Palmer's Raw Shea Hand Cream - 60g-8

Product Overview

The Raw Shea Hand Cream by Palmer’s is a rich, deeply‑moisturising hand cream formulated with raw, natural shea butter that is ethically and sustainably sourced from Africa. 
 

It is designed to help soften, protect and repair dry, rough or chapped hands by creating a “glove‑like protective barrier” that seals in moisture. 
 

The 60 g size makes it convenient for everyday use, travel or for keeping in your bag or desk drawer.
In essence: a hand‑cream that leans rich and protective, especially suitable when your hands feel stressed (e.g., frequent washing, exposure, dryness).

• Versatile usage: According to listings, while primarily for hands, it can also be used on other dry areas such as elbows, knees, feet if needed. 

Benefits

Why Choose This Product?

You might pick this hand cream if:

• Your hands are very dry, rough or cracked, especially after frequent washing, sanitising, or exposure to elements.
• You want a rich hand‑cream that goes beyond basic light hydration — something that truly helps restore rather than just temporarily soften.
• You appreciate a fairly clean formulation (free of many harsh additives) and ethically sourced key ingredients (she a butter from Africa).
• You want a portable size (60 g) for everyday carry or travel.
• You may also want something that can support other dry patches (elbows, knees, feet) so you get multi‑use.

On the flip side, things to consider:

• If you have oily skin on hands or dislike heavy creams, this may feel rich/heavy — might take more time to absorb compared to very light lotions.
• If your hands are mildly dry and you prefer ultra‑light texture, you might prefer a lighter hand‑cream instead.
• As with all hand‑care, frequent re‑application may still be needed especially after washing hands or using sanitiser.
• Ensure authenticity and packaging—some user reviews online mention issues with packaging/seals.
