I have only used the hand cream and it is the best hand cream I ever used. I definitely am going to try some of there other shea butter products. I hope they work just as good as the hand cream.

I like the shea butter hand balm.It is way better than c&e. But it is also way more expensive. So, not sure which one to buy. After all we do not have harsh winter in Vancouver.

I heard L'Occitane 100% Shea Butter is very good, but I was confused how to use it, it's as hard as a stone. But the shea butter handscream is good.

I love L'Occitane's hand cream. Last year I bought the shea butter ultra comforting cream for face and found it too oily for me. So I had it as hand cream to use it up and surprisingly found that it is so good for my hands. Started stocking up on it since then.

I love L'Occitane hand cream and their Lavender body lotion. Smile

I think their body stuff is better than their skincare though! Smile

I use the hand cream as I have researched it to be the best hand cream. It solved my dry skin problems during the snow season. Very Happy

I know shea butter is good for dry,sensitive skin.but it is not good for acne,oily skin type.So I use it for my body and hand especially cold winter.

Love the hand cream. Very good moisturizer. Great for winter. To bad they put parabens in it.

I tried the hand cream in store yesterday and whilst it smelled gorgeous and went on you silky after a few minutes it was actually a little sticky, both my sister and I noticed this. Did anyone else experience this or could it be that it is an old tester?

Thanks annesun, I think I will stay away from the l'occataine hand cream then, I dont like sticky. I actually havent tried the crabtree as yet but have heard many reviews, will have to stop in next time Im in the shops.

This product (like so many of l'occitanes other products) works AMAZING! This works as a great moisturizer. IT also hels my scars and prevents razor burn.

This sounds like something worth trying for my dry, sensitive skin.

The comment about it being hard like stone - is that right? Or was that a bad batch or something?

Shea butter is perfect for dry sensitive skin. About it being hard, well, it's not rock solid...think of a solid perfume. That's what it reminds me of. But, as soon as you put it in your hands, it begins to soften. L'Occitane recommends rubbing some between your hands to soften it. This works great for me. Hope this helps!

I love shea butter! My hands have always been dry and now they're soo much smoother! They're great for lips too, but I've found something else that doesn't have such a strong smell
