A hero product!

Shea butter is a fabulous ingredient, but sometimes pure shea butter is all you need. Extremely soothing, repairing and moisturising it is ideal for excema, allergy sufferers and those with sore dry skin.

We use it on sore skin; as a lip balm; as a nail and cuticle balm; on dry elbows, knees and ankles; as a manicure and pedicure treatment; in place of a hair serum... oh the list goes on! Basically, if you like natural products and treatments you'd be a fool to miss this.

It lasts ages, a large tin is a good investment if you use it daily for many uses, but a smaller tin will be ideal for travel or if you just use it as a lip balm.

L'Occitane's Shea Butter is bought directly from a female co-operative, so you can be sure of a fairly traded, quality product.

And the packaging is fab too!

Our cuticles are one thing we often skimp on when buying products, but OPI's Avoplex Oil proves that we really should take more care of our cuticles to have healthy and great looking nails. Although it's an oil it is not as greasy as you might expect and the results are instant as well as long-term. After just one application cuticles are nourished and appear neat and healthy, and after a couple of weeks nails are growing stronger and look cared for.
