L’occitane are a French company based in Provence.
They do not test on animals or use any animal ingredients in their products.
They specialise in using natural herbs and plants in their product.
The shea butter range is rich and moisturising and very good for dry sensitive skins.
Shea butter is an oil from a nut that grows in Africa. It is an excellent moisturiser and is the main active ingredient in the handcream.
This is a rich handcream and is very moisturising.
It comes in a metal tube, which looks modern and stylish.
It is quite a thick white cream and is concentrated, so you only need to squeeze out about 1/2 an inch to treat your hands.
It does not have a strong perfume.
It does take a minute or two to rub in, but the results are worth it.
It keeps my hands soft and supple even though I have a lot of housework to do everyday.
Because shea butter is very natural, it is unlikely to cause excema and other skin rashes.
I do not know how available it is in the shops.
But it can be bought online from L’Occitane at https://loccitane.net
