L'Occitane Almond Delicious Paste Body Scrub 200ml

Description

L’Occitane Almond Delicious Paste is a 200 ml body scrub in a jar that exfoliates the skin gently but effectively and leaves it smooth and soft. The creamy paste contains sweet almond oil, crushed almond shells and sugar crystals, and leaves a scent of fresh almonds on the skin.

What is Almond Delicious Paste?

It is the body scrub from the almond range of the French brand L’Occitane en Provence. In French it is called Pâte Délice, and the pack says it exfoliates and smooths. The brand describes the texture as rich, creamy and indulgent. The scrub is made for the whole body.

For exfoliation, L’Occitane uses two kinds of particles: crushed almond shells and sugar crystals. They remove dead cells from the surface and refine the skin’s texture. At the same time, almond butter and sweet almond oil help the skin feel nourished after the scrub.

Almond and its care

Almond is the key ingredient of the L’Occitane almond range. This scrub contains sweet almond oil, almond seed meal and almond shell powder, plus shea butter and sunflower seed oil. The brand describes the scent as a delicate, crunchy note of fresh almond. L’Occitane notes that the almonds come from the Mediterranean and are 100% traceable.

L’Occitane points out that the scrub is free from mineral oils, parabens, phenoxyethanol, phthalates and silicones.

How to use

1. Take a small amount of paste from the jar and apply it to damp skin.
2. Massage in gentle circular motions, paying extra attention to elbows, knees and heels.
3. Rinse thoroughly. In contact with water, the paste turns into a light milk.

L’Occitane recommends using it 2–3 times a week. After the scrub, your skin is ready for the next step, such as a body oil or cream. You will find more scrubs in our body scrubs category and the whole range of the brand on our L’Occitane page.
