Fir – Hand Cream

Tangent GC – Swedish care from Stockholm, pared back to the essentials: simple design, a number instead of a name, a single natural scent.

Fir is woody, resinous and green. The Siberian fir, native to the taiga east of the Volga, smells compelling where it stands: pressed between your fingertips, its needles release a balsamic wood aroma – topped by a crisp, fleeting note of pinene. The cream contains real Siberian fir oil and shea butter and is made with pure plant lipids.

Best in autumn and winter, when the cold leaves hands rough – unisex, in a handy tube for your coat pocket or bag. Organic, vegan and cruelty-free.

Why we love the Fir hand cream: it is one of our favourite small winter gifts – caring when hands need it most, with a scent of forest and first snow.
