As any gardener knows, rooting around in soil and wielding garden tools for hours can really take a toll on your hands. As much as we love being out there, the cracked skin around the nails and fingertips afterwards isn’t quite as much fun.

A long soak in the bath and a liberal application of Hack Wax, however, and morale is well and truly restored.

A gardener’s best friend, the cream blends natural essential oils (almond oil, evening primrose oil, avocado oil, geranium oil and chamomile oil) with beeswax, aloe vera and vitamin E - making for a really rich and nourishing balm.

Apply a dab to hands daily and after any hard work in the garden and rub it in well to keep hands soft and crack-free. Supplied in a 75g tin with a printed cardboard box.
