Markey's Personal Review My hands are in and out of water, detergents, bleach, chemicals all day long. This cream has given me back my hands. Although so many others we make always give me relief, this one has repaired my hands and softened them beyond anything I could have hoped for. We sent this as samples sometime ago although I didn't keep any for myself so when formulating this to offer to our customers I kept some to test. I am very proud to offer this to my customers.
NOTE This product was recently tested on a customer here in Prescott with an uncommon dilemma/skin condition called 'Ichthyosis Vulgaris'. Along with the Exfo Lotion we offer and a follow up with this cream and the KP (keratosis pilaris) Serum, his skin has improved dramatically.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.

Really Works!
This hand cream is fantastic for several reasons, but number one is that it soaks in fast and doesn't leave my hands all oily. My hands are so dry in the winter that sometimes I need several consecutive applications to get relief, but it works really well to rejuvenate my severely dry hands. Better than any shea butter cream I've tried. It prevented those terrible dry cracks I used to get near the edges of my pointer fingers. It even helped with healing some small cuts, AND it helped get rid of an annoying callous. The scent is a bit strange but light and doesn't linger too long. I hope they can eventually offer it in a more eco-friendly container (like tin or glass).
So happy this is a cream that works for you!
Email us and we can always do this customized for you for a custom fee with the glass. :)
