Human Nature Series: Hand and Foot Salve

Here we are. This is the start of a series of reviews on amazing Human Nature products. I've been a fan ever since I discovered their products online late last year. They've been around for quite a while and have attracted a large number of avid supporters. What's great about Human Nature is that they use locally-sourced organic ingredients, no harmful chemicals, and biodegradable materials in all their products. So when you buy any of their merchandise, you're not only helping your body by introducing natural products into it, but you're also aiding communities in the Philippines that grow the ingredients, and you're also helping the environment BIG TIME. Plus, they're CRUELTY-FREE, which is great for vegetarians like myself. It means that they do not perform animal testing.

They're much like The Body Shop, only way cheaper since they get their materials from within the Philippines, they won't have to pay a lot of taxes, eventually resulting to more budget-friendly prices! It's definitely a social enterprise worth advocating. To top it all off, they have high quality products that are sure to satisfy your cosmetic needs!

One of my most valuable purchases so far are these hand and foot salve which promises to heal and moisturize even the driest skin, particularly in your well, hands and feet! Trust me, it really works! Having had cracked skin on my feet is such a pain. It feels uncomfortable and even if I had a foot spa done, after a few weeks, it will come back to its original state. When I discovered this hand and foot salve, I did not have to worry about how dry my feet would be. I just slough it on at least twice a day and slowly, I noticed that my insanely tough heels became softer. Using it in your hands is great too! It will soften the dry skin near your nail area and give a pinkish-reddish glow to your palms after you've massaged them.

It comes in two yummy-smelling flavors!

This is the banana-carrot-bee propolis variant. It smells insanely delicious, you'll want to eat the whole pot! A pot costs about Php 140 ($3) and you'll be using it for a long time. 

Non-greasy formula!


It also comes in eucalyptus scent. Great for those who love a relaxing minty smell.

Same price. Same formulation.
If you don't have enough moolah for a trip to the nail and foot salon for a good scrub, just slap some o' these babies on to your rough-and-tough skin and in a few days, you'll notice that your skin grew softer. Plus you'll have saved up on those foot spa sessions! It's also very handy. You can take it anywhere. If you're a fan of hand lotion, this hand and foot salve comes in a non-greasy formulation so you won't have to worry about things slipping out of your hands. You'll just have touchable, softer, and smoother skin! Definitely worth a try.

On the flip side, it contains bee pollen. If you're allergic, you might want to steer clear from this product. But other than that, it contains no paraben, no preservatives, so there's no reason to doubt it 'cause it's organic. ;)

What's your favorite hand and foot moisturizer?
