Apologies for not posting any product reviews for the past 2 weeks,
alas I was caught in the "thick" of the civil unrest here in South Africa.
Anyway I'm back and picking up where I left off with my "Sunday Review"
on the L'Occitane Shea Ultra Rich Body Lotion.
As with any product containing Shea Butter you immediately know that it's
going to be nourishing and moisturising for the skin and L'Occitane are
without doubt the experts when it comes to "all things Shea" as they've
been at it since 1980, when L'OCCITANE started up a fair and
sustainable partnership with the women of Burkina Faso.
At first, there were around 100 women. Now there are over 10,000,
working to develop the shea butter supply chain.
Shea butter is at the core of their product line-up and their best selling
Shea Hand Cream is perhaps the most well known Shea product in the world.
L'Occitane have a vast selection of products for both face & body, within
their Shea Collection and in order to make it easier for you decide which
Shea product is right for you they have included the % of Shea Butter
inside the blue circle on the front of each and every Shea product.
The higher the %, the more concentrated the product has of Shea Butter
and therefore better suited to very dry skins.
The percentages in their Shea collection range from 10% to 100%.
The Rich Body Lotion contains (15%) organic shea butter and calendula,
the Rich Body Lotion nourishes and instantly brings comfort to dry skin.
It leaves the skin lastingly hydrated for up to 48 hours after application.
Its fluid formula helps soothe feelings of tightness, offering day after day
protection against skin dryness.
It has that distinctive "Shea" soft clean fragrance and I found it to be ideal
for my skin during winter, but for drier skins you may have to opt for
the Ultra Rich Body Cream (25%) or in severe cases the
Shea Melting Butter which contains a whopping
70% Shea Butter to combat extreme dryness.
In cold months, or when skin is especially dry or flaky, you can
combine the use of the Shea Rich Body Lotion
in the morning and Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream at night.
As always L'Occitane rarely disappoints and you cannot go wrong
with this product for everyday moisturising body care.
