Repair winter’s moisture-sucking assault on your skin with the Body Shop’s Hemp Hand Protector. The retail chain’s top-selling product is a miracle worker for chapped hands and overexposed dry patches. The secret is in the seed: hemp seed oil produced by small-scale family farmers in the Body Shop’s Community Fair Trade program offers a moisture boost thanks to its high concentration of essential fatty acids. Organic beeswax acts as a barrier to seal in moisture. This is powerful stuff, so a little goes a long way ($10, the Body Shop, 220 Yonge, 416-977-7364, and others, thebodyshop.ca).
