Almond Oil Intensive Hand Rescue

Best if you want to: Give your hard-working hands some TLC with an intense moisturizing cream that softens over-exposed skin overnight.

Best for: all skin types, particularly skin overexposed to the elements

How it works:

Sweet almond oil and Community Trade organic soy oil provide essential fatty acids that help repair skin’s moisture barrier, restoring moisture, smoothness and suppleness.
Community Trade shea butter moisturizes and softens, and has a high level of antioxidant vitamins A, E and F to protect and nourish skin.
Lanolin, one of nature’s richest moisturizers, is readily absorbed by the skin, providing good protection for rough, dry hands.

The Body Shop® difference: Hands do a lot for us everyday, but they are often one of the most neglected body parts. That’s why our Almond Oil Hand & Nail care range is packed with sweet almond oil to drench hands in moisture and prevent nails from splitting and breaking. Plus almond oil is rich in oleic acid, a fatty acid commonly found in the skin’s fabric. It’s easily absorbed, as skin’s already in tune with it, and helps hands replenish the softness nature provided them with before washing your hands was invented!

Community Trade Information

Through our trade, the Capanema farmers receive a fair and regular income for their soya beans, which means they are also able to preserve their traditional way of living. In Brazil, where so much Genetically Modified soya is produced for world markets, Community Trade initiatives are essential for supporting organic farmers.
