L'Occitane Celebrates 20 Years of Shea Butter!

Hello Divas!

I hope you have a fantabulous Friday!

As many of you know, L'Occitane makes my absolute favorite hand cream. Read my previous post here. I buy the travel size tubes constantly and keep them in my car, purse, and office. I also like to give them to my favorite people as gifts! This hand cream is a must for any Diva! It makes my hands so soft! L'Occitane's hand cream and several of their best selling products contain the super moisturizing ingredient Shea Butter. Shea Butter protects your skin from harsh elements; nourishes the skin; and keeps it super hydrated. It is the perfect remedy for dry skin!

L'Occitane has been purchasing pure Shea Butter for its products from Burkina Faso, Africa, for the past 20 years. But what I love and find quite fantastic, is that the company purchases the Shea Butter from three women’s cooperatives that assist 11,000 women and their families. You know I am a sucker for beauty and helping others! They get a gold star in my book!

To commemorate 20 years of using Shea Butter, L'Occitane has introduced 5 new Limited Edition Ultra Rich Body Creams that are scented with different African flowers. They are: Ylang Ylang, Rosebud, Vanilla Flower, Acacia, and Frangipani. They retail for $21 and you can purchase them online here or at any L'Occitane boutique.

Toodles!

L'Occitane Hand Creme = Beautiful Hands

Hello Divas!

I hope all is fantastic! L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream is my next gush! It is the best! I have been using this hand creme for a year now and I can truly say no other hand cream can get my hands as hydrated, smooth and soft. I wash my hands a LOT....washing dishes, changing diapers, sharing common spaces with co-workers, I really can't wash them enough. lol! So of course my hands are always dry. I massage a nickel size amount of this cream onto my hands and it instantly absorbs into my skin. My hands are non-greasy and so so soft. This hand cream is made with Shea Butter, Vitamin E, honey, and sweet almond extract. Now I must be honest. I don't particularly care for the smell of this hand cream, but it is so great I tolerate it. But fortunately, L'Occitane has a Cherry Blossom and Lavender Hand Cream. These creams have beautiful smells and they contain the same amount of Shea Butter and Vitamin E as the orginal. I always buy the mini hand cream. It is 1 fl. oz., so it fits perfectly in my make-up bag and travels easily on a flight. The mini hand cream retails for only $10.00 and you can purchase it at any L'Occitane Store or at Sephora or here at Sephora.com

Toodles!
