"This stuff is amazing! We have cold, dry winters and all of us get really chapped hands...usually to the point if cracking. The results are almost instant. It is a bit greasy, however if you adjust the amount (a little dab will do) it soaks in quickly and feels so good! It is a great cuticle cream and bug bite ointment too!"

"I liked this salve a lot...it keeps my very very dry hand moisturised. It absorbs well but still keep the hand lubricated which is very important to me.

My dryness decreased with getting enough omega 3. Not only the dryness in my hand but dryness in my eyes also reduced. NSI has a good omega 3 product."

"I am a teacher and I wash my hands often. The soap at school made my hands crack and peel. I am in the process of going paraben, harmful chemical free, so I could not go to my old standbys lotions. I grabed the hand salve. It absorbed great. My knuckles were back to normal after only 2 applications. This stuff is great. My daughter said she did not like the strong smell, but I do.I feel like the jar will last a long time."

"I love this product. It is very soothing. I have extremely dry hands from a horrible bout of poison ivy last year. My hands have never been the same. I have tried everything to keep them smooth and this product is the best. The great part is that it doesn't sting like most hand lotions.
It smells good too."

"I love Burts Bees products. This is an excellent salve for hands that often have to do house cleaning. It is a little greasy at first but it does soak right into my hands and last a long time. I have bought several more of this hand salve and keep them in other areas so I can always use it. Happy with the product."

"The best hand salve I have used. All natural, dissolves into you skin in about 5 minutes without leaving a slippery oily feeling like Vaseline. It lasts a long time compared to other salves. I only wish it tasted better so I could use it as a lip balm too."

"I bought this for my co-worker who has the worst chapped hands. She always as cracks & splits on her fingertips. She has tried many products with no luck at all. She had resorted to wearing gloves when using anything wet, but after weeks they wouldn't heal. I bought this for her and we both noticed a change the next day! Her fingers weren't white from the dryness and after about 3 days he splits were healed! She loves this stuff!!!!"
