Our Workman's Friend Healing Hand Cream contains a combination of healing herbs, including comfrey, allantoin, Vitamin E, and calendula. Together these natural ingredients are known for their healing and anti-inflammatory properties. Our soothing hand cream goes on smoothly and can be used daily as a moisturizer or as a restorative cream for damaged and cracked hands. Whether you work in the construction industry where the skin on your hands takes a regular beating, or you enjoy spending your weekends working on restoring antique furniture Workman’s Friend Healing Hand Cream has been designed for you. Available in a 2.5 oz. container, our fragrance-free cream is non-greasy. Our formulation is designed to work as hard as you do.
After listening to customer feedback, we created Workman’s Friend Hand Cleaner with Activated Charcoal. From automotive grease to garden soil, there are many ways to get your hands dirty. We’ve seen them all. That’s why we created this hand cleaner. Our petroleum-free formulation contains high-graded pumice. This naturally occurring ingredient can clean caked-on dirt and grime from your hands using a gentle abrasive action. The activated charcoal removes any unpleasant odor associated with your dirty hands, while the infused plant oils, including aloe leaf juice, soothe the exfoliated skin. The result is clean hands with no proof of your hard work. Available in a pump bottle, our 8oz formulation will quickly become your go-to cleaner for all of your hand’s dirtiest messes.
Now our loyal Workman’s Friend customers have three high-quality products to choose from, all of them designed to clean and protect your hands so you can get back to what you love to do.

My 1953 Chevy 3100 Truck Restoration propels forward with a 12V Conversion project. We traced all the wires, replaced burned up wires and took off all unnecessary potential battery drains. We also removed the generator and replaced it with a 12 V alternator, completing an unfinished conversion the first owner had started from the 6V system. Spoiler alert, IT WORKED! We now are able to start, run, and even DRIVE the truck for short distances. Next up will be a brake conversion and adjusting the gear shift. Stay tuned! This has been such a fun car restoration project, I absolutely love the Chevy advance design, and cannot wait to be cruising around town in my rebuilt farm truck. This project is very meaningful to me because it was something my grandfather and I always planned to do together, but the fact that I still get to do it in his memory is very special indeed.

ABOUT THE EPISODE
We all want a timeless look that will look fantastic for a long time, so today let's talk about what you can do to create a look that transcends time.
One of the best tips is to avoid trends that can date your home. If something is super hot and super popular today, it probably won't stand the test of time.
We suggest you hone your very own signature style that you love. Then you buy things that are you, rather than things that are 'on trend'. This is change in mindset that helps keep your style more classic and less trendy.
Listen in for many more tips for a timeless look.

The article discusses how the Baizan family started the business and how they continue to produce innovative products and cater to independents. Here's an excerpt about one of their innovative products, Workman's Friend:
]]>"One product that was developed based on information gained from interacting directly with customers is the Workman’s Friend skin care line."
“Our Workman’s Friend line was designed to work as hard as our customers do. We learned that our customers work exposed their skin to harsh conditions, so we delivered a flexible solution,” Mares says.
“From our Barrier Skin Cream that protects and moisturizes, to a deep-cleaning hand cleaner, to our Healing Hand Cream that helps rejuvenate your hands, our formulations are directed specifically to make your life as easy as possible when it comes to preventing, preserving and cleaning your skin.”
Checkout Kelly's gardening video above and read her blog post about her experience with Workman's Friend. Here's a sneak peak
"While digging and pruning, I also had an opportunity to try out a product new to me. It is now an essential tool in my gardening.
Naturally, I wanted to share it with you. The product is Workman’s Friend. It is terrific for so many reasons... Certain you will decide to never garden without it too!"

Thank you to Missy for reviewing our product and including it her 2019 Father's Day Gift Guide!
I feel this is perfect for dad this Father’s Day as you know men typically have rough hands especially if they were a blue-collar job such as a mechanic, laborer, concrete worker, and more. This helps smooth dad’s hands and make them feel soft.

Buchanan's Native Plants recently hosted our R&D Manager and Lead Chemist, Mark “Merriwether” Vorderbruggen, Ph.D.
Mark led a discussion on edible plants you can grow right in your backyard. Afterward, he handed out samples of Workman's Friend Barrier Skin Cream to all who attended.
Remember, with one application of our barrier skin cream your hands will stay protected against dirt, grease, and grime for up to 4 hours!
My husband treats his motorcycle like, well, pretty much the same as every other man out there with one...a baby. After every ride he wipes it down and covers it as soon as it's cooled off. He does pretty much everything he can to keep it as clean as the day he brought it home. And that includes when he's working on it. And thanks to his new "friend" he can make cleaning up himself a little easier too...

Watch the video above for more or click on the links below
From Mark: "I love this mirror so much that I've decided to redecorate my entire bathroom around it. The nice thing about this project is that you can make it in any size you want. Just have the pieces cut to size and glue them together with E6000 Plus. I got super messy painting this frame so I tried something new called Workman's Friend Superior Barrier Skin Cream which protects your hands from paint and glue. Just put it on like lotion (it does make your hands super soft) and when you're done getting messy, the paint washes right off! Get creative and get your hands dirty, my friends, and don't forget to Make Your Mark!"
This week we hosted a Workman's Friend Paint Party at The Rustic Brush! Everyone was sure to use our barrier skin cream before beginning their projects and they loved how the paint and stain washed right off their hands when they were done.
Thank you to all who joined in on the fun and to Escalante's Fine Tex-Mex for catering our event.
