A while ago, a friend of mine gave me a sample set of the L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand and Foot creams. They came in little 10 ml tubes, which made them the perfect travel items! However, I couldn't resist and used them at home just to test them out. And here is what I think about them! I decided to make a joined review, as a lot of what I have to say is the same for both products.
Shea Butter Hand Cream:
What L'Occitane says:
Enriched with 20% Shea Butter, this super-creamy hand cream penetrates quickly to protect, nourish and moisturise hands. Honey, almond extracts and coconut oil are blended with shea butter to create this extremely effective care. The rich texture is rapidly absorbed to leave the hands soft and smooth with no oily traces.
Product: 9.5/10.
This is probably one of the best hand creams I have ever used, if not THE best one. The consistency of the cream is a bit on the thick side, however when rubbed into the skin it is absorbed instantly, leaving the hands soft but with no greasy residue. Perfection. My hands also remained very soft for hours after applying the hand cream, which meant that I did not use it that often, simply because I didn't need to! Also, a small amount of it goes a long way, and so this tiny tube has lasted me for quite a long time now! The scent is very creamy, and reminds me a bit of thick baby cream, which I personally don't mind.
