A staple handcream for years because it’s fabulous
I’ve been using a version of the Intense 25% Shea Butter hand cream from L’Occitane for over 20 years since discovering the boutique on Bloor Street in Toronto in my university days. It’s a beloved classic for good reason. It has a pleasant scent that dissipates quickly and the cream itself absorbs quickly without a heavy or greasy residue. A little bit goes a long away, I really only need a pea-sized amount for my hands, cuticles and I rub any excess on my elbows. There’s a slighter lighter hand cream formulation with 20% Shea that was released a few years ago but I prefer this one with higher Shea butter content because it feels more moisturizing, luxurious and is perfect for dry winter skin. The aluminum tube can get lumpy and difficult to manage as the product gets used, which is why they released a key to roll the tube and get every last bit of this cream out. (Key is sold seperately.) Thanks L’Occitane Canada for sending me this cream free to review. I had run out so the timing was perfect!

Such a luxury treatment for dry hands
L'Occitane Shea Butter Intensive Hand Balm is such a saver for sensitive skin. I often get cracked and dry skin, but during cold winter months it is even worse. Designed to repair and treat dry hands, this balm provides a powerful care to get soft and nourished skin. I like its thick and creamy texture and love how quickly it absorbs, leaving my hands naturally soft and tender. And it doesn't wash away easily when I do chores or work. The balm is enriched with shea butter making it an intense hand cream to treat hands, it is thick but non greasy. I like the smell, it is not strong but rather pleasant and natural. Now it is an essential product in my daily routine! "Product gifted by L'Occitane Canada"

Your Winter Hand Hero
I love L'Occitane products, one of my favourite hand cream is the Almond Delicious Hands and when I heard about this release I was super excited, the ingredient list is really good, the Shea butter is the second ingredient of the list! I really like is not greasy at all yet is super emollient. It leaves my hands super soft and nourished. For intensive results I wash my hands, I apply aloe vera gel and then I lock all that moisture inside with this cream and next day my hands are soft as silk, I'm so grateful I was able to try it.

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. *I received this product free to try*

Rich Hydration for Dry, Winter-Worn Hands
This hand balm is a savior for dry, cracked hands, especially in colder months. Its thick, creamy texture feels rich but absorbs well, leaving no greasy residue. After just a few uses, my skin felt noticeably softer and protected, even during harsh winter days. The subtle, comforting scent adds to the experience, making it a joy to use daily. It’s perfect for nourishing hands that need extra care and moisture. A small amount goes a long way, and the lasting hydration makes it a staple for dry skin care routines.

Absolute must-have! Game-changer!
I was graciously gifted this product in exchange for my honest review. I am seriously OBSESSED with this hand balm. My hands are extremely dry, itchy, and irritated - especially during Canadian winters. I have tried upwards of 15 creams and balms, and no matter how consistent I am with applying them, my hands are always dry. This hand balm is the first product that has left my hands feeling nourished, moisturized, and soft. I don't normally spend this amount on a product, but I will absolutely be purchasing more in the future, that's how good it is! I'm seriously in awe. Love that it's 25 percent shea butter and free of parabens and phthalates, too! game-changer. I HIGHLY recommend it!

The only one that works for dry Canadian weather
This hand cream is my ride or die. It's thick but the texture is very cloud like so it's easy to apply and spread. It leaves my hand silky smooth and soft and provides enough moisture for throughout the day. I don't need to reapply this too often like I have to with other hand creams. My hands are excessively dry and the Canadian dry winter definitely does not help. I have tried almost all renowned hand creams in the market but I keep going back to this. It does not make my hands too greasy and with continuous use, my the looks of my skin has definitely aged backwards haha. I definitely think it's worth the purchase as I have restocked another one already after trying this out for the first time. The full size tube will last you a long time as a small amount goes a very long way. Product gifted by L'Occitane Canada

intensive care
Due to the winter weather my hands were super dry, so I started to use Protecting & Repairing Shea Butter Intensive Hand Balm and it is pure luxury for my hands. The texture is rich and thick, after I massage it in, it absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave my hands greasy. I love to use it at nighttime or right after washing my hands.The scent is soft, clean, and slightly sweet with nothing overpowering. My hands felt incredibly smooth and hydrated since the first time I used it, the 25% of shea butter makes a difference with other hand balms, I notice it immediately. I received this #freeproduct and as I love treating myself and keeping my hands in top-notch condition this hand balm becomes my favorite and it is Vegan!
