Gardeners Hand Balm

Description

Restore hardworking hands—naturally.

If you love being outdoors but your hands pay the price, The Bee Fairy’s Gardeners Hand Balm is the perfect post-gardening remedy. Made with care in the Teme Valley, this balm is packed with nature’s finest ingredients to soothe, heal, and protect skin exposed to soil, sun, wind, and water.

Conventional hand creams often contain petroleum derivatives and synthetic perfumes that may coat the skin but don’t support long-term healing. Our balm uses beeswax and botanical oils to cleanse away grime and lock in nourishing moisture—helping the skin regenerate naturally.

Ideal for gardeners, farmers, florists, dog walkers, or anyone whose hands are regularly exposed to the elements. It also works brilliantly on elbows, knees, and legs that suffer from flakiness or dryness.

The refreshing and earthy scent comes from a blend of Rose Geranium, Citronella, and Bergamot essential oils—chosen not only for their aroma but for their skin-soothing, anti-inflammatory, and mildly antimicrobial properties.

🌿 Ingredient Benefits
