BadgerHardworking HandsUSDA Organic

This is a very greasy cream, a bit like putting Vaseline on your hands. It does rehydrate them however the smell is unpleasant, a bit like a cross between peppermint and horse liniment! I would not buy again

This is a fabulous and reliable healing balm for the skin

After reading the rave reviews of this I decided to give it a try. Sadly this is not for me, after a few days and nights it didn't help to repair my hands. Perhaps I needed to use this for weeks to see results? I'm not entirely sure but my hands were too sore to wait that long.I have a few dry patches on my hands (which sometimes will crack) mainly due to hand washing. Usually after a 2-3 nights of applying hand cream I can see and feel results, but not with Badger Hardworking Hands.The instructions to "lightly swipe fingers over the surface" does not result in getting enough balm out of the tin. I had to dig my fingers in to get a lump of the balm out to be able to rub it around on my hands. It does leave them slightly oily for a little while. The smell is unusual, it's not the nicest.I am now using Body Shop Hemp hand cream admittedly this also has an unusual smell, but it does work!

It was good, but greasy, greasy, greasy. I had come across this product by Googling for 'best hand cream for builders', with a view to getting it for my then partner who was complaining of cracked and sore hands and feet in winter on the building site. This salve was one of the two recommended by building regulatory bodies and trade bodies for the construction sector in the U.K. and had been well tested by builders with very good reviews.It is more of a grease or salve than a cream, so this is a very good water barrier for sure. If the man gets his hands wet inside gloves, I have no doubt this will do the trick and keep the hands dry and supple. So I don't take anything away from the reviews given to it m=by hundreds of men on construction sites. They know what they are talking about.However, for me, it is too greasy and it sits atop the skin instead of sinking in. I do like it very much for night-time application on dry feet, though, but it may again make your bedding greasy or stained.I like to use it on my lips when they feel dry, and a small dab on the hands feels and smells nice--but there are better products for day-to-day handcare unless you really are on a construction site or similar. Smells lovely, by the way.

so i too contribute my 5 star review: ) the balm works , have very dry hands due to taking certain medications and my general tendency to dry skin , tried many various hand/body creams/lotions etc....expensive, cheap but there was never really any positive and longstanding effect visible on the skin.Have bought this balm after reading many encouraging reviews.Now, myself tried the balm and can say : it works , quickly and effectively.what is more it stays on hands even after 2 hand washes!after the 2 nd wash I still can feel this protective layer of cream on my hands : ). skin looks visibly nourished ,soft and elastic, less wrinkled: )and this is only after 1 week of applying the balm!the tin itself is quite big and handy ( 56g/2oz), because this is a concentrated balm I use only small amount which goes a long way: ).The only thing I would like to point out is the smell: the scent of this particular balm( does nt apply to other badger products) isnt one I like a lot, this is due of course to herbal combination of the balm.all ingredients are natural and organic which is fab!however the scent is not very pleasant.what is the most important for me is that it does the job very well, for going out I may use other hand creams with slightly more agreeable scent : ) wholeheartedly recommend this balm to troubled skin, not only for hands , good for feet too ..

I'm a chef .. that means lots of washing hands and alot of putting hands over heat.My hands would dry out and crack. Often to the point where they would start to bleed in winter.I got told about this by another chef so I gave it a go.. as soon as my hands started to crack and dry I used it and went to bed .8 hours later .. I'm not even joking one use .. and they were much better than they were . A 2nd use the next day and the skin was back to normal.I very rarely get cracked skin now but when I do I use the badger balm and its sorted

Received this yesterday (Amazon Prime) for my crusty thumbs (new condition). I give five stars as I already use Badger Sleep Balm for 18 month old Zara ever since she was tiny, and absolutely (crusty) thumbs up for that. So based on that success story I ordered this product. I also give five stars because I ordered two in error in my haste to start treating my hardworking hands. Just arranging to return the second tin to be informed my refund is issued but I don't need to return it! Thank you Grafton International, very kind. So, started using it this morning and my hands are lovely and soft and moisturised as are my thumbs, hoping they will heal too, before too long. Yay for Badger Balm!
