I got this free with a recent online order, and was super excited as it's a product I've been curious about for a while now. What does hemp lotion even smell like? Turns out, the answer is dirt. It smells like dirt. I suppose it would be nice for someone who gardens a lot, has rough hands, and is used to that earthy, natural smell, but for me, it came as kind of a shock. I used the lotion once and shelved it. Here's the rub: it has such a wonderful thick consistency, it heals skin, and it moisturizes without feeling super greasy. The actual lotion is so good, I eventually started using it again. I wouldn't use it around other people, because seriously, the smell is just too weird. I keep it on my nightstand and use it on my hands right before bed. It also works well on my feet. Bottom line: it's a great product, as long as you can get past the dirt smell. I'd still recommend it, but go do a sniff test first.
I work in the dental hygiene field, so I wash my hands what feels like hundreds of times a day. My knuckles get very dried out (especially this time of year), and I needed something that would be very moisturizing to keep my skin from cracking. I had used body butters from the body shop before and decided I'd give this a try. I ordered it online since there are no stores that carry this brand in my area, and I wish that I had been able to smell it before I purchased it. I am very prone to headaches due to certain smells, and this lotion instantly induces a headache for me every time I've used it. I really want to like this product, but the smell is just not for me. It also doesn't absorb into my skin very well, and it's greasy. I will be giving this away unfortunately.

This lotion is heavy, even a little greasy at first, but it protects your hands through several hand washings. It has a pleasant earthy scent that doesn't trigger my allergies. I love it especially in the winter.

Love this, my hands get dry and this keeps them soft. Not sticky at all. Best hand cream ever! Love it💚

I have loved this product forever. Love the scent and how it makes my hands feel.
Ashlyn from Wichita
This is forever a staple in my skincare kit. I use this hand cream nightly and it heals dry and chapped skin. I go through one tube per year, so it's worth every penny and a little goes a long way! It doesn't leave a greasy feeling and is lightweight.
Susan from Midland, Mi
This stuff works GREAT. My hands are always dry and cracked to the point that they bleed and just using this a couple of times they are almost cleared up. I LOVE it and will definitely buy again.
Trieditall from South Carolina
This is great for dry hands/cuticles. I've used lots of hand creams and this is a new fav.

I haven't purchased this in eons, probably since college when The Body Shop was a big thing. My hands have always been dry, but are even drier now due to the constant hand washing and sanitizing due to Covid. My normal lotions have done nothing and I've been racking my brain about what I could try. I was making an online purchase here on Ulta recently and this popped up and I remembered how much I loved this hand cream back in the day so I bought two. I think the formula may have changed, it doesn't seem as thick as it used to, and the packaging, while similar, feels cheaper. This is still a good hand cream so I'm pleased with this purchased. My hands feel and look smoother after one use.

Stef from USA
Couldn't use, the smell is entirely too strong and unpleasant! And it lingers for HOURS even after washing it off...
Jules from KY
Yeah, this smells like 1992. But it works so, so well. I used this 20 years ago, and it worked amazingly well, but I was young and dry skin wasn't much of a problem. Now, my skin is considerably drier and cracks and bleeds in the winter. Nothing has worked, so I remembered this and figured I would see if it would help. Literally ONE use and the cracks have healed and my callouses are noticably smaller and softer.

everything i've used doesn't work on me and this is the best thing i've ever used it works so well
cherrylmnade from Denver
Hate hate hate the smell. It moisturizes fine but makes my hands smell like weed head.
Flower from Florida
This hand treatment is not greasy. It is very hydrating and stays on through several hand washings.
Pixie from Texas
I've been using body shop products since I was a teenager overseas. When I came to the US I was so happy to see that Ulta carried some of their products! Including my all time favourite hand cream the Hemp Hand Protector. For someone who's always had dry, eczema proned skin I need a decent hand cream (especially when I'm hairdressing!) this stuff is awesome and my mom also always used it after gardening.
Manda from TN
I normally hate hand cream with a passion even though it's a necessity for me. My hands get so so so dry and this is the only thing I've found that doesn't BURN when I put it on my dry cracked hands
Mrs H from Knoxville
Every time I wash and dry my hands I use this hand cream to minimize the cracked skin I usually get in the winter.
JK in TX from Texas (USA)
I was looking for some kind of hand repair cream to combat the dry skin I get from a combo of constant dishwashing, and dry winter weather. This cream is perfect. Just a little squeeze goes a long way and it really does make my hands feel better.
Silky hands from Mi
I love the silky texture and it smells heavenly. All my friends are using it now. I carry it in my purse. The shower bar is great too.
Angelica from Anaheim, CA
This product really works! My hands have gone from dry and irritated to moisturized and feeling wonderful. I've tried many different products for dry hands but this one is the best!
Nana from Blue Hill, Maine
My hands & fingers would cling to fabrics & I could hear a "plucky" sound as they stuck to clothes. Dry, cracked winter hands are no more! My hands are actually smooth! GREAT product, thank you!!!
AZbookseller from Arizona
This is the best hand care around. It's very rich so I generally use it at night before I go to bed. It's great for very dry skin and also for everyday protection. Worth every penny!
Chitown from Chicago
I got this as a sample and was pretty excited but it smells like a head shop in a bad way. I wouldn't mind a Nag Champa or patchouli. It smells smokey and a little off brand air freshener.
Indiana Girl from Valparaiso, IN
I have been using this hand lotion for years, and is my favorite by far! It is thick, but absorbs in the skin silky smooth, and definitely works to soften & protect hands.
Jax from Lansing, MI
This is THE BEST hand moisturizer. I have used it fir several years and have recommended it to several people. I put some on every night before going to bed and my hands don't crack. I only use it in the winter months as that is when my hands tend to try out. Using this prevents that from happening.
