I recently tried an old favourite hand cream of mine.  I hadn’t used the J.R. Watkins Shea Butter Hand Cream in years, but I used to love this stuff!  I always loved the lemon scent!  Last month, when I put in an order to pick up some natural/organic products, I decided to give this hand cream a try again.  I’m not really sure why I stopped buying it; I think I just moved on to other things!  Anyway, I wasn’t disappointed after trying it again.  So I thought I’d share my thoughts and some information on this hand cream with you.

The J.R. Watkins Shea Butter Hand Cream in the scent Lemon Cream is a super moisturizing, thick cream.  It sinks in to skin relatively quickly and is 99% natural.  It’s paraben-free, phthalate-free, propylene glycol-free, dye-free, and cruelty-free.  It smells so good; it smells just like lemon pie!  This hand cream comes in a squeeze container and is approximately $9.99 CAD for 95 g of product, depending on where you buy it.

J.R. Watkins has been around since 1868 and most of its products contain natural ingredients, which I love!  J.R. Watkins is also cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified!
