I have time and time again come across reviews online just praising
Burt's Bees products. I myself have gotten the opportunity to try Burt's
Bees products before, some I liked, and others not so much.
As far as Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme goes though, this scum in a jug is by far the worst hand creme I have ever used in my life- period!
Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme was given to me by my uncle
who whenever comes out for a visit brings us bags of free cosmetics and
body products. Seeing how I knew the brand already and had a semi
positive outlook on the brand I imagined that I would like this hand
creme.
Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme given to me came in a small
travel sized glass container. It was perfect! I figured if I liked this
creme I could easily chuck it into my purse and tote it along with me.
The Creme:
I opened the lid and looked inside at the creme. It was a very light
brown color, but at first glance it did not resemble creme at all. In
fact it looked more like melted candle wax. The appearance kind of
sickened me, but I went ahead and dipped my fingers into the jar to
scoop out some of the... um... eww... what the hell is this!?!?!?!
I didn't scoop out any glorious creamy creme, Burt's Bees Almond Milk
Beeswax Hand Creme in fact felt exactly like it looked. Like wax! It had
a sticky gooey feel to it, like I had just dipped my hand into some
tree sap.
I tried smearing it around on my hands, and it only made things worse.
It was as if I were trying to smear slightly melted candle wax around
on my hands. It was very thick, very sticky, and disgusting.
The scent was just as sickening. My boyfriend who was lying next to me in bed smelled it and replied with a giant "Ew", followed by, "that smells like rotting wood!"
Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme also never absorbed into my
skin! It did however leave a disgusting film on my hands which I
compare to orange peel goop (you know, that nasty residue that gets left behind on your hands after you peel an orange? Yeah like that!).
In order to remove it from my hands I had to use an alcohol based hand
sanitizer, even then some of it managed to stick around.
Overall:
Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme is the most disgusting hand
creme I have ever used. It leaves behind a waxy texture on your hands
that is greasy and sticky at the same time. It smells bad, and does not
absorb into skin.
I recommend you skip Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme entirely.
