I’m constantly washing my hands throughout the day, cooking and spending time on the ice skating rink, so my hands tend to get super dry. Because of this, I always carry a good hand cream in my purse, and this eos Vanilla Cashmere Shea Butter Hand Cream is my favorite. Similar to the eos lotion, this cream smells just like a slice of vanilla cake, and did I mention that it’s super soft and creamy, too? Here’s why it’s the most-used item in my purse.

Infused with shea butter and seven nourishing oils, this eos hand cream provides 24-hour hydration, and its non-greasy formula leaves your hands feeling smooth. With notes of vanilla, caramel and soft musk, your hands will smell like you’ve been in a bakery all day long. This cream is also vegan, dermatologist tested, hypoallergenic and gluten, paraben and cruelty free.

As a best-selling hand cream with over 15,000 ratings on Amazon, reviewers love to carry this cream everywhere they go.

“Love this stuff! I have like three tubes (one at home, one at work and one in my tablet bag for on the go). I like the smell, which is not overwhelming and love the texture,” says one reviewer. “I even bought a tube for my brother. He’s an ice skater and is always talking about how rough his feet are, so I figured this would help with that. He is also very happy with the product.”

If you struggle with dry skin throughout the day, carry this eos hand cream with you. Not only will your hands feel hydrated, but everyone will be asking you what scent you’re wearing after slathering this on.
