Description

L’Occitane Immortelle Shea Youth Hand Cream is a 75 ml serum-in-cream for the hands. It nourishes the skin and helps it look younger, more even and more supple. It combines 5% shea butter with the immortelle flower, absorbs quickly and leaves a delicate floral and fruity scent on the hands.

What is Immortelle Shea Youth Hand Cream?

It is a hand cream from the French brand L’Occitane en Provence. It brings together two of the brand’s best-known ingredients. Shea butter is known for its nourishing properties, while immortelle is a yellow flower that L’Occitane has placed at the centre of its youth skincare range for the face. The brand calls the product a serum in cream form: the texture is as light as a serum but cares for the skin like a cream.

L’Occitane points out that 97% of the ingredients are of natural origin. Alongside shea butter and immortelle, the cream contains hibiscus extract, rapeseed phytosterols and hexylresorcinol. These ingredients were chosen to help the skin of the hands look denser, firmer and brighter.

What does the cream do for your hands?

Immortelle Shea Youth Hand Cream was made to help hands look younger. According to L’Occitane, the immortelle flower technology helps the formula penetrate the skin quickly. L’Occitane describes these effects:

• fine lines look less visible;
• the skin looks more supple and denser;
• dark spots look less noticeable and the skin tone looks more even;
• hands feel nourished, soft and pleasantly scented.

The brand stresses that visible results come with regular use. According to L’Occitane, from day 28 of regular use the skin looks more even and denser.

Shea and immortelle together

L’Occitane sources its shea butter from women in Burkina Faso who harvest and process the shea nuts. Shea gives the cream its soft, nourishing feel. The immortelle flower adds the care the brand is known for in its Immortelle face range. So one tube does two jobs: a daily nourishing hand cream and care that helps hands look younger.

Texture and scent

The cream is silky and light. It spreads easily and absorbs quickly. The scent features the immortelle flower with fruity notes. The golden tube looks elegant and also makes a lovely gift.
