According to L'Occitane, Shea Butter is known in the Dioula language of west Africa as karité (life).
One of their most enduring and popular ranges, this buttery moisturiser is produced from the fruit of African Shea trees.
To me it signifies all that L'Occitane is about. Pure and natural it sinks into your skin leaving it feeling silky smooth and ultra nourished. Plus the metallic packaging is super gorgeous!
I've long been a fan of the hand cream, but I was saying yesterday I couldn't resist a purchase beag of the shea butter shampoo, conditioner and mask when I saw them on StrawberryNET the other day. I just KNOW they're going to be so good for my poor parched gruaig.

There are so many gorgeous goodies in the range - foot creams, face and body moisturisers, cleansers, handwashes, soaps, mens products - and of course the little tin of pure Shea Butter.
Here's some science from L'Occitane about this magical ingredient. It's "celebrated world-wide for encouraging cellular renewal and repairing the hydrolipidic film, thereby softening, soothing and comforting skin".
And even better - L'Occitane sources the raw ingredients from women's Shea processing collectives in western Africa that support economic recovery and a heritage of natural harvesting traditions. What's not to like? Get the Shea Butter habit!
