We’re throwing the book at dry hands right now – but this makes for a lovely, lovely slather, and softer hands by morning. (Or – actually – immediately.)

From the Portuguese heritage brand, it’s based around a renowned botanical, allantoin, known for its soothing, nourishing effect on skin – and this botanical wonder ingredient been harnessed by Benamôr since this beauty name was founded, way back in 1925. 

A cream-gel formula, it has a lovely citrusy, outdoorsy scent and a luscious texture that nevertheless sinks in fast. We’re also MASSIVE fans of Benamôr's packaging – Art Deco-esque and really most covetable. (We can attest: this tube makes a lovely desk accessory – which is a great way to keep it, um, HANDY!)

It’s affordably priced, but there’s another fab way to get your hands on Benamôr Alantoíne Hand Cream, because it features in The Perfume Society’s The Scented Retreat Discovery Box, which was recently launched. You’ll find it alongside a home fragrance discovery set from La Montaña (we already raved about that, here), a selection of exquisite fragrances, and other at-home spa treats from Legology, Molton Brown, Botanics and Ecooking. (See the box’s full line-up, below).

We can almost HEAR our hands saying ‘obrigada’, when we smooth it in…
