Moisturizing without being overly greasy, Pharmacopia's delectable-smelling lavender hand cream ($10.25 for 2.7 ounces; 15.50 for 8.9 ounces) dries smoothly without making you feel like you've dipped your hands into an oil slick.

Made with certified-organic lavender extract and aloe vera, along with French lavender and Roman chamomile essential oils, vitamins A, D, and E, comfrey extract, and organic and fair-trade shea butter, this vegan-friendly cream is free from cancer-causing parabens. One ingredient raises eyebrows, however: phenoxyethanol, a preservative and irritant that has been labeled a "moderate hazard" by the Environmental Working Group for its potential toxicity at moderate to high doses. ::PharmacopiaMore Beauty LabPerfect Organics All-Natural Orange Ginger Shea ButterOrigins Youthtopia Eye-Firming CreamBadger Classic Lip Balms Now Certified OrganicErbaviva Organic DeodorantBeeCeuticals Organics Bee-Hair-NowCup O' Joe
