Austin Austin
Cedar & Patchouli Hand Cream
A botanical symphony of hydration and scent, wrapped in artful imagination.
The hand cream is a lush alchemy of botanical extracts—plants, grasses, seaweed, and algae, designed to cocoon the skin in deep hydration and silken protection. Its scent is a refined play of contrasts: the smoky, grounded richness of cedar and patchouli lifted by the bright, peppered elegance of geranium and coriander.
Adorning the tube is Magic Hand by Rubenstein, an artwork that nods to shadow puppetry and the alluring ways perception can blur into something dreamlike and diaphanous.
50 ml
Formulated without GM ingredients, SLS, silicones, parabens, mineral oils, or synthetic colours and fragrances, the hand cream and balm are both certified organic and vegan. The chic tube is made from 40% recycled material, fully recyclable, and infused with a pioneering bio-enzyme. This ensures the packaging gracefully breaks down within 1–4 years, leaving no microplastics behind.

Austin Austin was founded by daughter and father from Norfolk, Bessie and Richard Austin.
Richard has worked with Organics since the 70’s and is also founder of Rainbow Wholefoods and Kingfisher Natural Toothpaste. Bessie grew up eating Organic food and using natural products. Before Austin Austin she worked in design and advertising.
As a family run business we are committed to making these products as good as they can be and we undertake almost every process close to home in East Anglia. We want every bottle of Austin Austin to be of exquisite quality, to be a canvas for artwork on the bathroom shelf and to be priced in a way that ensures that our products don’t become too precious to be properly enjoyed every day.
All Austin Austin products are certified Organic by the Soil Association to full COSMOS standards. Our bottles are made from 100% recycled material and our boxes from sustainably managed forests. All of the packaging used is recyclable.
Austin Austin products are all vegan (apart from our body cream which uses a small amount of beeswax) and they do not contain any GM ingredients, SLS, silicones, parabens, mineral oils, artificial colours or fragrances.
