Key Ingredients
ORGANIC UNREFINED SHEA BUTTER Extracted from the nut of the Butyrospermum parkii tree of Ghana, this raw and unprocessed ingredient helps to deeply hydrate dry skin. Remaining solid at room temperature, it quickly melts and absorbs on contact with the skin, acting as a long lasting moisturizer while gently relieving inflammation from dry skin.	ORGANIC COCONUT OIL Renowned as one of the best natural moisturizers out there, studies have shown coconut oil works to repair the skin’s moisture barrier, while helping to retain water within. Unique among vegetable based oils, virgin coconut oil contains a high amount of medium chain fatty acids, which break down on contact with the skin, allowing for deeper moisture penetration.

5 reviews for Ruby Grapefruit Shea Hand Cream

Martina Siegel – May 10, 2016

I have been using this hand cream throughout the winter months when my skin is particularly dry and found it to be very effective. I have tried numerous brands but nothing has been quite as good as this hand cream. It has a great consistency and smell as well and easily absorbs. I highly recommend it.

LOVE this product! It works well on my over-sanitized, dry hands. The smell is great but not too strong, so I can get away with wearing it at work where perfume products aren’t allowed.

Decent moisturizing cream. Absorbs quickly without leaving an oily residue. Not a huge fan of the container, would prefer smaller purse size.

Beautiful rich emollient texture, with a lovely scent!
Used it on my hands and feet.

Great product. I have sensitive skin so some creams bother me but this one leaves my hands soft and free of irration. And the best part is, you don’t need a lot so it lasts quite long.
