I have been using Verité Spa Organics Japanese Lemon, Vanilla & Jasmine Hand Cream for a couple of years, and it is really helping my very chapped hands in this cold weather.

Verité was founded by Janin Dei Conti who is a trained aromatherapist. She says, "I had become quite disenchanted with the skincare industry and advertising that made me feel I had to conform to a certain standard to be okay, to look okay, skin treatments that left my skin feeling worse than when I arrived, and no real connection between therapist and customer. So I began to create a range of skincare and treatments that I would want to experience in a spa environment. Researching, and working with the most skin-loving plant botanicals to create a truly holistic experience. Treatments that when you walked out of one, you felt completely loved, nurtured, replenished, and rejuvenated on all levels."

Verité Spa Organics Japanese Lemon, Vanilla & Jasmine Hand Cream is absolutely otherworldly. It is mid-weight, intensely emollient, and the antioxidant-rich formula melts into the skin immediately. Skin is left soft, velvety, unmistakably nourished, moisturized and delectably scented. The aroma is indescribably beautiful! It is a sublime mixture of Japanese Lemon, Rose Damascena Flower Water, Vanilla and Jasmine. You really have to experience it for yourself to understand its true beauty. This is, without question, my very favorite hand cream. This is leaving my chapped hands soft, smooth, supply and richly moisturized, and the aroma brings me tremendous joy!

According to Janin,

For the hand cream, my inspiration was of course the huge amounts of handwashing everyone is doing at this time, and for my best friend who is a nurse and uses hand cream a hundred times a day. It needed to be moisturizing, protective, absorb really well, not have an overpowering scent and be long lasting. So, I put together oils such as Meadowfoam (for its amazing moisturizing and rejuvenating properties, it also prevents moisture loss), NZ flaxseed oil which is rich in essential fatty acids which help repair skin cells. Hemp seed oil and Comfrey oil are wonderful anti-inflammatory oils, and Hemp seed oil is really high in vitamins like omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin C, D, and B. I used Baobab to improve skin elasticity. Then, Hyaluronic acid was to really increase those hydration & moisture levels and soften and restore elasticity to the skin. I think Yuzu (Japanese lemon) is the most delightful and uplifting scent. It just evokes feelings of sunshine and joy really & it’s also revitalising to the skin! Jasmine is wonderful for dry or irritated skin. Its gorgeous scent along with vanilla is calming & produces positive feelings (so necessary during these times!).
