My winter skincare best friend!

I love how thick she is. The texture is so rich and does not let me down! My skin lately has been taking a beating due to the harsh winter weather. It has given my skin so much relief, it’s not even funny. I get a lot of cracking/dry skin. It does have a scent to it, but I find it most divine (usually I’m’ not a scented type gal). She lathers on smooth and absorbs fairly quickly into your skin. One of my favourite lotions to date. You will not be dissapointed!

A moisturizing non greasy balm.

The balm is a very rich and moisturizing balm. This works well on dry and cracked hands and I also used it on the heals of my feet. The formula isn't greasy which I appreciate and absorbs quickly. My only objection was the scent. I will continue to use on my feet but I don't think I would use it on my hands for that reason.

A Must-Have for Dry Skin Relief

I have always had always fought painfully dry, cracked skin on my hands. It gets so bad that sometimes it even bleeds. Creams, moisturizers, ointments - no matter how many products I tried, nothing seemed to fully heal or protect my skin - until I found L’Occitane’s Shea Butter Intensive Hand Balm. It has done what no other product has come even close to doing.
The painful, bleeding hands of my past are just that, in the past.

The difference was immediately apparent upon first use. The balm has a rich, creamy texture that absorbs quickly and leaves my hands feeling soft, but not greasy. A little goes a long way, and I noticed compounding improvemenrs with each use. With short-term consistent use, my hands felt dramatically smoother and more nourished. With consistent seasonal use, their appearance is brighter and healthier looking, too, having completely healed the chronic cracks and dryness that worsen during the colder months, but that were always a problem.

While it does have a slight fragrance, the scent is natural, soft and subtle, and does not feel at all potent or overpowering.

I use this balm year-round to combat the problem dryness I had previously and keep my hands in the best shape they can be, which I credit entirely to the discovery of this product in the first place. It is both an amazing acute and preventative treatment for dry hands (and elbows!)

Additionally, I love that L’Occitane as a brand employs responsible sourcing of their products, commits to sustainable practices, and is dedicated to reducing its environmental footprint.

10/10 would always recommend. It heals, protects, and maintains healthy hands. It is effective, luxurious, and soothing, making it a permanent staple in my routine. I think it males a great gigt, too! Whether the dryness is from the winter weather, or any of the many other stressors put on hands on a regular basis—this hand balm is an absolute must!

Dry winter Hands No More!

I’m currently pregnant and my hands always seem to be extra sensitive during pregnancy. My hands have been breaking out with eczema rashes/patches and nothing seems to help heal the dry skin- it’s a constant battle. This has been helping so much. You can use it as a hand mask by layering it on thicker than usual or you can apply the smallest dab to keep your hands looking their best. I’ve been applying it a couple times a day and once or twice a week layering it on thicker than usual at bedtime for extra nourishment- it really seems to be helping!

Hands Down, the Ultimate Winter Rescue!

I’ve been using the Shea Butter Intensive Hand Balm for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. It’s super rich but absorbs quickly, leaving my hands feeling soft without any greasy residue. The scent is subtle and comforting, which I love. It’s been a lifesaver this winter—my dry, cracked hands are finally smooth and hydrated. A little goes a long way, so the tube lasts forever. Highly recommend if you’re looking for deep hydration!

Great for Canadian Winters!

My hands are dry and cracked from working outside and within two days of using the hand balm my hands were noticeably smoother. It's not greasy and lasts for hours. This is my new go to hand cream.

L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Balm & Ultra Rich Body Cream , Hands often bear the brunt of our busy lives, facing cold weather, constant washing, and environmental stressors that lead to dryness and discomfort. Caring for them isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential. That’s where the **Protecting & Repairing Shea Butter Intensive Hand Balm** truly shines.

Formulated for the whole family (ages three and up), this rich balm is a must-have for healthy, nourished skin. Its high concentration of **shea butter (25%)** works wonders, deeply moisturizing and creating a protective barrier to shield hands from harsh elements like cold weather and water exposure. Each application leaves your hands feeling instantly soothed and comforted, with a velvety softness you’ll want to experience again and again.

The luxurious texture is rich but never greasy, absorbing beautifully to provide lasting hydration. It’s a simple step that makes a big difference—whether you’re braving the winter chill, doing household chores, or simply giving your hands the care they deserve.

Investing in a hand cream like this isn’t just about appearances; it’s about nurturing your skin and preventing long-term damage. Soft, cared-for hands not only feel good but also speak volumes about self-care and well-being. This balm isn’t just a product—it’s a reminder to pause, care, and protect the hands that do so much for us every day.

Thick and nourishing yet not greasy!

I’m already a fan of @loccitane hand creams and have one in my purse at all times. It was nice trying out this Hand Balm to compare to their hand creams.

The L’occitane Protecting & Repairing Shea Butter Intensive Hand Balm was formulated to be used by the whole family (ages three and up). It has a high concentration of shea butter at 25% compared to their regular hand cream which has 5% shea butter. It is a rich balm that truly nourishes and moisturizes the skin without leaving it greasy. I also love the fragrance of this balm. Because it’s so thick, I find it hard to squeeze product out of the aluminum tube but then again, maybe I just have weak hands 😂. This balm has definitely been a part of my nightly bed time routine!

Obsessed with this hand cream!

I Love how rich and creamy the texture is, it truly is moisturizing and has a mild scent. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy at all like some hand creams do. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and smooth
