Gardener's Hand Lotion
A luxurious soothing hand lotion made especially for gardeners (or anyone with hands that need an extra level of tlc!).
Healing : Soothing : Repairing
After spending many long hours working away in the meadow, we’ve formulated a hand lotion to specifically target concerns of garden lovers! From dry flaking nails, scratched fingers, chapped knuckles and blistered palms, we’ve got you covered! This hand lotion is deeply moisturising and protecting due to the inclusion of honesty oil and beeswax, soothing irritation and healing the skin as a result of the amazing complex of botanicals it contains (selfheal, chickweed, dandelion, plantain, chamomile and yarrow).
Certified Wildlife Friendly.

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.
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 wash, being antibacterial, soothing, cooling and calming (of both allergic skin reactions and insect bites).
Lunaria (honesty) oil – the violet flowered honesty plant requires very limited treatment during its growing cycle, meaning that it has a low environmental impact. Even better the crop has been recognised by the Royal Horticultural society as being hugely beneficial to local insect populations, thus having a positive impact on the local pollinators. When it comes to skincare, the oil of this amazing plant is an effective natural moisturiser, improving skin hydration and barrier function as a result of the super long chain fatty acids.
Beeswax – when we started Seilich, we wanted to produce products that we’re 100% vegan, however we also wanted to make products using locally sourced ingredients. When it came to sourcing a wax for our hand lotion it very quickly became obvious that is was impossible to find a botanical wax that was sourced in the UK, whereas a very lovely local bee keeper had an abundance of beeswax we could use. It was at this point that we realised we’d have to prioritise our priorities! Using locally produced ingredients is so important to us; it ensures our products have a low carbon footprint and are fresh and produced to the highest standards… and it just so happens that beeswax is an amazing addition to skincare, being lubricating and softening, reducing water loss from the upper layers of the skin, moisturizing and protecting. In addition, it is anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory and high in vitamin A.
