L'Occitane makes Shea Butter beautiful

Great products, incredible packaging... I'm thinking THE BEST GIFTS...

Launching October 12th is L’OCCITANE’s newest limited-edition collection, and it’s one that the brand holds close to heart:
The Limited-Edition Shea Butter Collection features packaging designed by L’OCCITANE Founder Olivier Baussan who was inspired by the traditional bogolan fabrics of Africa and the country’s indigenous flowers. Available in the below scents, the limited-edition body cream, hand cream and lip balm speak to L’Occitane’s ongoing work with the women of Burkina Faso, Africa who produce all of the Fair Trade Shea Butter used in L’Occitane products.
-       Desert Rose from Morocco is known for its generous blooms and fruity, zesty aroma, which perfumes the desolate landscape.
-       Hibiscus from Egypt delights the eyes with its brilliant colors -- from the purest white to the most passionate red. Its sensual, sunny perfume awakens the senses.
-       Cocoa Flower from the Ivory Coast has a warm, comforting scent with a delicious hint of cacao.

 Ultra Rich Body Cream: Exceptionally rich in shea butter (25%), this body cream envelops dry skin in supreme comfort and softness, leaving it deeply nourished, protected and perfectly moisturized.

Hand Cream: Shea Hand Cream, the #1 best-seller at L’OCCITANE, is rich in shea butter (20%), to protect, nourish and soften the skin.

Lip Balm: This new organic balm, made with 10% shea butter, soothes dry and chapped lips and provides gentle nourishing and protective care.

Sula Organic Shea Butter Balm

This balm works wonders on dry skin!

It also is a great lip balm.

The label even says that is can be used on hair & eyebrows-- TRUE! Totally keeps errant hairs in line.

All three varieties smell good, leave light scent.

Rosa Damascena has an airy rose scent. Real rose, not that chemical crap.

Neroli Blossom smells like a garden with orange trees.

My favorite is the Bergamot: Herbal, but not hippie. Alive & fresh.

The containers are neat little tins, very convenient for purse or pocket.

Three cheers for Sula!

Patyka 100% Organic Shea Butter

All Shea Butter!

Organic to boot.

Very nice, but it took me a few minutes to figure it out.

Little tub of solid Shea Butter, you need to scrape some out, then it melts in your hand & is ever-so softening!

I really like it for my legs!

It's Like Buttah....Shea Butter

I have a new love and it's name is L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Creme. It is totally non-greasy, absorbs quickly and is a very effective moisturizer and skin softener. Lasts through a few handwashings. Speedily transforms my parched and scratchy hands into baby's bottom soft and smooth. HIGHLY recommend. (And don't let the price tag deter you - it lasts a good long while.)
