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

This is a three pack that I received taped together very well however the top tin is dented in so much, I cannot open it. This item is not eligible to be returned nor do I see where I can contact the seller. Other than that, I love this hand salve very much.

Bouldering/Rock climbing and your hands feel like they were mining grounds for some ore or something. the calluses are crazy and need to be shaved form time to time (lest they rip off while climbing and you are out of action for a week). This right here is an amazing salve, just the right viscosity to stick on the skin when applied lightly, sink in proper and ease the calluses within a day or 2. right after a climbing session these are god sent. same goes for cracked heels. Highly recommended.

The only thing that helps my eczema and dgysodrosis on my hands. Holds up to hard kitchen work and cold weather. A bit oily but worth it for the comfort.

My son who handles alot of cardboard, his hand dry and he uses this all the time.

The most amazing salve for feet and hands. I always buy I’m multiple packs.

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.

Great product

It works, smells medicinal/herbal, very greasy. Im not expecting no grease feeling, but this is like playing with vegetable oil.

Always a favorite! A requirement for saving your hands from cold winter weather.
