So, nobody bought you roses today? (Er, that could be us.)

Rise above, is our advice, and treat yourself to this instead.

Longstanding fans of Bamford’s nourishing-but-not-greasy, silkifying hand formulas, we’re enchanted by this new Bamford Rose Hand Balm, with its rosy-posy scent. 99% natural, certified thus by COSMOS, it gets its softening power from wheatgerm oil, cocoa and shea butters, a touch of (non-sticky) honey and golden jojoba.

The scent, meanwhile, will have you sniffing your hands (ignore the weird looks), in which rose is complemented by herbaceous chamomile, orange oil and lemon – a ‘fresh rose’, and just lovely.

In a recyclable aluminium tube, it will last way, way longer than any vase of roses, too.
