SKINFOOD SHEA BUTTER PERFUMED HAND CREAM (ROSE SCENT) 30ML

Values: 100% Genuine (Adilsons policy) · Pregnancy-Safe (no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical UV filters found in the researched ingredient list) · Halal-Friendly* · Vegan-Friendly*. This product is not fragrance-free and is FA-conditional, not FA-safe -- see the Allergens and Sensory sections below before adding either badge to your mental checklist.

Pros: Genuinely fragranced (not just masked), travel-size 30ml tube, softens rough hands quickly according to available reviews, part of an 8-scent SKINFOOD line so you can rotate scents. Caveats: Exact shea-butter percentage for this specific scent is not confirmed with certainty (see Section 23), contains synthetic fragrance and silicones some users prefer to avoid, and the small 30ml size means frequent reordering for daily use.

Hands in Mauritius go through their own version of the over-cleansing cycle: frequent hand-washing with soap, alcohol-based sanitizer between errands, and hot tap water strip the thin lipid film on the back of the hands faster than almost anywhere else on the body, since hands have very few sebaceous glands to replace it. The result is the classic complaint of hands that feel "clean but tight" within minutes of washing -- that tightness is barrier damage, not cleanliness. This cream's Shea Butter, Macadamia Seed Oil, and silicone film-formers (Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane) work by replacing that stripped lipid layer and slowing further water loss, rather than adding a new problem.

If you wash your hands 10+ times a day (healthcare, food service, frequent prayer ablution), reapply after every 2-3 washes rather than waiting until hands feel visibly dry -- by the time dryness is visible, the barrier has already been compromised for a while.

Compatibility checklist:

• Bedside-compatible (no sink needed): Yes
• Requires rinsing: No
• Requires precise dosage: No -- a rough pea-size dab works
• Applicable with unwashed hands: Yes, though it works best after washing off surface grime first
• Requires wait time: Only a minute or two before handling fabric or a phone screen
• Can it be a single-product routine: Yes, this is inherently a one-step product

On a genuinely low-energy day, this is about as close to zero-friction skincare as exists: open tube, dab, rub in, done. If your hands feel sticky rather than soft after application, you likely used too much -- a pea-size amount covers both hands.

Step 1 (When): Any time after hand-washing, AM or PM, as often as needed. Step 2 (How much): A pea-size dab, split between both palms. Step 3 (How): Rub between palms and between fingers until absorbed, on slightly damp skin for best spread.

Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your hand-care routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

1. Wash hands with a gentle, pH-balanced hand wash.
2. Pat hands until slightly damp, not fully dry.
3. Apply a pea-size amount of SKINFOOD Shea Butter Perfumed Hand Cream (Rose), rubbing until absorbed.

In humid Mauritius mornings, slightly damp skin helps the cream's glycerin and butylene glycol pull in extra surface moisture rather than working against dry air.

There is no AM restriction and no SPF mandate tied to this product -- it contains no photosensitizing actives and does not replace hand or body sunscreen if your hands see direct sun for extended periods.

1. Wash hands as part of your evening routine.
2. Apply a slightly more generous dab than in the AM if hands feel tight from the day.
3. Give it a minute to absorb before handling your phone, a book, or bedding, since the silicone film-formers can leave a light residue on fabric and glass until fully absorbed.

This is not an active/exfoliating product, so it has no place in a 4-night skin-cycling schedule -- use it nightly without restriction.

Technique: Rub between palms first to warm the cream, then work it between fingers and over knuckles -- the knuckle skin is thinner and dries fastest, so give it extra attention. Required skin state: Slightly damp works best; fully dry skin also works, just massage a few seconds longer.

Hands deliver 100% of product; there's no cotton-pad equivalent step here. No meaningful wait time is required before normal hand use, though avoid touching fabric or phone screens for about a minute if you used a generous amount.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

This SKINFOOD hand cream is a standalone body-care step -- it does not slot into the facial AM/PM stacks below, but the map is included so you can see where facial moisturizers and treatments sit relative to it.

Global execution rules: Viscosity ladder runs thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals. Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s, serum layers 30-60s, before sunscreen 10-15 minutes if going outdoors.

Amount defaults: watery toner/essence 5-8 drops per layer; serum/ampoule 2-3 drops or 1 pump; eye product half a rice-grain per eye; gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas; occlusive seal rice-grain to pea-size; sunscreen the 2-finger rule for the face, plus one finger for the neck. Hydrators work best on slightly damp skin, retinoids on fully dry skin. If the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase them.

AM Maximum Stack:

1. Rinse/Gentle Cleanse (optional)
2. pH-Prep/Balancing Toner (optional)
3. Hydrating Toner Layers (optional, 1-3)
4. Essence (optional)
5. Mist/Thermal Water (optional)
6. Booster/Soothing Serum (optional)
7. Antioxidant Lane (optional, choose one)
8. Pigment Support Lane (optional, choose one)
9. Hydration Serum Lane (optional)
10. Oil-Control/Sebum-Regulating Lane (optional, choose one)
11. Peptides/Growth-Factor/Repair Lane (optional)

13. Moisturizer
14. Optional Sealing Layer (only if dry/AC)
15. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable)
16. Lip SPF (optional but ideal)

In AM, prioritize comfort and SPF adherence over stacking -- in high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep "one lane" per night.

Lane strictness: One-lane rule -- Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure, default to the safest lane -- barrier/hydration -- and reduce layers.

Rung: Thick cream tier -- thicker than a lotion, thinner than a balm. As a standalone hand product it is not layered under or over other skincare; apply it as the final step after washing. Phase compatibility: This is an oil-in-water emulsion (Water/Glyceryl Stearate/PEG-100 Stearate emulsifier system) carrying both a fatty-oil phase (Shea Butter, Macadamia Seed Oil) and a silicone phase (Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane) -- the silicone phase is what gives the initial slip before the cream sets into a lighter finish.

There are no mandatory prerequisites before starting this product -- it is a passive emollient, not a strength-graded active.

Primary target: Hand dryness and roughness -- Shea Butter and Macadamia Seed Oil form an occlusive layer that slows water loss, while Dimethicone-family silicones add slip and a smoother finish. Secondary benefit: Scent -- this is a genuinely perfumed hand cream, not just an unscented moisturizer, positioned as much for the rose fragrance experience as for hydration.

What this product cannot do: It cannot repair a genuinely compromised skin barrier on its own if the underlying cause (excessive sanitizer use, an undiagnosed skin condition) continues unaddressed; it cannot treat eczema, psoriasis, or fungal or bacterial skin infections; and it cannot lighten skin tone or fade dark spots -- it has no brightening actives.

Every pairing below was verified in Adilsons' live catalog at the time of writing (status:active with real inventory, not just an active listing) -- stock changes constantly, so treat "in stock" as a snapshot, not a guarantee.

• Hetras Perfumed Bubble Hand Wash (Flower Park) -- a pH 5.6 hand wash to use immediately before this cream, so you're not stripping the barrier with a harsher soap right before trying to repair it. Use AM and PM before hand-washing.
• DERMA:B Urea 9.8 Foot Cream -- extend the same barrier-repair logic to feet, which face similar dryness from sandals and hot pavement in Mauritius. Use PM as a separate foot step.
• SOME BY MI AHA-BHA-PHA Miracle Calming Body Lotion -- for arms and body beyond the hands, where a lighter, actives-forward lotion suits larger surface areas better than a rich hand cream. Use AM or PM after showering.
• SKINFOOD Shea Butter Perfumed Hand Cream (Musk Scent) -- same line, SKINFOOD's richer formula tier, useful as a heavier nighttime option when hands need more intensive repair than the daytime Rose scent. Use PM.

Pilling risk with these pairings: Low -- hand cream is not layered under other products, so pilling is not a realistic concern here.

Assessment: Film-Forming (uncertain). This cream's INCI includes multiple silicones (Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer) in addition to Shea Butter and Macadamia Seed Oil -- this combination is more likely to leave a water-resistant film on the skin than a purely humectant lotion would, but we could not confirm how quickly that film breaks down under running water for this specific formula.

If you perform wudu shortly after applying, washing hands with soap and water (rather than a quick rinse) before ablution is the safer approach to ensure water reaches the skin.

Adilsons provides this assessment based on the product's physical properties. Rulings on wudu validity vary between scholars. Consult your own trusted Islamic authority.

MYTH: "A thicker hand cream always means a richer, more effective one." REALITY: Thickness in the tube is mostly a function of emulsifiers and silicones, not proof of a higher active-oil concentration -- SKINFOOD's own line splits into a lighter and a richer tier by design, and both are marketed as effective, just for different climates and preferences.

MYTH: "If my hands still smell like the cream hours later, it's working better." REALITY: Fragrance longevity is a function of the perfume oil used, not the moisturizing performance -- a fast-fading scent doesn't mean the hydrating ingredients stopped working.

In air-conditioned offices for long stretches, this cream's glycerin and butylene glycol can pull moisture from the air as intended, but in a very dry AC room with nothing to draw from, reapplying more frequently is more reliable than expecting one application to last all day.

Sugar cane burning season (July-November): This cream's finish leans toward moderate slip rather than heavy tackiness in its lighter formula tier, so particulate adhesion from cane-burn PM2.5 is a minor concern for hands specifically -- wash hands before reapplying if you've been outdoors during burn season.

*Shea butter's exact concentration for this Rose scent could not be confirmed with certainty. Multiple retailer listings consistently group Rose in SKINFOOD's "light" formula tier (brand-marketed at roughly 5% shea butter, alongside Peach/Grapefruit/Pomegranate), separate from the "rich" ~20% tier (Musk/Honey/Jasmine/Grape).

One other retailer listing attributed 20% directly to Rose, conflicting with that grouping -- we present the more consistently corroborated figure as more likely, not as confirmed fact.

Full INCI List (sourced via ingredient-database research; direct verification against SKINFOOD's own packaging or site was not possible this session -- treat as medium confidence):

Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Dimethicone, Ethylhexylglycerin, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Disodium EDTA, Xanthan Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Allantoin, Sorbitan Isostearate, Sorbitan Oleate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Sucrose Cocoate, Caprylyl Glycol, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Polysorbate 60, Arginine, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Polysorbate 80, Sorbitan Stearate, Isohexadecane, Carbomer, Cetyl Alcohol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Cyclohexasiloxane, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate.

The estimated 1% line above is a rough order-of-INCI approximation, not a brand-disclosed cutoff -- shea butter and macadamia oil both sit below it in the sourced list, which is one reason we treat the "20%" concentration claim for this scent with caution rather than stating it as fact.

Preservative system: Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, and Ethylhexylglycerin -- a standard multi-preservative combination commonly used across K-beauty emulsions, none of them formaldehyde-releasers.

Fragrance status: Synthetic Fragrance (Parfum) -- listed as "Fragrance" in the INCI with no breakdown of individual aromatic components. Scent description: Rose, floral, as the named scent variant. Intensity: Reported as noticeable but not overpowering by available reviews; one reviewer of the Musk sibling scent rated projection low, so expect a moderate rather than long-lasting throw.

EU 26 allergen screen: None of the 26 EU-regulated fragrance allergens (e.g. Linalool, Limonene, Geraniol, Citronellol) are individually declared in the sourced INCI -- they may still be present but undisclosed within the generic "Fragrance" entry.*

*Based on brand-declared INCI. The term "Fragrance" or "Parfum" in the INCI list may contain undisclosed allergens. Patch test advised for sensitive individuals.

Alcohol disclosure: Fatty Alcohols Only (Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol) -- these are moisturizing, not drying, and are unrelated to the irritating short-chain "Alcohol Denat." type ingredient.

Halal status: No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list.*

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan status: No animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list.*

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. This is NOT a formal vegan certification by The Vegan Society or equivalent body.

Cruelty-free status: SKINFOOD states it does not conduct animal testing itself.*

*Brand-stated policy, not independently certified by Leaping Bunny, PETA, or equivalent third-party audit. Brand states cruelty-free, but sells products in Mainland China where post-market animal testing may be required by law; cross-border e-commerce sales may be exempt.

Microplastic status: Microplastic-Free: Yes, by the current EU regulatory definition. The silicones present (Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane) are not solid, insoluble microplastic particles, though silicone-averse users should note they are present in meaningful quantity.

MFDS classification: General Cosmetic. No evidence was found of a Korean MFDS Functional Cosmetic registration (the additional government testing tier reserved for whitening, wrinkle-improvement, or UV-protection claims) for this product -- it is marketed as a standard moisturizing/fragrance hand cream.

Evidence confidence: Low. No brand-published clinical study or in-vivo trial for this specific product was found during research. The ingredient mechanisms (shea butter and macadamia oil as occlusives, silicones as film-formers) are well-established in cosmetic science generally, but no product-specific clinical claim could be verified.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Conditional. Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter are both commonly flagged on Malassezia-feeding ingredient reference lists -- Macadamia oil more consistently than shea butter. This matters far less for the hands (which are not typically a fungal-acne-prone area) than it would for a facial product, but if you extend use to the chest, back, or upper arms and are fungal-acne-prone, be aware of these two ingredients.

Assessment: Low. As a standalone hand product applied after washing rather than layered under other skincare, pilling in the traditional sense (product balling up under a subsequent layer) is not a realistic scenario. If you do notice residue balling on the skin surface itself, you likely applied more than the recommended pea-size amount, or applied to fully dry rather than slightly damp skin.

Color baseline: Expect a consistent white to off-white cream; any yellowing or a rancid, "old oil" smell replacing the rose fragrance indicates oxidation of the plant oils and the product should be discarded. Storage: Keep the tube out of direct sun and away from a hot bathroom windowsill -- Mauritius bathroom humidity and heat both accelerate breakdown of the emulsifier system over time.

Spoilage signs: Separation that won't remix with shaking/kneading the tube, a sour or rancid smell, or a change in texture to gritty or watery. When in doubt, discard.

Patch test: Apply a small amount to the inner forearm, wait 24 hours, then to a small area behind the ear, wait another 24 hours, before regular hand use if you have sensitive skin or a history of fragrance reactions.

72-hour barrier reset (if you react): Stop all actives. For 72 hours, use only a gentle cleanser, a plain fragrance-free moisturizer, and mineral SPF if hands see sun -- no acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils during this window.

After 72 hours, reintroduce one product at a time, spaced 14 days apart.

Emergency stop signals: Hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty -- seek emergency care and discontinue immediately.

1. Waiting until hands feel visibly dry and cracked before reapplying, rather than reapplying proactively after washing.
2. Using a large, more-is-better amount, which just increases the chance of a greasy feel and residue transfer.
3. Applying to fully soaking-wet hands, which dilutes the cream and reduces how well it spreads.
4. Skipping a patch test despite a known nut-oil or fragrance sensitivity.
5. Storing the tube in direct sun on a car dashboard or bathroom windowsill, which accelerates spoilage.

Overuse threshold: There is no meaningful "overuse" ceiling for a passive emollient like this beyond wasting product -- reapply as often as your hands need it.

Usage math: At roughly a pea-size amount (about 0.5ml) per application, a 30ml tube holds approximately 55-60 applications. Lifespan: At 2-3 applications per day, that's roughly 3-4 weeks of daily use; at 1 application per day, closer to 8 weeks. Using noticeably more than a pea-size amount per application will shorten this without improving results.

Reorder timing: Given the small 30ml format, consider reordering when you're down to your last week of expected use rather than waiting until the tube is empty, to allow for delivery time.

This hand cream does what it does biologically in one step: replace the lipid film your hands lose to washing and sanitizer.

AM:

1. Wash hands.
2. Pat to slightly damp.
3. Apply a pea-size dab of SKINFOOD Shea Butter Perfumed Hand Cream (Rose), rub in.

PM: Same three steps, any time before bed.

If you wash your hands 10+ times a day (healthcare, food prep, frequent ablution), reapply after every 2-3 washes rather than waiting for visible dryness. If you're spending long hours in AC, the humectants in this cream (glycerin, butylene glycol) have less ambient moisture to draw from, so reapply slightly more often than in humid outdoor conditions. If your hands are cracked or bleeding at the knuckles, this cream is too light for that level of damage on its own -- see a pharmacist about a dedicated barrier-repair ointment first, then return to this for daily maintenance once skin is intact.

Stock-true bundle ideas:

• Complete Hand Ritual -- this cream + Hetras Perfumed Bubble Hand Wash + DERMA:B Urea 9.8 Foot Cream: wash, hand cream, and a matching foot step for a full hands-and-feet barrier ritual.
• SKINFOOD Scent Wardrobe -- this cream + Musk Scent + Peach Scent: rotate scents by mood or time of day, all three currently in stock.
• Body Layering -- this cream + SOME BY MI AHA-BHA-PHA Miracle Calming Body Lotion: extend barrier care from hands to the rest of the body with a lighter, actives-forward lotion.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with SKINFOOD Shea Butter Perfumed Hand Cream (Rose Scent), not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

If you want a heavier, more occlusive formula from the same brand and line, SKINFOOD Shea Butter Perfumed Hand Cream (Musk Scent) sits in SKINFOOD's richer formula tier -- same brand, different scent and a heavier finish some reviewers describe as slightly oilier. Three other in-catalog alternatives, all verified in stock: 3W CLINIC Moisturizing Collagen Hand Cream (100ml, larger format, collagen-focused rather than shea-focused), Pyunkang Yul Hand Cream Dancheong (75ml, larger format, different brand positioning), and HANYUL Nature In Life Hand Cream Pure Artemisia (artemisia-based rather than shea-based).

Choose Rose Scent over Musk Scent if you need a lighter, faster-absorbing daytime cream: both are the same SKINFOOD hand cream base, but Rose sits in the lighter formula tier while Musk sits in the richer, heavier tier.

If your hands are cracked, peeling, or you're heading into an air-conditioned night, the richer Musk formula may serve you better than Rose. If you want a lighter, all-day scent-and-hydration cream you won't think twice about before touching your phone, Rose is the better fit. Don't upgrade to Musk just for a stronger scent -- scent intensity and shea-butter richness are two separate variables, and a stronger throw isn't guaranteed by the richer tier alone.

Timing and compatibility: Both scents can be used interchangeably AM/PM; there is no conflict-solver relevance here since neither contains active ingredients.

If you match the climate or barrier-state triggers above, the richer Musk formula is worth choosing. If not, this lighter Rose formula is sufficient and arguably the better daily-wear choice. Consistency beats complexity.

SKINFOOD's own line offers a light progression: daily maintenance with a light-tier scent like this Rose (or Peach), stepping up to intensive/dry-season repair with a rich-tier scent like Musk (or Honey, Jasmine, Grape) when hands need more, and for genuinely severe cracking or callusing, a dedicated urea-based barrier-repair product like DERMA:B Urea 9.8 Foot Cream (formulated for feet but illustrative of the next tier up in barrier-repair strength) rather than a fragranced hand cream.

This product's PRIMARY function is: daily hand moisturization with fragrance. You do NOT need this if you already own an unfinished hand cream with a similar fatty-alcohol/silicone emulsion base and no strong preference for the rose scent specifically -- finish your current tube first.

Check your current hand-cream drawer for anything with Shea Butter, Cetearyl Alcohol, and Dimethicone near the top of the INCI -- that's a similar mechanism, and buying a second one while the first still has life left just risks both expiring unused. This tube's exact PAO isn't confirmed from research; check the printed open-jar icon on your unit.

Stacking assessment: No Benefit if you already own another shea-butter-and-silicone hand cream in daily use -- same mechanism, redundant purchase unless it's purely for the different scent.

This Shea Butter Perfumed Hand Cream line sits alongside SKINFOOD's better-known facial lines (Rice, Black Sugar, Carrot Carotene, Peach Cotton Zinc PCA) as the brand's body/hand-care offering, applying the same "real ingredient, real scent" positioning to hand care that the brand built its facial reputation on.

Dedicated review coverage for the Rose scent specifically is limited. One paraphrased YesStyle buyer review of the Rose scent describes it as smelling very good, with the reviewer noting they planned to repurchase it -- a positive, though brief, data point.

For broader context, we also found written reviews for the Musk scent (same hand cream line, richer formula tier, not the same product) on Nykaa and Influenster. Positive themes there: hydrating on dry hands, absorbs quickly, and "probably the best hand cream with perfume" in one reviewer's words. Mixed/critical themes for that Musk variant: one reviewer rated scent projection low (2 out of 10), another found the texture a little oily and prone to smudging phone screens unless used at night, and a third wished a different moisturizing base had been used instead of shea butter.

No dedicated Reddit thread (r/AsianBeauty or otherwise) discussing this product was found during research. Common praise across the line: pleasant fragrance and fast absorption. Common complaint: scent projection can be underwhelming for some users, and the richer-tier scents can feel oilier than expected.

Sustainability: Check the tube's plastic resin code before recycling locally, as squeeze-tube laminates are not universally accepted in all municipal recycling streams; the product is not refillable.

Is the shea butter concentration really 20%? We could not confirm this with certainty for the Rose scent specifically -- most retailer sources group Rose in SKINFOOD's lighter ~5% tier, while one listing claims 20%. See the Ingredient Transparency section for the full discrepancy.

Will this leave my phone screen greasy? Reviewers of the richer Musk-scent sibling reported some smudging; the lighter formula tier this Rose scent belongs to is described as less oily, but waiting a minute after application before handling glass or fabric is a safe habit regardless.

Is it fragrance-free or suitable for very sensitive skin? No -- it contains synthetic fragrance and is not marketed or formulated as a sensitive-skin/fragrance-free product. Patch test first if you're unsure.

Can I use this on my face? It's formulated and marketed for hands; the fragrance load and silicone-forward texture make it a less ideal choice for facial skin than a dedicated facial moisturizer.

How long does one tube last? At roughly one pea-size application per use, expect around 55-60 uses from the 30ml tube -- see the Usage Economics section for daily-use timelines.

Best for: Anyone who wants a genuinely fragranced, fast-absorbing hand cream for daily use against Mauritius's washing-and-humidity dryness cycle, and who doesn't mind that the exact shea-butter percentage for this scent isn't fully confirmed.

Key benefits: Occlusive shea butter and macadamia oil base for real barrier support; light, non-greasy finish in this formula tier per available reviews; genuinely fragranced rather than just neutral-scented; small, travel-friendly 30ml format.

Keep in mind: The shea-butter concentration for this exact scent is not independently confirmed; it contains synthetic fragrance and several silicones, which won't suit everyone; and the 30ml size means more frequent reordering for daily, heavy-handed use.
