Cream Formulation

Each fragrance of Naturally European hand cream has a unique formulation, including various essential oils and natural extracts to enhance the individual scent. Highly skilled chemists formulate our products by blending safe synthetics and natural ingredients, ensuring our products perform above expectation.

Rest assured, all of our products are laboratory tested during the development process and then again by the in-house team once complete to ensure we’re all delighted with them. One thing to note about our hand cream is the thick consistency; it’s such a rich cream which lasts for weeks and even months when used sparingly.

As we said, we’ve been making these products for many years now, and once our customers try them, they never look back. One of our bestselling products, it’s packaged in a recyclable aluminium tube with a card box, so they also make a lovely gesture as a gift. Certified by The Vegan Society (excluding milk cotton as it contains milk proteins), it’s cruelty-free and free from animal-derived ingredients.

There’s nothing more we can say about our hand cream; however, if you need a little more persuading, please head over to the products on our website and read our 5-star customer reviews – adored by the hardest working hands, such as nurses and florists to name a few. We love getting feedback, so once you try them, please let us know what you think of our luxury hand care.
