Shea Butter is an ideal beauty ingredient which has been used for centuries by women in Sub-Saharan Africa to nourish & protect their skin & hair. L' Occitane works directly with women's Shea-processing collectives in western Africa, supporting economic recovery & a heritage of natural harvesting methods. This face oil nourishes & repairs even the driest & most sensitive skin. Enriched with Shea (5%) & marula oils & with nourishing & antioxidant properties, its 100% natural formula helps the skin to repair by strengthening its barrier function. To use: Use alone or combined with your usual moisturiser day & night. Warm a few drops of oil in the palm of your hands & apply onto the face, neck & decollete. Evening application is particularly beneficial as skin repair is most active during the night.
