Buttery Perfection

  As the days become shorter, the wind more biting, and the ground begins to frost, it's likely that your skin is feeling the effects.  In my case, I always notice that my lips, cuticles, and hands are lacking some serious moisture - until now!  I've started using L'Occitane's pure shea butter, and it is absolutely fantastic.  The directions indicate to "melt into your hands", but I've been applying it to my cuticles and lips too... all over moisture!  My favourite aspect of this product is that the only ingredient is shea butter - no preservatives, no artificial fragrance, nothing.  Pure, simple, soothing perfection. 
  Shea butter is sourced from West and Central Africa.  It's a fatty substance that is generated from the nuts of the Karite tree.  Its high fatty acid content accounts for its ability to moisturize so effectively, but it also contains Vitamins E and A, both essential vitamins which are thought to have anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory properties and also to be involved in cell turnover and protection.
  L'Occitane en Provence is a French company that has been socially conscious since it was founded in 1976.  They are kind to the environment, promote sustainable development, organic products, and support of the culture and economy from which their ingredients are sourced.
