A richly nourishing, floral-scented natural hand cream handcrafted in West Wittering from a blend of shea butter, sweet almond oil, and apricot kernel oil — scented with pure jasmine and neroli essential oils. The most luxurious and indulgent scent in the Puremess hand cream range. Absorbs readily without greasiness, leaving hands soft, smooth, and beautifully fragranced.
Hands that work hard deserve better than basic
Most hand creams sit on the surface of the skin rather than absorbing into it — leaving a greasy film that transfers to everything you touch. This formula is built around a trio of complementary plant oils and butters that absorb readily into the skin rather than coating it.
Shea butter forms the nourishing backbone of the formula — rich in oleic and stearic acids and naturally occurring vitamin E, it softens and conditions dry, rough, or work-worn skin deeply and durably. Sweet almond oil brings a lighter, fast-absorbing layer of nourishment naturally rich in vitamins A and E and oleic and linoleic acids that closely mirror the skin's own sebum. Apricot kernel oil is particularly rich in vitamin A precursors and oleic acid — a beautifully light, skin-compatible oil that absorbs quickly and leaves no residue.
Together these three ingredients deliver a genuine skin superfood — vitamins A, E, and the essential fatty acids collectively known as vitamin F, all in one formula that absorbs cleanly and comfortably.
Vegetable glycerin acts as a humectant, drawing moisture to the skin's surface and maintaining hydration throughout the day. The emulsifier system — cetearyl alcohol and ceteareth-20 — creates the cream's smooth, comfortable texture.
The essential oil blend is what makes this variant truly special. Jasmine absolute — one of the most prized and complex botanicals in natural perfumery — has a rich, warm, deeply floral character that's simultaneously sensual and comforting. It takes an extraordinary quantity of jasmine flowers to produce even a small amount of the oil, which is why jasmine is among the most valued essential oils in natural skincare and fragrance. Neroli — steam-distilled from the blossom of the bitter orange tree — adds a soft, sophisticated floral-citrus lift that elevates the jasmine beautifully, preventing it from becoming too heavy and giving the blend an airy, luminous quality. Together they create a scent that feels genuinely luxurious — the kind you'd expect from a premium botanical fragrance, not a hand cream.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this hand cream absorb without feeling greasy? The formula is built around sweet almond and apricot kernel oils — both lightweight, fast-absorbing oils with a fatty acid profile that closely mirrors the skin's own sebum. This means the cream integrates with the skin rather than sitting on top of it. The shea butter provides the deep nourishment; the oils ensure it absorbs cleanly. A small amount is genuinely all you need.
Is this hand cream suitable for sensitive skin? Yes — it's free from synthetic fragrance, parabens, sulphates, and the most common irritants in conventional hand creams. The scent comes entirely from pure jasmine and neroli essential oils. If you have a known sensitivity to any specific botanical ingredient, check the full INCI before use.
Why is jasmine so special as a fragrance ingredient? Jasmine absolute is one of the most prized and complex botanicals in natural perfumery. It takes an extraordinary quantity of jasmine flowers — harvested by hand, typically at night when the fragrance is most intense — to produce even a small amount of the oil. The result is a rich, warm, deeply floral scent with a natural complexity that synthetic jasmine fragrance simply cannot replicate. In this hand cream it's paired with neroli, which lifts and brightens the jasmine beautifully and gives the blend its distinctive luminous quality.
What vitamins does this hand cream contain? The base oils deliver a natural complement of skin-supportive vitamins. Sweet almond and apricot kernel oils are both naturally rich in vitamin A precursors and vitamin E. Shea butter contains naturally occurring vitamin E and the essential fatty acids collectively known as vitamin F — oleic and linoleic acids that help maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Is this a good gift? Absolutely — the Jasmine & Neroli is our most popular hand cream for gifting. The luxurious floral scent, beautifully nourishing formula, and the choice of 50g or 100g make it a genuinely thoughtful gift for anyone who deserves a little pampering. It pairs beautifully with the Gentle Liquid Hand Soap for a complete hand care gift.
Which size should I choose? The 50g at £8 is perfect for a handbag, desk, or trying for the first time. The 100g at £14 is better value for daily use at home and makes a more generous gift.
