I was burnt in a grease fire a month ago leaving 40% of my body with 3rd degree burns. I was in the hospital for two weeks where I received skin grafts on both arms and one leg. They wanted to graft my back. I asked if I could try to heal my back on my own. I started using shea butter on my burns, grafts and surrounding skin. Because of your shea butter my skin is recovering smoother and faster than anyone at the hospital has ever seen. I won't have to get anymore grafts. Amazing! Thank you!!!!!

This butter can do a lot. I put it on my terribly swollen mosquito bites and the itch went away instantly...It also feels great on the lips.

I don't know about the new product, because I have to confess I bought several of the Lavender Shea Butter 15th anniversary tins and still use it now - although I am on my last one now. It still smells fresh and works wonders. Maybe the lavender oil acted as a preservative? At any rate, I will be running out of mine soon and want to know what people think of the new product.

I love this stuff! I had surgery, and used Shea Butter on the incision site. When my Dr. saw how well it had healed and how quickly, he actually wrote down the brand and the product. I use it for dry feet, dry hands, cuticles, surgical sites everything, but brushing my teeth.

This is the best moisturizer ever! I was introduced to it while i was pregnant as a way to minimize itching dry skin and the results are great..by far the best body butter out there. For all those moms-to-be: Save your money and time buying other stretch mark preventing products and invest in something that actually works, And this has worked for me through out my pregnancy and I will always use it.

The BEST product for dry skin! I had VERY dry cracked and peeling lips and tried everything without relief. Then I used this and have it in purse size in the (10% shea chapstick) lipstick form for travel. Fabulous product for my son's eczema and my daughter's hands that crack in the winter. Non greasy, no odor, it works! Don't like the can, find it troublesome to open, but suggested to the company that they consider putting it in a jar, (which is what I did).

This is the single most versatile product there is. It can be used to treat extreme dryness (on elbows and other places prone to this problem), as a lip balm, and even as an eyebrow gel! Seriously, I shape my eyebrows using this stuff and it holds all day, better than products that are actually intended for that specific purpose. Totally worth every penny.

I've used this product for years. I use it on my extra dry hands, before putting on the moisture gloves, at night. Also, I use it on my cuticles, scratches, cuts, and even on the ends of my hair as a treatment. I feel the need to address the commment to reviewer who said she had it about a month before expiration, upon delivery. You should have called customer service so they could take care of you, before leaving that review. That isn't fair to this fine product.

This product is good, but it stinks a little, since the expiration date is 04/2011. I got the product this month, which means I only have about a month or so to finish this can. It's very potent, so it will be a challenge for me to finish it all by 04/2011. So be sure that you can finish it by 04/2011 before you order or you might be luckier than me to get one that is not expiring so soon.

There are not enough compliments that I can give to this product! It has SO many uses that I'm still discovering more each day.
I got second degree burns all down my leg and I was worried about scarring, so once my skin was healed I began to put this shea butter on it. A week later, I noticed the redness of the scar had lightened up quite a bit and the edges softened.
This really is a wonderful product. Thank you, L'occitane, for giving me my skin back!

This product saved the day!! I recently had a head cold where I used about a box of lotion-added tissues each day. Even though the tissues contained lotion my nose was still very red and irritated. One night I decided to put the pure shea butter on my nose and, voila!, in the morning my nose was so much better. This stuff works wonders.

So much has already been said about this product, but, honestly, it is truly phenomenal. I use it everywhere and love it because its organic, fragrance free and very high quality. I agree with another reviewer that quality of shea butter varies greatly and this is absolutely the best I've used. It is fabulous for sensitive skin, dry skin, aging skin, hair, etc. It is very protective and can even be used sparingly as a daily moisturizer...the greatest!

I am sad to say I will no longer be buying this product. Every tin I have bought since it was introduced as "organic" has to be tested prior to purchasing, to determine if it is rancid or not. The product smells extremely bad soon after purchase. I will find something else. I can no longer use it on my face, which is what I relied on it for. It just smells awful. Please bring back the regular Shea Butter in this size!

I have loved Loccitane products, primarily the 100% shea butter for several years. However, I feel the need to warn others that if you invest in this large jar, expect it to go rancid. My jar was dated 12/2010, and I've had it a year, but customer service said you have to use it all in 6 months. I can't find that anywhere on the product or website, and they refuse to replace it. Don't trust the date on your tin. After giving Loccitane nearly $1,000 in sales, now I'm switching to coconut oil.

This product is excellent. I am a african american female and I have a perm (chemical) in my hair. I use this product to oil my scalp and my hair is healthier than I can ever remember it being (except for virgin hair). I also use it all over my body including my face. I will not say that this is the best shea butter that there is but I WILL say that this is the best that I have ever used and I have tried at least a dozen and a half so called 100% shea butter products and this is the BEST!

I have used this for my face and my skin. I apply it at night on my face after I cleanse. I also apply it on the dry patches that I have on my face in the morning after applying the Shea Butter 24 hour Ultra Rich face cream and the Shea Butter SPF. I like to mix it with the Almond Supple skin oil when applying to my body so it is not too rich. This is great for moisturizing your feet. A little goes a long way.

This tin of 100% shea butter may not be glamorous, but it is extraordinarily gentle and versatile. It soothes dry lips; it’s lovely for taming frizz and for adding shine to hair. I can apply it lightly to dry areas on my face, and my grumpy acne-prone skin never complains. In my fun experimenting, I discovered the benefits of adding it to a dollop of body lotion to enhance the lotion’s moisturizing properties. Dry, cracked heels soak it up. Best of all, it’s produced ethically and responsibly!

I was disappointed when I received these that they have an unpleasant odor like grease that has gone bad. I had previously ordered these (on an airplane) and there was no odor, so I assume it has to do with staleness. If these are not fresh, they need to add a fragrance to cover up the smell.
L'Occitane Response:
We are sorry to hear about your experience with this product. Our Shea Butter is 100% organic so it will expire. If you purchased this directly from L'Occitane, call Customer Service (1-888-623-2880) to receive a replacement.

My mother has had cancer twice and has beat it both times; now her granddaughter has a tumor and shes only 12. This is her second operation also. They both LOVE shea butter,because it doesn't wash off when she does dishes and she LOVES it,but she can't afford it. She also lost her husband and just went through a knee surgery a couple of months ago and she still hasn't healed;I just HOPE and PRAY it's not cancer again. This is way I know she should win; she's the best MOM and GRANNY EVER...........

I don't know how it does it but I have tried many other shea butters and none of them have worked. You will have a life long costumer with me. I can actually wear shorts in the summer because of your Shea butter. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!

My hands also don't show my age and I have to wash my hands a lot being a health care professional. I could practically sell this better than the sales clerk. In fact, I did that, sell it to another customer in the store. I am just sad that it discontinued the lavender and verbena line, love the smell. Giving it as gifts again this year.

I love the mini shea butter tin! I use it on my lips as a moisturizer. It is by far the best lip balm I have ever used. It keeps my lips moist without feeling goopy or gunky. And it stays on for quite awhile before I have to reapply. It's very smooth, so if I want some color in the winter, I will apply it first & then apply a lipstick on top. It's also the perfect size to put in your pocket. I got my boyfriend hooked on the mini shea butter, too! It is the only lip balm he'll use.

We have a 3 year-old son that was born with extremely dry skin. I tried every prescription drug. I would get his skin under control & a week later dry itchy patches would form again. He loves the water & would cry when we had to limit his water time. Apparently, moisture makes dry patches worse. A friend told me about L'Occitane organic shea butter and it has made my son's dry skin dissapear. I use it religiously every day. Our quality of life is wonderful. We are no longer sleepless in Seattle.

I have always had dry cracked skin and have tried different products with little success, even one recommended by a dermatologist. The day I decided to walk into a L'Occitane boutique and give shea butter a try, has been the best thing I have done for my skin. It moisturizes, heals and softens the skin. There is nothing like it. I don't go a day without it, or the rich shea body cream. Every holiday I know what I want for my present.

My daughter was born with eczema. It was so unbearable for us to see her scratching and in constant discomfort. The doctors prescribed medicine with a strong chemical base that I didn't want on my baby's skin. I tried everything to make her comfortable. While shopping, I experienced a wonderful aroma coming from the L'OCCITANE store. Once inside, I explained my daughter's skin condition. The salesperson suggested I try pure shea butter. It worked! L'Occitane is our everyday product!

I have used L’Occitane since the early 1990’s when I worked as a flight attendant regularly traveling to France. My hands were always dry from the lack of moisture in the cabin and every cream I tried only irritated them, so I tried the 100% shea butter. It was, and is, the only hand product that soothes my dry, cracked hands. Even though I no longer fly the friendly skies, I still use shea buter every day.

I was sitting on the couch one day and noticed that my legs looked like a dry riverbed and thought humm what would happen if I added shea butter. At the time I thought it was pretty nasty and greasy but it did absorb eventually (I used quite a bit). However, the best part was when I woke up----so soft and no trace of any dryness / scaliness. THANK YOU! I'm sold! Will purchase the larger size once it is available.

It even works better than prescription or medicated creams that I have tried and, since it is fragrance free and contains no preservatives, it never irritates my sensitive skin. It is also great on cracked, dry heels and works wonders on cuticles. This my must-have skin product!

My husband had the worst dry cracked feet, so bad that his feet ripped holes through several sets of 1000 thread count sheets before I said put lotion on your feet or wear socks - he refused lotion and went for the ugly socks - then I came across this shea butter and thought he would like it since the container looked like shoe polish. Sure enough he did and has been using it ever since and now NO SOCKS to bed and my expensive sheets have been saved!!! Plus now his feet are amazingly soft!

I bought this product on the island a week ago and tried it as a leave-in conditoner on my dry hair. I am of Afro descent and live on a tropical island. My hair is relaxed and sometimes dry at the ends. The Shea butter softed and condtioned my dry and brittle ends. This product is very versatile.
I've used it on my hair and also as a foot cream and already I feel and see the results.
Just a little bit goes a long way. It's worth every penny.
The hair conditoner and shampoos are also a great buy.

I had shoulder surgery a few months ago, and was left with a long, raised, tight scar. Nothing I used helped to stop the feeling of tight, pulling skin. I finally tried a sample of the 100% shea butter and felt relief immediately! Best of all, it softened the skin without being greasy and getting all over my clothes. I have been using it twice a day and the scar is starting to flatten and lighten. This is a marvelous product for surgery scars! I recommended it to my surgeon for other patients
