 Whipped Cream Dry Hand Repair Balm |
| Review Date: September 25, 2008 |
| Reviewer: ' Groovin' guy, |
Reading the package and ingredients of this cream reminded me of older times, when products were simpler and more natural.
I love nature and natural products and I can't stand all the chemicals in products and foods, this cream is ideal for me.
I applied this to my elbows and also to a dry patch of skin on my forehead and felt relieved of dryness overnight. My hands do get dry in winter and I will surely use this cream on my hands at that time.
It has a fresh, light scent that doesn't overpower. It has a whipped cream consistency as it name implies and I am very satisfied with it over all and would recommend this to anyone. |
Avocado--the versatile product
|
| Review Date: September 24, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Judy K. Polhemus, LA |
As a food, the avocado is high in good fat, making this fruit a great health choice. The Upper Canada researchers perhaps applied this principle to Whipped Hand Repair Balm to create a product that not only works, but works wonderfully.
Not only is this hand repair good for hands, but beneficial for any dry area. The backs of my arms were always dry and bumpy. No matter how much lotion or cream I rubbed on them, they stayed the same. Until... less than a week ago when Whipped Hand Repair Balm came in the mail. I am totally speaking truthfully--the backs of my arms are soft and smooth. Incredible! In less than a week!
As for ingredients, this product contains no mineral oil, no paraben and no synthetic dye. As for aroma, it is very faint. I, for one, am allergic to many odors. If I can use this product, likely so can others with odor allergies. The ingredients in this product are avocado extract, olive oil, shea butter, soy oil, and aloe.
Packaging is also important. What does the package say about this product? Even though the avocado is dark green, the container is bronze, suggestive of the healing properties of the earth.
I give a totally unequivocable recommendation! Avocado Whipped Hand Repair Balm is an excellent product because it does what it says it will.

My Coworkers Love It!!!

I love avocadoes. They are nutritious and delicious. I peel them and eat them raw, I slice them into wedges and toss them into my salads, and I grind them up and make guacamole dip. Naturally, I was excited to learn that Upper Canada had made a hand repair balm containing avocado. Yum!! I wondered if an avocado lotion would feel as good as an avocado tastes. I took a four ounce tube to work to let my coworkers try it.
Seven women and three men sampled it. Most of them said that it had a light fruity or flowery smell. One person said it smelled like a pear, another said strawberry, and another said melon. Everyone agreed that its aroma was fresh, light, and subtle. It was definitely not overpowering like some of the fragrances at Bath and Body Works.
Only a small dab of the thick, highly whipped balm is needed to rub over one's hands. If too much is used, the hands will feel slightly greasy until the balm is absorbed into the skin. Absorption is usually very quick. Most everyone commented that the balm left their hands very smooth and silky. One coworker said that it made their knuckles feel smooth and this product would be great during the winter.
A male coworker noted that the tube contained four ounces of fluid. They remarked that it wouldn't be allowed inside a carryon bag when traveling by plane. It would have to go inside a suitcase.
Looking at the ingredients, I realized that the balm didn't contain as much alcohol as the lotions manufactured by Bath and Body Works. They tend to dry my skin after long usage and I can not apply them to my face. I feel that Upper Canada Whipped Hand Repair Balm is safe to use all over one's body and face. Also, it contains natural ingredients that are healthy for the skin and aid in restoration and healing of damaged cells. These ingredients include Avocado Extract, Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Soy Oil, and Aloe.
All my coworkers, male and female, loved sampling Upper Canada Whipped Hand Repair Balm. Some asked me where to find it and how much it cost. I highly recommend it for those with rough hands and are looking for a vitamin-rich product for healing them.

| I work with children so I wash my hands constantly. This lotion helps to keep them from drying out. I had recent hand surgery and need to massage the scar area, this lotion provides enough lubrication to allow me to massage it as long as I need to. I love the aroma as well, it is pleasant without being overpowering. Combine these things with the fact that it is all natural - this lotion is a sure winner! |
Excellent product is one of the best hand balms I've ever tried

| Reviewer: Hugo D. Hackenbush, Main Street, USA |
An excellent product, I ordered this on a lark, and it turns out to be one of the best hand balms I've ever tried. It dries well, with no greasy residue, it smells great and leaves my hands feeling soft... what more can I ask in a hand balm?
All in all, highly recommended. |
Simply the best

| I received this as a test product through the Vine program. As a nurse my hands take a lot of abuse. Constant washing and Purel use take their toll. I use lots of lotions and cremes and this is my now favorite. The feel and fragrance are wonderful. When I rub this on the scent is like aroma therapy. It actually makes me feel better. Like a short trip to the tropics. There are oils in the product but is not oily feeling. It is like a hand massage. I have let several of my friends use it and they love it too. I have a problem with my finger tips splitting which is very painful. This will repair it within a day. I regularly purchase this.The price is really reasonable. I would pay more at the bath store for a similar product that does not work nearly as well. It must be a hot item as I sometimes have to wait until it becomes available. |
Perfect Hand Cream !

| Reviewer: Southern Man, Georgia, USA |
I want to start out by saying this isn't something I would ordinarily review, I don't usually like Hand Creams or Lotions.
But this one is really nice and doesn't have a real strong smell....it is a fresh clean smell that is noticeable but not over powering....Also I don't care for Lotions that are greasy and make your hands slick...this one makes your hands just a little slick but not much at all...After about 5 minutes you can't tell you have put it on at all except for the faint nice smell and your hands are softer and smoother.
This is very high quality lotion that I will be using during the winter to keep my hands from getting chapped.
My wife also loves this too !
It gets 2 thumbs up ! |
Perfect solution for winter chapped hands

| Review Date: September 23, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Penumbra, Atlanta, GA USA |
This isn't a lightweight lotion meant to instantly sink into dry skin. As the name says, this is designed for skin repair. It's a perfect solution for winter chapped skin. This cream is neither waxy nor greasy, but it is heavier and needs to be worked into the skin for a minute or so before it's completely absorbed.
The cream also has a strong, fresh floral fragrance. The scent isn't something I associate with olives or avocados, but it is very pleasant and long lasting.
You don't have to wait until damage has been done to use this skin repair cream. Applying the cream before going out in windy, damp winter weather would be good for proactive protection, too.
Highly recommended! |
Simple ingredients, light fragrance, rich feel = great product

The Canadians have moisturizing figured out! Upper Canada's Whipped Hand Repair Balm is amazing stuff. The moisturizing ingredients are natural: avocado extract, olive oil, shea butter, soy oil, and aloe. The product is paraben-free, mineral oil-free, synthetic dye-free, and SLS-free.
I was excited to receive this product and as soon as I did, I promptly took placed it in my purse and took it to work to share with my-coworkers, we we're always looking for the ultimate hand moisturizer to keep at our desks in our dry-air cubicle environment. I'll be especially wonderful during the dry winter months.
The result of our product testing:
It has a light scent--think laundry detergent or a dryer sheet--which is clean, but not overbearing like many moisturizers are. After massaging it in, it leaves behind a soft, smooth feel, as if your hands were dipped in paraffin wax. There's no watery or greasy feel whatsoever. A little goes a long way, too. Less than a dime-sized amount is plenty for both hands and a little ways up the arms. After about 10 minutes, hands feel deeply moisturized, but not heavy or oily - just the way I like them. After 4 hours, my skin was still soft. I reapplied after washing my hands, as it doesn't appear to be waterproof.
Consider this comparable to a body butter or hand salve you'd find at one of the body/bath shops at the mall. This comes in a 2-pack of 4 oz. tubes for a total of 8 oz. I imagine they'll last quite a while - one for home and one for work, perhaps? Or buy the 2-pack and give one to a friend! I'd expect to pay as much as $8-$15 for this product 2-pack, as it does a great job, and doesn't take much to do it, so it should last the user a long time. |
love it

| This hand lotion is soothing and has a scent that is not overwhelming but is light and pleasant. I found that it lasted through at least one or two hand washings. It did the trick for soothing my hands, arms, and elbows. It absorbed well, not leaving a sticky residue feeling like some lotions can, and also didn't leave my hands feeling slimy. I like it alot. |
I like it for my FEET! :-)

| Reviewer: G. Hearn, Atlanta, Georgia |
| I tried this product for my hands. . . but honestly, that's not the real reason I got it. I wanted to try it on my feet! ;-) As it says on the label, it's a "repair balm". So it's a bit "heavy" I think for everyday hand cream. If you have really dry hands, then you might like it and it probably works well for that. To be honest, that's not my "problem area". . . it's my FEET! I thought that if it worked well for really dry hands, then it might also work for my feet. . and guess what. . . it does! I've only used it a couple of times, but I can already tell the difference. I first used the Ped Egg (also available on Amazon.com) and then I used some of the Upper Canada Repair Balm. I don't find that regular hand lotion works all that well on my feet, and products sold specifically for feet can be expensive and messy and not have the best odor. . . so. . . I think this product is going to work just fine for me.. . and my FEET! :-) It absorbs quickly on my feet (not so much on my hands, because they are not that dry) it has a nice light scent. Just put and amount about the size of a pea on your heels and you'll see a difference. |
Excellent lotion

Naturally Upper Canada is described as a hand repair balm, but I found this wonderful Avocado scented lotion soothing to the skin on my legs, stomach, and arms as well. My husband is hoping they have a scent that is more 'manly' smelling, since he liked the texture and the soothing feel to his hands and skin as well. He works in remodeling so his skin takes a beating. The lotion is thick, not runny, and if used in the evening after a bath I find I have absolutely refreshed feeling, soft skin by morning no matter what sort of weather beating my skin took during the day. I could see and feel the difference in my husbands chapped, roughed up hands within 24 hours. I would be very interested in purchasing this product in bulk.

Full of good stuff like olive oil, avocado oil, shea butter soy oil and aloe -- That's It! ((What's missing? Chemicals like paraben & synthetics, bad stuff!))
This is a fantastic product! Rich & emoillent, NOT greasy! The fragrance is fresh, clean & slightly floral (not fruity or sweet) -- it could be used as a subtile fragrance or worn with perfume without interfering. Instantly softened my dry cuticles. Dry patches disappeared. My hands felt protected and nourished, plus a little of this rich balm goes a long way. |
It's really good!

| Review Date: September 24, 2008 |
| Reviewer: EMTP EJ, Washington, DC USA |
This is some really good stuff. I don't use hand cream regularly, so my hands were pretty rough, with all the power-washing I have been doing recently. The area around my cuticles gets really dried out and any cuts I get on my hands don't fade like they used to. This product goes on easily and is adsorbed into the skin quickly. If you are concerned that it may make your hands slippery, then it might make a good `night cream' for you. The few calluses I have on my hands are already softer. I don't know how much it will retail for, but I just might pre-order some...
Update: After using this product for a while, it has helped to keep my skin from being raw and dried out. However, there seems to be a LOT of product left in the package that I can't squeeze out, so I cut off the end to get a few more applications worth. It would be nice if the package could be better designed... |
Impressive

| Review Date: September 24, 2008 |
| Reviewer: S. J. Koblentz, Columbus, OH United States |
Having tried this, I'm impressed with this product. The Whipped Hand Balm has a pleasent, yet subtle scent that is appealing to men and women. Fresh from the tube, the product has a thick, luxurious texture that isn't overly oily, nor is it gummy like Eucerin hand creme. Working a small amount of this into my hands, and letting it set up took about two-three minutes for the "fresh lotion" feeling to disapate. My personal feelings is that this was a pleasant product. The packaging is sleek and easy to handle, and frankly looks as if the product cost more than its price.
I did ask a co-worker to try a dab (she is finicky) and she appreciated the clean scent and how quickly the product absorbed into the skin (dried).
Her overall expirience as well as mine was favorable based on the smooth, rich texture, the pleasant scent, and the quick absorption without a greasy feeling. |
Fresh scent and absorbs well

| Review Date: September 24, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Peggy, Norfolk, VA United States |
| I was vary of what the scent might be like for pressed olive avocado, but it has a light, fresh and clean fragrance. A very small amount is all that is needed to soften your hands. I think the ones that complain it is greasy and doesn't absorb well are using too much. The texture reminds me of the Neutrogena hand cream which also only requires a small dab. I was pleasantly surprised that after washing my hands a few times during the day that they still felt moisturized and wonderfully soft. I also use it on my feet and it works equal to other specialty foot lotions. Keep in mind that although it is a 4 ounce tube, that since you only need a very small amount one tube will last a long time. |
Paraben-free lotion is a keeper

| Reviewer: Hope T., Atlanta, GA |
I'm a pretty picky shopper and refuse to buy anything with parabens. Finding natural products outside of the normal brands makes for a nice change. I hadn't used any Upper Canada products before the hand lotion, but now since the lotion was well received at my house, I'll look at the other products they make. I have tried both the Olive Avocado and the Fig Vanilla scents. The Olive Avocado is by far my fav. The scent is light and a little sweet. Not too purfume-y smelling. Both lotions absorb quickly and don't leave a greasy residue.
This is a product that I will purchase for myself and for gifts. |
Silky smooth

| Reviewer: ZETAZEN, Maryland |
This hand lotion not only smells good, but it has a silky smooth texture that keeps your hands moisturized for hours. The scent lingers for awhile and has a light perfume essence to it. A 4 oz tube is generous amount and it will more than likely be well worth the price for two tubes. I like that fact this product is made with all natural ingredients.
I hope Upper Canada Soap and Candle makes this product in other scents. I'd definitely purchase as part of my scented lotions like Bath and Body Works. |
great lotion, light scent

| Reviewer: kj, Maryland |
Really like it. Soaks in quickly, moisture lasts a long time. It has a light scent (not at all like avocado, if that scares you) - enough to smell good, but not enough to cause headaches for a scent-sensitive person like me. I'll def continue using this and consider purchasing another. The packaging is nice too, so it would be great for some sort of little gift basket.
Also, the 4oz tube is quite a bit larger than I thought it would be, and you only need to use a little of the lotion at a time, so this will last quite a while - good deal! |
A Comprehensive 5 Day Review
|
| Review Date: September 25, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Tarun Chachra, Hillsborough, NJ |
Hello All,
I have just received the Hand Repair Cream and thus will review it over 5 days... First of all...background. I am a 39 year old male and work in the IT Field. My hands are continuously around servers/pc's which all have sharp edges and cause a lot of grief to my hands. I am constantly getting cuts, and or skin peeling near my nails...etc....
Day 1.
We received the product yesterday evening and started to immediately use it. First impression - WOW this smells great. Second Impression - Wow, it doesnt feel slimy and it doesnt leave a oily residue on hands. Both my wife and I used it last night and then again before we left his morning. I can tell you the fragrance lasts long and that hands do feel better.
How can I as a guy recommend this - well its simple - I always use creams from bath and body works so that my hands dont dry out and crack endlessly....so this is a welcome addition to my army of creams. SO far so GOOD.
Day 2.
We are both regularly using the product. Once in the Morning and once before Retiring for the night. So far so Good. Same thoughts as above.
Day 3.
The healing begins.
I have noticed that the cracks in my skin around my finger nails is now looking nourished and is feeling less painful. The MRS. also noticing better moisture in her hands and feet....
Day 4.
More of the same....keep watching for updates.
Day 5.
This product continues to impress me. My hands feel great and smell great. My skin is no longer peeling near my nails and this is what I love. This product has a permanent place in our home...
That concludes my review - I am sure you will be satisfied.
UPdate: 02/28/2009
Finally Amazon had more in stock and I was able to purchase a 2 pack....my vine freebie ran out quickly. I HIGHLY recommend this product. |
