Molton Brown‘s new Rhubarb & Rose Replenishing Hand Cream has arrived, just in time for spring. It’s quickly become a new office favourite – it’s been followed by a chorus of “mmm” and “aahh”s as we’ve passed it around all week! Grace explains why she loves this product, which harnesses the best scents from traditional English gardens, with a zesty, modern twist.
When I think of a traditional English garden, rose and rhubarb are just a couple of the bright and beautiful plants that spring to mind – as a child, my back garden boasted both and I remember my mum’s a-ma-zing rhubarb crumbles as a result!
The two are combined in this sinks-in-fast formula – but they aren’t just there to make it smell divine! Rhubarb and rose extracts are renowned for their renewing and moisturising properties. They’re joined by nourishing white truffle, shea butter and glycerine to revive weather-beaten dry skin. Though it absorbs fast, the delish scent lingers for an hour or so after use.
So that’s the traditional side taken care of, but the clever experts at Molton Brown keep this particular hand cream fresh and modern by hopping across to the Mediterranean and adding a zesty kick of mandarin and grapefruit to the mix. I’ll be picking one up for my mum this coming Mother’s Day to take her back to the house and garden I grew up in – and I’m sure I’ll be nicking it from her handbag before I pick one up for myself too.
