SHEA POWER

Did you know that it takes between 40 to 50 years before the nuts from the shea tree can be harvested? Native to areas such as Burkina Faso, this treasured ingredient has long been tapped by L’Occitane, and the new Shea Apricot Solidarity Balm takes the nut’s goodness even further. Launched in conjunction with International Women’s Day, all profits benefit the Burkinabe women by improving literacy rates and boosting businesses of female entrepreneurs. Getting soft lips for yourself has never been this beneficial to others.
