Gardener's Hand Wash

A healing hand wash made from meadow grown nettle and peppermint to clean and soothe garden weary hands!

Cleaning : Soothing : Invigorating

After spending many long hours working away in the meadow, we’ve formulated a hand wash to specifically target concerns of garden lovers! From dirt encrusted nails, scratched fingers, chapped knuckles and blistered palms, we’ve got you covered!

This product is Certified Wildlife Friendly as the ingredients have been grown in our wildflower meadows which are created first and foremost for nature conservation.

200ml

Containing soothing peppermint, restorative nettle, and antimicrobial yarrow distilled by us on the farm, along with a powerful botanical complex comprising healing selfheal, nourishing plantain and anti-inflammatory chickweed all of which are grown by us (by our very own gardeners hands) in the meadow. The cleansers help to remove engrained dirt and dead skin cells, while the botanical complex and added moisturisers help to sooth, calm and heal any unhappy areas. As well as gardeners, this hand wash will benefit anyone whose hands need a little bit of tlc, from drivers and dog walkers to dish washers!

Suitable for all skin types (particularly very dirty hands!)

Apply to damp skin, massage in to those areas that need extra exfoliation, before washing away.

Nettle Hydrosol - made from handpicked young nettle leaves, distilled in small batches in our workshop. Distilled nettle has an earthy unmistakably ‘nettle-like’ scent and is naturally hydrating, toning, stimulating and astringent.

Peppermint Hydrosol – made from meadow grown peppermint leaves, picked at the height of summer for optimum ‘mintiness’! This hydrosol has a fresh uplifting scent and is makes an excellent addition to this hand lotion, being antibacterial, soothing, cooling and calming (of both allergic skin reactions and insect bites).

Botanical glycerite - made from hand-picked meadow-grown chickweed, plantain and self-heal which have soothing, healing and nourishing properties, these botanicals are gently dried before being infused in the humectant glycerine.

Saccharide isomerate – now although this one sounds a bit scary, it’s actually a natural ingredient that’s made from nothing more than plant sugars (glucose and fructose). As gardeners hands can often be quite dry after a day covered in mud, its important that hand washes are moisturising as well as cleansing. That’s where Saccharide isomerate comes in; it’s fairly magical in it’s moisturising ability; it pulls moisture from the atmosphere, binding it to the keratin layer, where it cannot be washed out.
