Shoppers are praising an affordable £15 hand and nail set from Tropic as a 'really nice gift' for Christmas, highlighting its 'comforting' fragrance and non-sticky formula. The Frangipani Santal Hand Collection is priced at £15 but carries a value of £22, offering £7 in savings on the duo.
The bundle is described as a two-step hand ritual aimed at delivering softer skin and stronger nails, with a focus on deeply nourishing dry, hardworking hands. Fans of the set note its 'subtle but comforting' scent, featuring notes of coconut, frangipani and santal.
What the Set Includes
The collection contains a velvety hand balm that Tropic claims 'melts effortlessly into skin,' soothing dry and weary hands, alongside a restorative cuticle oil designed to condition nails upon application. The packaging is also highlighted as suitable for gifting.
For those seeking alternatives, the retailer offers a Mango Brûlée Hand and Lip Selection for £12, while the £20 Coconut and Tonka Macaron Body Selection cleanses, exfoliates and nourishes the skin, according to the Daily Record.
Reviews and Alternatives
The Frangipani Santal Hand Collection has attracted three reviews online so far, all awarding a five-star rating. One reviewer commented: "Smells lovely but not overpowering. Nicely packaged too, so would be a nice gift for someone." Another customer noted: "This smells really nice but not too strong. Comes in a really nice box so would also make a really nice gift."
A third reviewer remarked: "I thought this was going to have a marzipan-like smell....but it doesn't. However, the aroma is very subtle, but also very comforting. The hand cream is not too thick and sticky; it is on the more oily side...but not too much. The cuticle oil is gorgeous too."
For those sensitive to fragrance, Nursem's Caring Hand Cream Unfragranced is available at Space NK for £10. On the high street, L'Occitane's Hand Cream Collection is currently offered by LookFantastic for £22.40, reduced from £28, featuring three 30ml tubes in almond, shea butter and cherry blossom formulations.
The Frangipani Santal Hand Collection is a limited edition item within Tropic's Christmas range, so availability may be short-lived.
