The richest hand cream in the entire book, positioned specifically for the most cracked, overworked hands, a genuine step up in intensity from the Camel, Almond, and Hemp Milk versions, thanks to cashew's naturally higher fat content stacking with shea butter's own protective properties.

Kitchen note
Reserve this cream for nighttime or downtime use given its richness, it's noticeably heavier than the everyday hand creams elsewhere in the book and works best when given time to fully absorb.
