L'Occitane Shea Ultra Rich Face Cream 50ml

Description

Shea Ultra Rich Face Cream is a rich L’Occitane face cream in a 50 ml glass jar, made with 25% shea butter. It is made for dry, very dry and sensitive skin and brings instant comfort. Your skin stays nourished for up to 48 hours after use, and the cream helps protect it from harsh cold.

What is the Shea Ultra Rich Face Cream?

This is the face cream in L’Occitane‘s shea butter range made to nourish dry skin. It is an ultra-concentrated, universal cream that melts into the skin. At its heart is shea butter from Burkina Faso in West Africa. There, local women produce it by hand using traditional methods. The shea butter is organic and fair trade. 95% of the formula’s ingredients are of natural origin.

The cream comes in a heavy glass jar with a silver lid, so it looks good on any bathroom shelf. The label carries the range’s well-known seal showing the share of shea butter. The cream is made in Manosque, Provence, France.

What it does for your skin

Shea butter is naturally rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and in karitene. These help nourish and protect the skin and instantly soothe sensitive skin. Your skin feels stronger and better protected against external stress such as harsh cold. Glycerin helps hold moisture, keeping the skin soft and supple. Tapioca starch gives a finish that does not leave a greasy shine. The result is a smooth, calm and cared-for complexion without a heavy feel.

Who it is for

The Shea Ultra Rich Face Cream is made first and foremost for dry, very dry and sensitive skin. The cream is especially welcome in autumn and winter, when wind, frost and dry indoor air leave skin feeling tight. It is also a good choice when your skin needs extra nourishment after a long day outdoors. The cream has been tested on children as well and can be used from the age of three. One jar can therefore serve the whole family. For lighter textures, browse our face cream range.

How to use

1. Use the cream morning and evening after cleansing and applying your serum.
2. Take a small amount and warm it in your palm for a moment so it spreads more easily.
3. Apply it to your face, starting from the centre and moving up towards the forehead.
4. Smooth the rest over your neck and décolletage.

In the evening the cream is the last step of your routine. In the morning it is followed by sun protection and, if you like, makeup. In winter you can also apply it to your cheeks and nose before going outside, since they dry out fastest in the cold. That keeps your skin comfortable and soft all day. The Shea Ultra Rich Face Cream suits everyday care throughout the winter.

Texture and feel

In the jar the Shea Ultra Rich Face Cream is dense and buttery, but it softens quickly in the warmth of your palm. On the skin it melts into a thin layer that wraps your face in comfort. Thanks to the tapioca powder, the finish stays velvety soft. You only need a small amount each time, so the 50 ml jar lasts a long while. In the morning it gives your skin a comfortable base, and in the evening a nourishing end to your routine.
