Product Information

Full details

The L'Occitane Shea Hand Scrub 30Ml is designed for adults seeking softer, smoother hands through gentle exfoliation. Its key benefit is revealing refined skin texture by removing impurities and dead skin cells, while the 10% shea butter ensures hydration. A potential caveat is that it's an exfoliating scrub, not a moisturizer, and should be followed by a hand cream for optimal results. This scrub features finely-ground shea walnut husks for exfoliation and nourishing shea butter for post-scrub care, all sourced sustainably.

FAQs

How often should I use the Shea Hand Scrub?

For best results, use the Shea Hand Scrub 1-2 times per week. Overuse might lead to over-exfoliation, especially for sensitive skin.

What is the main purpose of this scrub?

The main purpose is to exfoliate the hands, removing dead skin cells and impurities to reveal softer, smoother skin. It also nourishes with shea butter.

Do I need to use a hand cream after the scrub?

Yes, it is highly recommended. The scrub prepares the skin to better absorb moisturizers. Following with a hand cream will lock in hydration and enhance the softening effect.

Is this scrub suitable for sensitive skin?

The scrub is designed to be gentle. However, individuals with very sensitive skin should perform a patch test first and use it sparingly, potentially less than 1-2 times a week, and always follow with a nourishing hand cream.

What does '96% natural-origin' mean?

It signifies that 96% of the ingredients in the formula are derived from natural sources, adhering to L'Occitane's Clean Charter standards.

How does the sustainable sourcing benefit the environment?

Sustainable sourcing practices help preserve shea trees and their surrounding ecosystems while supporting the livelihoods of women producers in West Africa.

Can this scrub be used on other parts of the body?

While primarily formulated for hands, the gentle exfoliation could be used on other dry, rough areas like elbows or knees. However, it is best to test on a small area first.

Troubleshooting

Product seems dry or less effective

Ensure the cap is tightly sealed when not in use. If the product has been exposed to air for an extended period, slight drying may occur. Try mixing a tiny amount of water into the scrub before application to restore texture.

Skin irritation after use

Discontinue use if irritation persists. You may have sensitive skin. Try using the scrub less frequently or for a shorter duration, and always follow with a rich moisturizer. Consult a dermatologist if the issue is severe.

Difficulty rinsing off completely

Use lukewarm water and ensure you rinse thoroughly, massaging gently to help lift all scrub particles. If residue remains, a soft washcloth can help remove it.
