Cake's Milk Made hand and cuticle buffer is a scrub intended to condition your hands and cuticles and leave you feeling smooth and moisturized. It's use isn't just limited to the hands, it works great on feet and it can be used anywhere that you want to exfoliate and scrub off dead skin. The sugar in this treatment works to exfoliate and smooth the skin while the oils work to moisturize skin leaving skin smooth and soft.

Approximately 75% of the bottle's contents is sugar and 25% is oil. The sugar settles at the bottom of the jar so when you're ready to use this treatment I recommend either stirring it really good or applying it slowly and carefully to avoid making a mess and wasting product. It does come with a tiny plastic spoon but the spoon broke the first time I went to use it to scoop out product. If you have the same problem with the spoon breaking, a popsicle stick would retrieve product from the jar easily and wouldn't make a mess. It's much better to use something to scoop up product rather than dip your finger in the jar, I tried that and because the jar is full to the brim, it did come close to overflowing and wasting product.

The scent of this treatment is raspberry vanilla and it's the only scent that this product is available in. I honestly didn't detect the scent of raspberry or vanilla. I thought it smelled lightly of playdoh. I hope that doesn't put too many people off so let me further explain that I didn't find the smell to be bad, it was very very light and nowhere near as strong smelling as playdoh but that's the only thing I could associate it with. It didn't smell sweet like raspberries and it didn't smell warm like vanilla. Did I hate it? No. It wasn't near enough to put me off of this product because it was so light. I just wanted to mention this in case you were expecting it to smell like a delicious pastry or something. So while it doesn't smell like it's supposed to, the smell is very light and shouldn't be a deal breaker when there are so many other great pros to this product!

This product is not edible, yes it is mostly made up of sugar which should not harm you if you ingest it but when the rest of the ingredients are thrown into the picture, I wouldn't recommend ingesting it. I'm sure if you were a nail biter or accidentally had your hands by your mouth you'd be fine, just don't go scooping it on and licking it off, if it doesn't smell like raspberry vanilla I'm pretty sure the taste wouldn't be that great either!

Use the small plastic spoon that comes with the treatment to stir it up in the jar. I discovered that shaking the jar doesn't do anything and won't mix the oil with the sugar so you're better off to just give it a good stir. Scoop out the desired amount of product (start small, a little goes a long way) and massage into the area that you're applying it to. Really focus on areas that need extra care, if you're using this on your feet really rub it into your heels, for cuticles really massage this in. Once you have applied this and massaged it onto the affected area for a minimum of 30 seconds, rinse it off and pat your skin dry. Patting your skin dry leaves the oils on the surface of your skin and allows for them to sink in which I found to take about 10-15 minutes. If you find it uncomfortable you can wipe it off but if you leave it and let it absorb into your skin, you'll feel the difference because it left my skin so much softer when I let it absorb and finished it with Cake's Milk Made Velveteen hand cream!

This treatment is only available in one size and since a little goes a long way, I can see this lasting awhile. The bottle is 4.9 fluid ounces and comes in a plastic sleeve with a little plastic spoon attached. The cap twists off and the bottle comes with a foil seal that you peel back and remove to access the product. The front label reads: "Cake Milk Made smoothing hand & cuticle buffer. Indulge with this spa-like, hand buffer. Specially forumulated with sugar, milk proteins, avacado and coconut oils. This vitamin packed recipe will leave your hands and cuticles perfectly manicured and incredibly nourished!" The back of the bottle lists the directions for use and the ingredients.

The ingredients are listed as:
sugar, grape seed (vitis vinifera) oil, coconut (cocos nucifera) oil, avocado (persea gratissima) oil, sweet almond (prunus amygdalus dulcis) oil, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin e), milk amino acids, phenoxyethanol (and) caprylyl glycol (and) sorbic acid, parfum (fragrance), red 17, and violet 2.

This treatment is glycerine and paraben free. It's packed full of oils that moisturize too! Avocado oil is full of potassium and vitamins A, D & E to help repair skin damage. Grapeseed oil soothes redness and leaves skin silky. Both sweet almond oil and coconut oil smoothes and moisturizes dry skin. All of these together combined with the fine granular sugar make this a winning scrub that will not only scrub that dead skin away but leave your skin moisturized and soft to the touch!
