Hello!
With the start of colder weather, I decided to get myself a travel sized hand cream to keep in my bag because my hands get very dry. I wanted a hand cream that was super moisturizing but not greasy, and either unscented or lightly scented.
I was taking a shortcut through one of the malls to get to the metro and spotted a Body Shop and decided to pop in to see if they had any travel sized hand creams.
The Body Shop that I went to had four different travel sized hand creams – absinthe, hemp, almond and wild rose. I smelled them all in the store and decided to buy the Wild Rose scented hand cream because it has a true rose scent (it smells exactly like a freshly picked rose from the garden *swoon*).
The Wild Rose Hand Cream really is super moisturizing, and not at all greasy.
I only have two small complaints – the first is that you have to be careful not to squeeze the metal tube too hard, else the hand cream will continue to ooze out of the tube while you are trying to get the cap back on the tube. My second complaint is that, although I do love the wild rose scent, it was VERY STRONGLY scented when I first opened the tube. So much so, that it was be smelled from across the room. But after using it daily, for nearly two weeks, the scent has started to lessen (thankfully).
Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
Disclosure: I purchased this!

Borghese slendide hand cream, SPF 8 and has lasting silky feeling. Costly though, ask for samples first.

I remember trying Body Shop hand cream ages ago and it was greasy – glad to hear the formula is better now.

I hate greasy hand cream – you can’t touch anything until it soaks in! Well I only smelled the other ones, so maybe the other ones might be greasy.

I know rose scent smells so good and as you said, the problem with metal tube is , certain amount comes even after you stop squeezing.

You should check out Haus of Gloi’s Rose City – it is such a gorgeous true rose scent, I’ve tried it in their bubbling scrub and their pumpkin butter. Don’t get scared by the patchouli note, it is barely there.

I’m going to the post office to pick up a package of their goodies later this morning! I’m really hoping that I won’t have to pay any customs fees.

Love the packaging! I happen to have this as well and I agree that the initial scent is a bit insane but it calms down a lot 🙂
