Jade Orchid Hand Cream

Soften, nourish and protect hands with the Jade Orchid Hand Cream(notes of vanilla, freshly cut flowers and honey), infused with Shea Butter and the flowers of the yellow Jade Orchid, this orchid is traditionally used in South Asia, for several purposes; in worship ceremonies, whether at home or out in temples, also generally worn in hair by girls and women as a means of beauty ornament as well as a natural perfume.

The flowers are floated in bowls of water to scent the room, as a fragrant and colorful decoration. The tree was traditionally used to make fragrant hair and massage oils.

Jean Patou’s famous perfume, 'Joy', the second best selling perfume in the world is derived in part from the essential oils of the yellow jade orchid flowers. The vernacular name "Joy perfume tree" comes from this. Many niche perfumers are now once again using it as single note fragrances.
