L'Occitane Karité Confort foot balm for dry feet 150ml

Description

L’Occitane Karité Confort foot balm is a rich, intensive 150 ml balm for dry and rough feet. The formula contains 25% shea butter, absorbs quickly and leaves the skin of the feet soft and comfortable.

What is L’Occitane Karité Confort foot balm?

It is the foot care product of the L’Occitane shea range. The tube reads “Pieds”, “Karité Confort” and “Baume Pieds Foot Balm”, and the box adds “Intensely nourishes. Helps reduce roughness”. The balm is whipped up with shea butter, omega-6 and karitene. The texture is rich, yet it absorbs fast. After water, shea butter comes first in the ingredient list and glycerin second; there are no silicones or mineral oil.

Who the balm is for

The balm is made for dry, rough and tired feet. It softens dry, cracked heels. 95% of the ingredients are of natural origin, and the product is dermatologically tested. The brand supports shea sourcing in West Africa.

How to use

1. Clean and dry your feet.
2. Take a generous amount of balm and massage it over the whole foot.
3. Massage the balm into the skin once or twice a week.

Foot mask

For more intensive care, apply a thick layer of balm to your feet, leave it on for 10 minutes and massage the excess into the skin. You can do the mask twice a week.

Three steps of foot care

The full foot care routine has three steps. First, exfoliate your feet with a scrub to remove the rough surface of the skin. Next, wash them with a moisturising shower cream. Finally, apply the foot balm, so that the shea butter reaches clean, smooth skin. L’Occitane Karité Confort foot balm is the last step of the routine.

Compare with our L’Occitane foot cream

Our range also includes the L’Occitane intensive foot cream as a separate product. We also stock a lighter L’Occitane shea product. It is the 15% shea foot cream, a cream rather than an intensive balm. L’Occitane Karité Confort foot balm is the richer 25% shea balm, and the 15% cream is the lighter one. The choice depends on your skin: if it is dry and rough and you want rich moisture, pick L’Occitane Karité Confort foot balm, and if it is only slightly dry and you prefer a lighter feel, the 15% cream fits. You can find the brand’s other products on the L’Occitane products page.
