It's not a hand cream, it's a hand balm, and it's exquisitely crafted, like everything from the brand. It leaves skin supple and nourished. All Aesop products take between two and 10 years to formulate. Nothing about them is chosen at random. This one is made with mandarin, rosemary, and cedarwood oils.
Why is it a good hand balm? The skin on the hands is thick and lacks sebaceous glands, which makes it unique for moisturizing other areas of the body. This balm contains ingredients focused on exposure to water, air, and handwork; it also softens cuticles.
