The Body Shop Wild Rose Hand Cream

Project Pan Item #7: The Body Shop's Wild Rose Hand Cream. When it comes to fashion, accessories, or decoration, I am obsessed with three things: roses, bows, and birds. It will thus come as no surprise that I gravitate toward rose-scented items. The scent of this hand cream in particular is quite sweet, sort of perfumey and artificial-smelling. Even so, it is light, nothing obnoxious or overwhelming. My friend, who finds rose scents to be grandmotherly, complimented the smell of this one, so that has to be a reassuring sign.

The 30 mL tube is a nice size for the portability. The cream is a very subtle light pink that is not greasy, which is an absolute must for me as I despise oily lotions. Unfortunately, this means that it can only provide light to moderate moisture. If you're looking for a rich moisturizer, then this will not be it.

This retails for $10 for the 1 oz (30 mL), or $18.50 for the 3.3 oz (~100 mL). I feel ambivalent toward this product, and I don't think I would repurchase it. Since it is just an okay hand cream, I feel that you might as well go for a cheaper version from the drugstore.
