I like that it fits into my pen holder, and I like that it applies with a can\u2019t-mess-it-up brush tip. With its unique blend of vegan, cruelty-free, organic essential oils, including the healing combination of myrrh and grapeseed, it\u2019s a must-have to keep within reach at all times. And, if not for super hydrated cuticles, it\u2019s a great midday activity to keep your hands occupied in-between emails.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively and rather luxuriously, I also like\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hermes.com\/hk\/en\/product\/nourishing-oil-V60299HV0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hermes&#8217; nourishing oil<\/a><\/strong>.
