Product Review 'Australian Bodycare Tea Tree Hand and Body Lotion'

Over the years I have tried and tested hundreds of hand creams and until recently my personal favourite has always been 'Soap and Glory Hand Food'. I think the main reason this has been my favourite is the colour of the bottle (PINK!) and also the smell of the cream, it really does smell like marshmallows!

However I decided it was about time I had a change and decided to try one of our own products 'Australian Bodycare Hand and Body Lotion'. The bottle isn't quite as pretty as the Soap & Glory but its a nice shade of green and very practical with a screw top rather than a cap, so chance of spillage. As you can see from the photo below the bottle is the perfect size to put in your handbag to.


The scent is fresh and light (tea tree) so greta for both men and women to use and the consistency of the cream isn't to thick and spread easily on my hands. The lotion is white and left my hands feeling instantly moisturised and smelling fresh. I have to say I was very impressed! It didn't leave my hands feeling greasy afterwards just supple. The lotion can also be used as all over body cream and is often applied to shaved skin to moisturise and help prevent ingrowing hairs.

The ingredients are as follows:

Aqua, paraffinum liquidum, melaleuca alternifolia (5%), glycerine, isopropyl myristate, stearic cid, glycol stearate, isopropyl lanolate, triethanolamine, carbomer, cetearyl alcohol, sodium laureth sulphate, propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea, methylparaben, propylparaben, limonene, linalool, coumarine, parfum.
