L’Occitane Shea Shower Cream

Nourish and hydrate your skin as you cleanse with the L’Occitane Shea Shower Cream, a moisturising body wash with 5% shea butter that helps revive dry skin – and can even double up as a shampoo.

L’Occitane’s divine shower cream feels luxurious. Packed with ultra-nourishing ingredients, it leaves even the most parched, dry and thirsty skin feeling thoroughly hydrated and refreshed. The detergent-free cream is particularly soothing for dehydrated skin, which has been dried out by daily aggressors such as air conditioning or central heating.

As the shower cream washes away dirt and impurities, it helps moisturise the skin using an impressive 5% shea butter content, which has been ethically sourced from Burkina Faso. A natural wonder, shea nuts have been used by the people of Burkina Faso for years, helping to protect their skin from hot, drying Saharan winds.

This deeply conditioning body wash has another handy use as it doubles up as a shampoo; the soy proteins that lace the formula help strengthen both skin and hair. While enveloping your skin in moisture, the multipurpose shower cream also leaves hair feeling silky soft and enviably glossy.

The hair and body wash has a natural foaming base made from creamy coconut, allowing the cream to transform into a thick, luxurious lather that releases a delicate scent to ease your worries.

Why We Love It

L’Occitane often prioritise sourcing their produce from Provence, France, as this is the birthplace of the brand. But when it comes to shea butter, they make an exception; the women of Burkina Faso have been using Shea Butter to nourish and protect hair and skin for centuries. So, L’Occitane has partnered with the women of Burkina Faso to create a sustainable, fair-trade supply chain to ensure the highest quality produce infuses the range of shea products, while helping to empower women in this area.

L’Occitane pay attention to detail in everything they do. In terms of the practicality of the design, we also love that their Shea Shower Cream has a handy squeeze bottle that’s easy to hold with slippery hands. Another bonus? The shape means that it’s easy to decant the cream into travel-sized containers, so you can take this body wash-shampoo hybrid with you for trips away.

How To Use It

Squeeze a generous dollop of the shower cream into the palm of your hand and massage it over wet skin until it produces a thick, indulgent lather. Rinse off after use. The shower cream can also be used to wash hair.
