Hero Ingredients:

Shea butter for nourishing and hydrating the skin and fresh lavender produced and prepared in Provence, France. Lavender is well-known for its mental health benefits. When inhaled, it helps to create a relaxing atmosphere and reduce anxiety by affecting the body’s fight-or-flight response. So not only will this hand cream soften dry skin, it’ll also slow racing thoughts and soothe anxiety with its fresh lavender scent.

 

What Does It Feel Like?

Super nourishing. The cream is thick in texture but it melts into the skin very quickly and softens rough skin in an instant. Using this hand cream feels like a luxurious, sensorial experience. It’s not just about how soft your hands become, it also makes you feel completely zen.

 

What Does It Smell Like?

Aromatic-floral, slightly minty, warm lavender. It smells as authentic as walking through a lavender field – an aroma that calms your body and mind.

 

How Do You Use The Product?

Massage onto clean, dry hands and make sure to work into drier areas, nails and cuticles. It absorbs into skin very quickly and doesn’t leave hands with a sticky or slippery feel.

 

What’s Special About The Design?

The tube is made from 95% recycled aluminium! Housing it in a metal tube means it’s harder to split or break after repeated force, plus it makes getting every last bit of cream out easier. I’ve been folding the top of mine over to make sure I don’t lose a single drop!

 

Values?

The hand cream is made with 96% natural origin ingredients and 99% biodegradable ingredients, proving L’Occitane’s commitment to sustainability.
