Review and #Giveaway: Tropical Traditions Organic Moisturizing Cream

I know I have mentioned many times before that my hands take a beating. The climate is dry. I wash them so many times in the course of the day due to my handling of goats, chickens, cats and general farm detritus. 
Soap making is hard on the hands.


I need a good hand cream.  


One of my very favorites is the Organic Moisturizing Cream from Tropical Traditions.






It is made with all natural ingredients and without alcohol so it just soaks into my skin and leaves it soft and feeling more like skin and less like sandpaper. The first time you use it you might be all - ewww this stuff is all slimy and it just sits on top and doesn't sink in.  But just wait. In less than a minute the rich oils melt into you skin and all you are left with is smooth, silky skin.


When making scented moisturizing creams Tropical Traditions uses only organic essential oils from France to ensure the highest quality. I chose the Arnica scent which is a combination of wintergreen, clove and others but to me it smells like the old candy cigarettes we used to eat as kids (at least those of us old enough to remember them) and I LOVE the scent.


The biggest plus - you only need use a tiny bit! About a quarter teaspoon and your hands will be feeling all soft and smooth. That makes the 4oz tub last quite a while. I keep it by my bed so I can use the rich cream right before bed. I also have a tub by my sink.


Can you tell I love this cream?


Thanks to the nice folks at Tropical Traditions one lucky reader is going to get a tub of Organic Moisturizing Cream in the scent of their choice!
