The optimist's cream. Same shea-rich base, but with rosewood and sweet orange to lift your mood alongside your moisture levels.

Same foundation as all our creams. Organic shea butter makes up 50% of the oil blend. Same rich texture, same deep healing, same glass packaging. But this one's for optimists and those who want to be.

Just two essential oils: rosewood and sweet orange. No synthetic fragrance. Rosewood isn't from roses. It's from a South American tree that smells woody-floral, warm but not heavy, sophisticated but approachable. Sweet orange is pure citrus sunshine. Together they create what Victoria describes as happiness. "This scent makes me happy."

This is morning cream. New beginnings cream. The cream Juleeanna discovered "worked better than any other lotion" on her dry winter skin. Because here's the thing about winter skin. It's not just physically dry; it's emotionally dry too. Short days, no sun, everything gray. Your skin needs moisture and your mood needs lifting. This does both.

"This is the optimist's cream. Same 50% shea butter oil blend as the others, but with rosewood and sweet orange essential oils only. Rosewood isn't actually from roses. It's this warm, woody-floral that's grounding but not heavy. Sweet orange is pure brightness. Together they create what Victoria calls happiness in a jar. It's the cream for morning routines, for winter blues, for when you need your skincare to remind you that things are actually okay."

— Emily Whitlock, Co-Founder & Formulator


Why You'll Love the Rosewood & Sweet Orange Hand & Body Cream

  • Pure essential oils only. Rosewood and sweet orange create natural mood elevation without synthetic fragrance.
  • Same 50% shea butter oil blend that made Juleeanna abandon every other lotion she'd tried.
  • The scent Victoria says "makes me happy." Not overwhelming, just wonderful and very natural.
  • Perfect for hard-working hands and harder winters. Addresses both the physical and emotional dryness.
  • Morning cream that sets an optimistic tone lasting all day. Teresa keeps it as her standby for a reason.

Why We Do It

"I love that this scent makes me happy. It's not super strong or overwhelming but wonderful and very natural. This lotion is very rich and moisturizing. Perfect for my hard-working hands!"
— Victoria S.

Small shop, real humans. Sometimes the label gets reprinted faster than the formula changes; sometimes the formula is current and the label is catching up. If you're managing an allergy or sensitivity, the safest path is to check both this page and the printed label. If anything's missing or unclear, ask us. We'd rather answer the question than have you guess.

Morning application sets the tone. The sweet orange hits first. Immediate brightness, instant mood shift. Then rosewood follows with its woody-floral warmth that grounds the citrus without weighing it down. Victoria loves that it's "not super strong," just present enough to notice throughout the day. Massage into skin and watch it disappear despite the richness. Perfect for what Victoria calls "hard-working hands" but also perfect for hearts that need reminding: winter ends, sun returns, things get better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does rosewood actually smell like? Is it like roses?

A: Not at all. Rosewood comes from a South American tree, not roses. It has a warm, woody-floral aroma that's sophisticated but approachable. Think grounding warmth with a soft, rosy undertone. Combined with sweet orange, it creates something uniquely uplifting without being perfumey or overwhelming.

Q: Will this actually help my dry winter skin, or is it just about the scent?

A: Both. The formula is identical to our other shea butter creams, with 50% shea butter in the oil blend. Juleeanna specifically noted it "worked better than any other lotion" on her dry winter skin. The mood-lifting scent is a bonus, not a substitute for real moisture.

Q: How long does the scent last?

A: Victoria describes it as "not super strong or overwhelming but wonderful." The essential oils are present enough to notice throughout the day without being perfumey. Sweet orange hits first, then rosewood settles into a subtle warmth that lingers. It's designed for daily wear, not to announce your arrival.

Refreshing and Soothing Hand Cream

I keep this cream at my kitchen sink to use after I've washed my hands multiple times when cooking. It's a refreshing, soothing hydration treat for my hands and takes away any residual smells, like garlic or onion. Oh, and it's great for my cuticles and nails too.

Danielle, keeping this one by the kitchen sink is a smart move. The garlic and onion lifting off your hands? That is the sweet orange. Citrus oil is one of the few things that genuinely cuts kitchen smells, and this cream is just real sweet orange and rosewood, nothing synthetic. The shea base runs rich enough for hands washed ten times over but still sinks in fast, so refreshing and soothing is exactly right. And the cuticles and nails are the oils handing you a little extra you never asked for.

Always great lotion

Always great lotion.

Leanne, the hard part of a handmade cream is getting it the same every single time, and 'always great' means we're getting that part right. Glad it's the lotion you keep reaching for.

Beautiful and Effective H+B Cream

Two of my favorite scents, vanilla and coconut, combined into this cream of my dreams. I've used this cream on my hands every night before bed this winter. This effective blend of oils and butters prevented any rough, dry patches from surfacing. Like magic! I'm sad to hear that this original scent is discontinued, but I'm confident that Em'z will create another magnifi-scent in its place.

Good news: the coconut vanilla is back. The original was discontinued, but we reformulated until we nailed that same scent, so your nightly hand ritual is safe. Your confidence in us was not misplaced, just faster to pay off than expected. And 'magnifi-scent' got a real laugh here; we are absolutely stealing that.

Best quality body lotion

I love this lotion! It is the creamiest, creamiest and more creamy! And the scent is lovely, not too strong. Just sweet coconut and vanilla. And it is ā€˜cruelty free’ lotion, comes in a glass bottle so I can recycle it rather than adding more plastic bottles to the ocean! I only wish that I could recycle the bottle to Emz so she could reuse, maybe someday?
Easy online ordering and curb side pick up.
Highly recommend this top quality all over body lotion. I do the auto renew every other month and this pencils out to about $12/mth. for a top of the line local, recyclable product. Well worth it!
