About this product

A rich hand cream that leaves skin silky and soft for hours. Shea butter and cocoa butter provide deep hydration, grape seed oil conditions without heaviness, and Sodium PCA from seaweed and algae helps the skin hold onto moisture long after application.

The fragrance is the same layered blend as their hand soap (which, if you have not tried yet, you should). Marjoram opens sharp and herbal, palmarosa softens it into something rosy, and vetiver grounds the whole thing. Five organic essential oils, no synthetics. The kind of hand cream worth keeping by the sink, on the bedside table, or in your bag.

Each bottle carries original Indian ink artwork by fine artist Christian Newby. 100% recycled. Fully recyclable. Certified organic by the Soil Association. 98.5% natural origin.

Why it's BRiMM

This is the brand's hero product for a reason. The cream is rich enough to protect hands through a full day of washing, cooking and cold weather, but light enough to absorb without leaving a film. It holds full Soil Association organic certification, and the scent, structured in layers with an earthy vetiver base, matches the hand soap so the two work as a pair.

Bessie Austin created the range because she could not find natural bodycare that felt contemporary enough. Her father Richard has been in organic retail since 1976. Together they handcraft in East Anglia and commission fine artists for the packaging. Featured in the New York Times T Magazine and Wallpaper*. Stocked at Liberty and The Conran Shop.

How to use

Apply a small amount to clean hands after washing

Massage into the skin until fully absorbed

Use as often as needed, particularly after washing or before bed

Suitable for all skin types

Pairs naturally with the Austin Austin Palmarosa & Vetiver Hand Soap for the same herbal-green fragrance from sink to skin.
