description

This iconic cream is truly unmatched. Each tube is enriched with 20% Shea Butter, as well as a blend of almond, honey, and coconut oil for added nourishment. Jasmine and ylang-ylang means fans smell like heaven after. The cream itself is absorbed rapidly, leaving them feeling soft and cloud-smooth with no oily traces.

This cream, "cured" my red, chapped knuckles overnight. It is greasy at first but I use just a little bit and keep rubbing, then, wipe my palms on a washcloth. Unfortunately, it's so darn expensive...

This is the best hand cream I've ever used. The texture is thick but spreads easily, it absorbs completely (unless you put on a colossal amount...), and the scent is nice too. It's also great for...

The scent is quite nice, but it is SO greasy! I can't just put it on my hands and run out of the house--I have to strategically plan putting on the hand cream so it doesn't interfere with putting...

I absolutely ADORE the 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream from L'Occitane. I first discovered it about 3 years ago while visiting Boulder and was hooked. Alas, at that time, there was no store in Atlanta...

This is a VERY French product - consistency of creme fraiche and perfumed. I'd say it was the best hand cream I've ever used, except it smells like perfume (also a very French thing). I'm allergic...

A good hand cream -- very rich and thick. Can be a little sticky and takes effort to rub in. Moisturized feel lasts a long time. I don't care for the scent, but it is light enough to tolerate. I...

The only thing my hubby will use on his dry hands in the winter time! We love it! I use it before going to bed on my hands. Really thick and creamy, yet absorbs no problem. Love it! Great...

I find the consistency a bit thick when I squeeze it out of the tube but once it's finally absorbed into the skin, it makes it very smooth. I mainly use it at night b/c I don't have the time in...

This is a fairly high-quality product, but then you'd expect that from the price. I am lucky enough that visitors to Manhattan will often buy me L'Occitane products as gifts in return for crashing...

L'occitane en Provence is an expensive French luxury brand. And from what I hear they're famous for this hand cream. I hate the smell of L'occitane Shea Butter too. Smells like burnt caramel +...

I do not know why people are crazy with the hand cream. Yes, it is moisturizing but it is sticky as well. Moreover, my hands feels better when using Ahava which is as well moisturizing as this.

At first this lotion didn't feel that fab a few hours later my hands were as soft as can be! It's definately a perfect winter weather lotion!

Apply the tiniest amount and you're good for a few hours. It feels thick at first but sinks in nicely, ie if your hands are really on the dry side. Don't buy it if your hands aren't dry - it's...

I love this. It's the only thing that works on my skin in a dry, desert winter. Love the smell, especially at night.
