L'Occitane Shea Soaps Collection

My skin feels soft and smooth and the bars last for ages. A must have item for me and I don't like to use any other soap if I can help it

L'Occitane Eight Shea Soaps Collection

Traditional moisturising butter

Shea butter comes from the fruit of the shea tree, a plant indigenous to western Africa and has been harvested for many years in the region.

Harvesting the shea fruit from the shea tree involves extracting and drying the nuts, which are then ground and boiled to create beautiful shea butter.

The people of the western regions of Africa have used this precious butter to protect, nourish and moisturise their skin for many years.

An irreplaceable ingredient

L’Occitane’s shea butter range brings these same benefits to the face, hair and body in products that contain a high percentage of shea butter.

This is particularly recommended for dry and very dry skin. This amazing natural product is a universal and irreplaceable beauty care product.
