What Is Shea Butter?
Derived from the kernels of wild Shea fruit trees, Shea Butter is a natural fatty substance that changes with temperature. When warmed between the palms, it transforms into a luxurious moisturizer for the skin (face & body). Its versatility and nourishing properties make it a must-have for daily care.

The Benefits of Shea Butter
Shea Butter is renowned for its exceptional properties, offering solutions for a variety of skin concerns:
- Intense Moisturization: Creates a soft barrier that seals in moisture, perfect for every skin type, including dry skin
- Soothing Care: Helps reduce feelings of discomfort, making it ideal for different skin concerns, including dry lips.
- Nourishment & Gentle Protection
- Naturally rich in Omegas 6 and 9 fatty acids
- Empowering Women Through Shea Butter
In West Africa, the process of making Shea Butter is a tradition passed from mother to daughter. L’OCCITANE partners directly with producers like Salimata and her daughter Mariétou, ensuring fair trade practices that provide economic security and independence. Through initiatives like the RESIST program (Resilience, Ecology, Strengthening, Independence, Structure, Training), we’ve invested $2 million to support women’s cooperatives, improve sustainability, and protect natural resources. Since 2006, over 30,000 women have been supported, with a goal to empower 60,000 women.
