Long days in the field lead to rough chapped hands, hours of moving the hives around lead to hands that eventually look like sand paper. To make matters worse, the bee stings can blow up your hands like a balloon and make them itch like crazy. Well at the time we had a small line of soaps and lip balms, but no cream. My wife would comment on my hands and tell me that it was time to make a cream that would alleviate my rough beaten skin, but also soothe my bee stings. Challenge accepted, I started to do the research on what makes a great unscented hand cream.
