The Rituals hand balm is first class. It keeps your hands soft in these harsh cold days. Its better than some hand cream I bought in northern Finland! It quickly loses the stickiness when applied and its benefits last for some time. The balm appears expensive but its high quality makes it worthwhile

I've tried everything -- Clinique, Clarins, Kiehls, Aquaphor. This smells the best -- by a long shot. It works great. It doesn't leave your hands greasy -- I put it on and go straight to my kindle or phone, no problem. And did I mention the smell? My family always compliments me. It isn't too strong; it's just really fresh.
