description

Enriched with shea butter and P.D.O. (Protected Designation of Origin) lavender essential oil from Haute-Provence, this smooth, light-textured cream gently helps to nourish the hands and leaves skin pleasantly scented. LAVENDER. Fields of blue gold lavender grow around Provence, their relaxing scent bursts into the air as you walk through them. One of the first flowers distilled by Olivier Baussan, the founder of L’OCCITANE, the range gives you many ways of bringing lavender into the home.

I got this as a gift from a friend who worked at L'Occitane, and I'm not sure I would ever buy this after trying it. It's more like a gel than a cream, and it's just not moisturizing enough. I'm...

Let me first say that I love L'Occitane's 20% shea butter hand cream, despite the metal tube and the tiny cap meant only for dollhands. I bought the lavender version as part of a set of minis to...

I LOVE this hand cream! I live in a very dry climate, and have to use hand cream multiple times during the day in the winter to keep skin from cracking. I have been using L'Occitane's lavender...

I swear, I have the world's dryest hands. As a matter of fact, they are so dry currently (& all winter long) that they split & bleed. It doesn't help that I'm a total germ-a-phobe & wash my hands...

The pros: I like the light smell of this cream. It made me think of the Burt's Bees hand cream, only this is a much lighter, better smell, great for using at night when you are going to bed....

this seemed a little runny to me, which i hate....however it did moisturize quite well and the lavender scent is soothing.

This is definitely less moisturizing than the Original shea hand creme, since it has 5% shea butter instead of the 20% found in the original formula. I like it though because it has the lavender...

This is a really over-rated product imo...the scent is too strong and not to my taste, which is strange since I usually like the smell of lavender (?!). It's not a very moisturising cream either. I...

This hand cream is overscented and not very good for severely dry hands.

Yum. This stuff smells so nice, I think it is aromatherapy. In winter, or when I remember, I put this on my hands right before bed and I swear it relaxes me and helps me sleep. I like the...

The lavender scent is very nice but it hardly moisture the hands. The texture is light and non-greasy. I would prefer the Shea Butter one instead.

Smells really nice, but it hardly moisturizes at all... it's more like a creamy gel and leaves hands smooth but dry. Skip it and get the original shea butter hand cream.

I received this as a gift, and now I'm a fan! I really like the way the lotion disappears into my skin. Not too greasy and not too dry. It smells strong at first. It's like a little luxury :)

This is nice. I wish this was a bit thicker and more moisturizing, but I like it. It is overpriced for what it is, but the lavender scent is special enough that I would purchase again.
