FAQs
Can I use this on my face?
While it is primarily designed as a body treatment, its gentle, natural ingredients are generally well-tolerated. However, if you are prone to breakouts, it may be too heavy for facial use.
How often should I apply it?
For best results, apply at least once daily, preferably after showering. You can reapply whenever your skin feels dry or tight.
Is this product vegan?
No, the formula includes honey, so it is not considered vegan.
How long does the 200ml jar last?
Depending on usage frequency and the amount applied, a 200ml jar typically lasts between 1 to 3 months with daily use.
Does it have a strong scent?
The cream has a subtle, clean, and natural scent derived from its ingredients, but it is not heavily fragranced.
Can I recycle the packaging?
Yes, please check your local municipal guidelines for recycling plastic containers. Many of L'Occitane's containers are designed to be recyclable.
Troubleshooting
The cream feels slightly grainy
Shea butter is a natural ingredient that can sometimes crystallize if stored in fluctuating temperatures. Warm a larger amount between your palms for a few seconds longer; the heat will melt the crystals into the rest of the cream.
Skin feels tacky after application
You may be using too much product. Try applying a thinner layer. Since this is an ultra-rich formula, a little goes a long way.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the L'Occitane Shea Ultra Rich Body Cream. Simply remove the protective seal from the jar upon the first use.
- Compatibility: The product is formulated for all skin types but is specifically optimized for dry to very dry skin. It is safe for sensitive skin types.
- Storage: Keep the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the shea butter. High temperatures can cause the product to become too soft or separate slightly.
- Hygiene: To ensure the longevity of the cream, always use clean, dry hands when scooping the product out of the jar. This prevents the introduction of bacteria into the formula.
