Anyone remember this hand cream/jelly?

My granny used a hand cream that was more like an opaque watery jelly, that absorbed really quickly and wasn't greasy. It came in a short fat clear glass jar with a gold lid and had a faint lemon smell. I recall seeing it still in the shops in the 1990s.

Can anyone remember what it was called?

Might it have been CREMOLIA? It was a nice smell and definitely not greasy. I haven't seen it for some years now and used to buy it in Boots.

Ooo Mrs L you are a marvel! That's it exactly and best of all Boots still do it - I've just ordered some
Thanks very much!

Oh, Cremola. I'd forgotten that. My grandmother used it - about the only thing apart from Lavender Water she ever used to enhance her beautiful, wrinkled self.

Oh heavens! I thought I was the only person who remembered this. I smelled a product a couple of years ago (can't remember what it was now) and it took me right back to this cream. It smelled exactly the same. Nobody around or at work had a clue what I was talking about. I can even see the label

Thanks for the memory trip, made me think about my lovely gran

Monnagran my granny was the same but the lavender water was always dabbed on with a hanky if anyone was feverish or had a headache! Her handbag also had Tyrozets in which I still buy to this day if anyone has a sore throat. It's funny how as I get older, I find things from my childhood are now my favourites.

Aww my mam used to use this, it brings back memories. I loved the smell of it. I might have to make a trip to boots at the weekend.

I remember it as we used to sell it when I was a Saturday girl in Woolworths.
My Nan always used 'Nulon'. I used to use it too, but haven't seen it locally in ages.
