Pink Products: Aveda Hand Relief.

/

For the month of October, this limited-edition Hand Relief from Aveda is specially packaged in a 5oz tube and features a limited-edition pink ribbon design. Emphasizing the importance of early detection, the packaging reminds users of their annual breast exam.

 

The formula is a very thick, yet non-greasy, cream to help soothe dry, chapped hands, leaving them noticeably softer and smoother. It is my go to tube of hand cream all through out the year.

Aveda will contribute $4 per tube sold, up to $300,000 donation to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Hand Relief retails for $21 and is available in Aveda salons, spas, stores and online at aveda.com.

*I received this product as a press sample at a press event.
