Rich in fatty acids and unsaponifiable, Shea Butter is an ideal beauty ingredient which has been used for centuries by women in Sub-Saharan Africa to nourish and protect their skin and hair. The international success of L'Occitane's shea butter products can be shared with several thousand Burkinabé women, who are committed to developing a sustainable, fair trade shea butter supply chain.  

The Ultra Rich Comforting Cream, with its creamy and melting texture, is formulated with a high concentration of shea butter (25%) to answer the essential needs of dry to very dry skin, including sensitive skin types. Lastingly moisturized (72h)**, skin is supple, soft and feeling of tightness is reduced. As protected against external aggressions, it stays comfortable all day long. Tested in extreme climatic conditions with significant hydration effectiveness.In Burkina Faso, women produce shea butter by hand. While one might expect this technique to weaken and damage the skin, in reality it leaves it incredibly soft. L'OCCITANE discovered that the shea butter produced in Burkina Faso using traditional methods is particularly rich in omega 6 and karitene. These molecules have exceptional properties and help to moisturize, nourish and give extra protection to the skin every day.
