Burts Bees Farmers Friend Hand Salve, 3-Ounce Tin (Pack of 3)

Very masculine scent....ok, my wife likes it too. Only con is the price. Be careful as it doesnt soak into your skin as rapidly as many other products. I like that about it.

my husband is a fisherman and has tried so many salves! this one is the one he requests specifically.

We have been using this product for years. Great for winter hands.

Amazing stuff! I live in the desert (ya, the dry heat) that sucks the life out of your skin and Burts Bees is just downright the best!

Skin care

First, I have been using this product for at least five years. Like other reviewers, I liked it, but found that it was a bit greasy for my taste. I would apply it at night and then put on gloves to keep it on my hands and off my sheets. However, I had an inspiration one day that if this product is too greasy but my Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion is not greasy enough... It was a classic light bulb moment! So, shortly after every shower, I apply a thin layer of Burts Bees Hand Salve followed by a dab of the (unscented) Aveeno product which seals it in. I know, I know, not as natural, but the Aveeno is unscented and the combination WORKS! I use the two products every day on my hands, below the knees including my feet and a couple of other places. The dry red patches around my elbows have been long gone. Regarding the ingredients: this product is 100% natural according to its label. Sweet almond oil is listed as the first ingredient. That oil is not cheap, but it has great healing qualities. The essential oils are lavandin, rosemary and eucalyptus. Lavandin is a cheaper-to-produce cousin of lavender that smells more herbal and camphoraceous. With these three pronounced camphoraceous oils in there, some might find it masculine. I happen to LOVE the smell of this product, but some reviewers have found it objectionable and too strong. At least it is *natural.* And these essential oils all have their therapeutic qualities. Also, as all essential oils are volatile, the smell quickly dissipates when they are put on warm skin. Some have complained that this product is too hard out of the container. For the first use, I give the center a little dig, scooping out a bit with the back of my fingernail. It is easy from there. As a gardener, I appreciated the suggestion of one reviewer to put this product on *before* gardening so that cleanup is a breeze. In my experience, this pack of three will last me one year with daily use as I outlined.

This is the greatest product dry skin. It last the entire day.

All terrific! Fast & as advertised.

Great for a person who does bodywork and does not want slippery lotion or oil. Good for Rolfing or structural integration type work where you want some give but not too slippery like massage oil or lotion. Also great for your hands!

Works great! I love the scent and I use it every night on my hands (with cotton gloves) and heels (with cotton socks). Im smooth and moisturized by morning!
