Tested for you: Hand cream stick âIntense Hand Balmâ from Queen of Green
A hand cream in stick form is something different. But can it also deliver what âQueen of Greenâ promises? It is supposed to provide intensive care, smooth the skin and even reduce pigmentation spots. It is undisputed that the hand cream and all other products in the âgreenâ collection are plastic-free and vegan.
All sticks are packaged in cardboard sleeves instead of plastic. âPlastic used to be a very innovative, great material – in the 1970s. However, in terms of climate protection and climate change, we now need more environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives,â says âQueen of Greenâ founder Julia Schauer.
Stick made from certified cardboard
The sturdy sleeves in their collection are therefore made from FSC-certified cardboard, which is not only 100% plastic-free, but also 100% biodegradable. This means that the cardboard completely decomposes in compost after around six weeks. The outside of the sticks are printed in a modern floral design using environmentally friendly soy ink. The surface has a silky-matt feel thanks to the fine layer of corn starch with which it is coated.
âIf you already love my shell, my inner values will really blow you away.â Queen of Green
Hand cream in a practical stick
It does feel a little strange at first to run a stick over the back of your hand instead of squeezing cream out of a tube. But the contents are really convincing. The texture is pleasantly creamy and spreads easily. It also exudes a naturally delicate fragrance. It covers the skin like a protective glove and nourishes it with jojoba oil and calendula. Brown algae extract smoothes the skin and has an antioxidant effect, while hyaluronic acid visually plumps up the skin. Tropical pracaxi oil is also said to reduce pigmentation spots.

The names are the program
The products in the âQueen of Greenâ collection all have promising names. The hand cream stick, for example, is called âAgeless Aliceâ. âHelpfull Helenaâ is a stick for rough areas of the body, while the lip balms are called âRosy Rosalieâ (tinted balm) and âCaring Carolineâ (intense lip balm). For the night, there is âSleepy Sophieâ. Anyone wondering what a lip night cream is good for? It provides particularly intensive care and regenerates. Small wrinkles are visually plumped up with natural hyaluronic acid and – incidentally – âSleepy Sophieâ also has a pleasantly soothing lavender scent.… weiterlesen

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
