With the aromatic properties of Lavender, this is definately a soothing cream. Great for hard-working hands that need a little down time! The scent of the lotion is super yummy, it's a great one to use before bed (relaxing). I love that it's easily absorbed, and you don't need a lot of the product - it lasts long and doesn't leave you with greasy hands. I would highly recommend this hand lotion!
