Designed for dry or dehydrated skin, this balm is my go-to product for this fall. I love the "Shea" line from L'Occitane en Provence, especially for the textures, which are quite thick but spread easily and absorb quickly. This body balm is no exception, it's a pleasure to dip your fingers in! We would eat it!
The formula is very rich in shea butter (25%) and moisturizes very well and for a long time. On my dry skin – especially the legs and hips – I don't need to put it on every day. I feel like my skin is deeply nourished. I put it on at night before going to bed, it doesn't stick but I couldn't see myself putting on jeans directly after. The next day, my skin is very soft. It is for me a cocooning cream. Moreover, the Shea butter balm from L'Occitane en Provence also contains softening apricot oil and moisturizing extracts of flax, marshmallow, sweet almond and honey...
As for the smell, it's quite neutral, which suits me perfectly because I don't want it to interfere with my perfume afterwards the next morning. So it's a real no-fail for this super effective moisturizing balm that I enjoy using!
