If you’ve visited Swatch And Learn this month, you’re probably well-aware of my love (and obsession) with Vanilla Bean Noel, a Bath and Body Works Holiday Traditions scent.
Today I’m reviewing the Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Lotion (HandiBac) to continue with my little series in which I review almost every single product available in the Vanilla Bean Noel line.
How does the HandiBac perform? Do I like it? There’s only one way to find out.

Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Lotion (HandiBac) Review
Since the weather’s getting colder, I like to carry around hand lotion in my purse. And I also take along a little bottle of antibacterial gel for those times I’m out and can’t wash my hands but want to. So when I saw the Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Anti-Bacterial Moisturizing Hand Lotion (HandiBac), I gave it a go.
Totally love how this is a practical 2-in-1 product. Instead of having to sanitize and then moisturize my hands, I can do it in a single shot. Plus have you smelled Vanilla Noel Bean? It’s divine!
The scent is true to the other Vanilla Bean Noel Bath and Body Works products. It smells like caramel, vanilla, cake batter, sugar cookies, and marshmallows. But the HandiBac is milder than that of the Shower Gel. On me, the fragrance is strongest when I initially put it on, and then it fades within a few minutes.
What I really appreciate about the Bath & Body Works HandiBac is that it doesn’t leave my hands feeling greasy like a lot of other hand lotions do. I rub this in, and it absorbs very well and doesn’t feel like I have a glove of lotion on. I can use this and then use my keyboard without worrying about leaving a film.
The lotion contains small beads that burst and disappear when you rub this into your skin.

Final Verdict: 8.5/10
I recommend the Bath and Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Antibacterial Moisturizing Hand Lotion (HandiBac) if you use lotion and antibacterial gel but want a single product that moisturizes and disinfects.
But if you want to fully experience the Vanilla Bean Noel fragrance, you’re better off getting the Shower Gel or the Triple Moisturize Body Cream from the line instead.
What’s your favorite hand lotion? Are you a fan of Bath & Body Works?
