Smells SO good, and does not leave your hands greasy.
My absolute favorite lotion scent ever! I buy 3 at a time to ensure I have one in my purse, by my bedside, and in my work bag!
My mother is particular about scents. This lotion was a perfect blend for her, light and refreshing without being overpowering. Will be buying more for her in the future.
I love the refreshing fragrance and how soft it makes my hands feel after a hard day of labor in the garden or at work in a kitchen!
Even though it's the dead of winter and I've not been gardening, the Gardener's Hand lotion is my winter staple for the dry skin that happens with wood stoves and low humidity. I keep a tube of it my desk where I spend too much time sitting and apply it at least twice a day. My hands are happy! Making the rest of me happy, too.
I have relatives that live on Orcas. I have been to the Island numerous times over the years and purchased Island Thyme products for many moons, largely lip balm, and body lotions as well as muscle rubs. I've never been disappointed.
The store is quite attractive, simple, well lighted and inviting--as are the staff. * > *

The variety of products is just right--not inundating and overwhelming as in traditional stores. The natural ingredients of the hand-crafted products are always refreshing and healing.
Whether I purchase online or in person Island Thyme will remain a part of my personal care.
I love this product! The smell is fantastic and it really helps moisturize my hands. I have a tough time in winter keeping my hands from being too dry. This is the best lotion for winter hands! It’s not greasy and absorbs completely. I just bought the bigger bottle. And I’m so glad I did!
Perfect
Love the smell, feel, everything.
Keeps my hands protected inside my gardening gloves. Great product from this company. Great soaps too.
I bought this to have something small and convenient, and it is great! Smooth and soft hands with a light scent that isn't overpowering.
Best hand cream ever !!!
It’s not greasy, smells great and my hands are soft and moisturized !!
It’s so good my brother & husband use it .
I have a large bottle in the bathroom and a small tube in my purse.
Love this lotion. Immediately softens my hands, and doesn’t have a girly scent, so my husband uses it, too.
This lotion has a nice body and a lovely fragrance. Not overpowering.. Gentle and subtle.
Lotions and creams are good for hands and body.
Island Thyme products are reasonably priced. The lotion is not greasy and softens your hands.. A wonderful gift for a gardener.
Perfect for after gardening. Love it!
I keep this in my car for when I need some hand moisturizer, and we keep it by the kitchen sink, too, since hands get dry after doing dishes. Very moisturizing without being greasy. Love it!
A wonderful addition to my Island Thyme lotion collection. Wonderful scent. Feels good.
I love all of the Island Thyme creams that I have used for many years. This is a new addition to this list of favorites. I shall plan to purchase more as gifts!!!
Very nice lotion with nice organic scent!
I love the new jar size and available pump. I keep this by my kitchen sink to use after gardening, painting, or just when I need a little hydration on my hands. The scent is light and subtle-in no way “too sweet” or perfumy. I have used most of the IT lotions-this my overall favorite (they are all great).
This is lovely thick cream that really hydrates your skin. I use it on hands and body, and I can see and feel the difference, but it not only. Love it. Maybe in Lavender Vanilla one day?
I am constantly in the dirt or washing my hands and this lotion is so penetrating. It makes my skin feel hydrated. I will definitely purchase a bigger size next time. Thank you for your education on preparation!!
This is the lotion that got me pointed to Island Thyme. I received it as a gift from my neighbor that kids me about gardening until dark. Once I started using it, I noticed a light shinny oil on my fingernails when first applied and it soaked into my nails as if I had just buffed them. Not to mention my hands tingled in a good way and all sore spots were gone. I highly recommend this for any hard working hands. Oh, and I put any excess on my face! This is one of the things I LOVE about Island Thyme products.
I use this silky lotion all over. Despite its lightweight feel, it effectively moisturizes my dry body skin, as well.
Haven't opened it yet, but I've loved and used Gardener's soap for many years. It's my most favorite of favorite soaps..
I love the Gardener's hand lotion. I've been fighting with eczema for a couple years and this is the first product i've found that actually has contributed to my hands healing up. Love the fragrance, love the feel. I'm also a fan of the metal pump bottle, and the glass refill options. NO more plastic packaging! Thanks for that, and your wonderful products.
Hey Julie, we're so delighted to hear that you are enjoying our Gardener's Hand Lotion! We appreciate your feedback about our packaging, too! :)
Helped my dry hands in a flash, a newfound friend.
A friend told me about islandthyme hand crm. I needed face creme, so I tried the face creme & body scrub & think they are great!
The fragrance is wonderful, very herby with lavender tones as well. A nice feel to the moisturizing cream. Would buy again.
I love this hand lotion. Rich and emollient without being greasy and it smells wonderful. My hands feel soothed and deeply hydrated after using it. It’s a shoe in for dry heals as well!
Lovely hand lotion - rich, not sticky, perfect lavender scent. I appreciate the prompt service! Always buy an extra for a gift.
Our Process
Nature's best
We start with the highest quality flowers, herbs, and medicinals. Some, like calendula, lavender, and cucumber, come from the Island Thyme farm. Others, like St. John's Wort, are wildcrafted in Montana's Bitterroot Mountains. Others are sourced from around the world.
Time-tested recipes
All of our recipes have been developed in-house over the past 25+ years. Starting from skin-nourishing base ingredients like sweet almond oil and beeswax, we fine-tune the scent and texture.
Small batches
No industrial manufacturing here! In our commercial kitchen in the village of Eastsound on Orcas Island, our crew meticulously crafts each product in small batches for freshness and quality control.
Delivered to you
After labeling, products are ready for you, our amazingly loyal customers. Our shipping team boxes up online orders, stocks our two storefronts in Eastsound and Friday Harbor, and prepares shipments to our wholesale outlets, which include natural food stores and gift shops throughout the Pacific Northwest
