"Clarins' original hand cream might be an icon, but the Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Balm is giving it a run for its money, thanks to its intensely nourishing and deliciously rich texture packed with no less than 26% fair trade shea butter." - Kate, Escentual Beauty Team.   Why You'll Love The Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Balm: Richer and more intensely nourishing version of the best-selling Hand and Nail Treatment Cream. Deeply nourishes, protects and softens dry to very dry, damaged skin. Targets age spots, strengthens nails and nourishes cuticles. Features a rich but non-sticky texture.   What You Need To Know: Fans of the best-selling Hand and Nail Treatment Cream who have longed for an even more nourishing formula, it's time to rejoice: this balm is your answer to prayer. Designed to hydrate, comfort and protect dry, very dry or damaged skin, Clarins' hand balm features a higher concentration of shea butter compared to the original - in fact, over a quarter of its formulation is made up of fair trade shea butter - to nourish, soothe and condition your hands. The 96% natural balm also uses organic baobab oil, sesame oil and white mulberry extract to strengthen your nails, nourish cuticles, protect against environmental damage and target age spots.   Why It's Escentual: With a whopping 26% concentration of fair trade shea butter, you know from that get-go that this balm is not only going to be intensely nourishing. The Hand and Nail Balm has a rich balm texture; it smooths over your hands and absorbs into the skin quickly, offering an invisible layer of protection without feeling sticky, heavy or greasy. As a bonus, the hand balm has an uplifting citrus-floral scent that makes this hand cream a joy to use. One of our favourite things about this conditioning hand treatment is that it's still respectful of our natural environment and local producers. Whilst allowing your dry, damaged skin to benefit from high-quality shea butter, the hand balm also supports the livelihoods of female shea butter producers worldwide as Clarins is a proud member of the Global Shea Alliance, which supports sustainable practices and safe work environments.   The Best Way To Use It: Use whenever needed. Apply by massaging the hand cream into your skin, working from your fingertips towards your wrist, paying special attention to your cuticles. Work in until fully absorbed.   The Sustainable Side: The outer carton is made using paper from sustainably-managed forests. Incorporating recycled plastic, the tube can be recycled after use.
