What I mean by this strange-sounding bit of advice is that if you grab an apple or a cookie shortly after applying hand cream and find yourself grimacing at the off-taste, it’s likely your cream is full of petroleum-based goo and dyes and synthetic fragrance. A more natural, plant-based lotion will, while not exactly tasting great, be more neutral.
I hope to put up some recipes for homemade creams eventually (still reading and testing), but in the meantime I can suggest two brands that pass the ewww test in my book: Burt’s Bees and Originals.
