I was recently sent a PR package of the eos Shea Butter Hand Cream in the scents Eucalyptus and Coconut. As a fan of eos’s lip balms, shaving cream, and other hand lotion I was all for testing this one out. Was I disappointed? Keep scrolling to find out!

The full-size Shea Butter Hand Cream has 2.5 oz. or 74 mL of product, comes in a plastic stand-up squeeze-tube, has five scents available, and retails for $2.99. The Shea Butter Hand Cream can be purchased at Kohl’s, Target, and eos’s site itself.

eos claims that the Shea Butter Hand Cream is immediately moisturizing and that it is long lasting, even through hand washing! eos also claims that the Shea Butter Hand Cream has 24-hour hydration, that it is fast absorbing, and non-greasy. To go along with that it is supposedly paraben, phthalate, and gluten free. The ingredients for the Shea Butter Hand Cream are:

Due to the fact that the Shea Butter Hand Cream comes in a stand-up squeeze tube, typical of a lot of hand creams, I don’t think there’s much I can say about the packaging. For today’s post we’ll be instead talking about the con’s of the hand cream first. The first thing that I do want to mention is that there is fragrance added into this. From what I can tell that fragrance is just what the scent is to make it last longer (i.e. the only thing I smell when I sniff the eucalyptus hand cream is eucalyptus). The next thing that I want to mention is that there is dimethicone in the hand cream as well. I know not a lot of people are a fan of it so I wanted to mention that it was in there in case you don’t click the link above to expand the ingredients list. I will note that it does come after the cocoa seed butter and shea butter. The last con for me is hard this to find outside of stores. As I mentioned above, I was sent the eucalyptus and coconut scents to test out, however, when I saw there were three other scents I thought it would be fun to test those out as well. However, I couldn’t find them in any of the stores near me that sell eos products, even the stores listed above AND I’ve moved to California which should have made it easier!

Now let’s move onto the pros. First off there’s the scent options, five of them to be exact; Coconut, Eucalyptus, Pink Citrus, Lavender, and Pomegranate Raspberry. There are literally scents that both males and females can use AND scents from different profiles. I found the coconut one to be quite beachy and lovely, while the Hubs found the eucalyptus to be very minty and nasal clearing. Secondly there’s the moisturization, I actually did find these to be very moisturizing and it started as soon as I rubbed it in. The Hubs has been using my L’Occitane hand cream on his hands to try to take down the dryness and he said that the Shea Butter Hand Cream did it faster and the amount of dryness it took away was more. Lastly, let’s talk about the longevity claims. I will say that I don’t feel like this moisturized for 24-hours but it did last a lot longer than any other hand cream that I have and that’s saying something because I’m Ride or Die for the L’Occitane hand cream. The Hubs has been doing the house work since I got my new job so he tested it through the hand washing claim, actually he tested it through several loads of dish washing with Dawn dish detergent and hand washing. He said that he washed two loads of dishes, did a small load of dishes, a rinse of dishes to put in the dishwasher, and washed his hands three or four times before he felt like he needed to reapply the hand cream.

I’m not going to lie, if I find this out in the stores I’m stocking up. I need a tube for the bathroom, the nightstand, my office, my purse, and probably a few other places I haven’t thought of. At $2.99 (unless you get at Kohl’s online, then it’s $4.00 *shock face*) the price is right for this big of a tube of hand cream, especially one that lasts as long as this one does. I hate to say it, especially just as I was about to buy a full-size tube, but this may have just dethroned the L’Occitane hand cream as my favorite hand cream.
