I've had great success using different kinds of shea butter, mostly to make my feet look better in sandles. I've always wanted to try L'Occitane's products but hesitated because they seem expensive. I was happy to find this mini tin of pure shea butter. I guess I didn't read the size carefully when I ordered as I was surprised at how tiny this tin actually was when it arrived. Still, I know a little shea butter goes a long way so I didn't mind too much. Yet when I opened the tin I was struck by the unpleasant smell. I've used pure, refined shea butter (no scent) and pure, unprocessed shea butter (slightly nutty scent) before, but neither smelled like the L'Occitane mini shea butter tin I received. The shea butter works well but the smell is so unpleasant to me that I'm only using it on my feet when I wear socks and shoes, or at bedtime. It softens my heels well and keeps them looking soft but I will try another brand of pure shea butter next time.

I have used this L'Occitane Shea Butter for many years. No one should be without. I even use it on my grandchildren when they have a diaper rash. The product is amazing, I hope they never stop making it.

This stuff is heavenly and I love putting it on my lips, face, sensitive eye area, elbows, feet and any place that needs a little extra TLC. The tin is huge and will last a long time. Try it, you will love it too.

Used this twice daily during my first pregnancy with twins. This is great! Ended up with NO marks at all. This is the best Shea Butter.

While I have long appreciated L'Occitane's shea butter for its smoothness and efficacy, the packaging on this tin is a detraction. For one thing, prying the top off is a chore. Then once you've gotten it open, the edge of the bottom tin is rather sharp. I haven't thrown the tin away because the shea butter inside is worth the effort, but I would never purchase this size for myself or anyone else again.

I think within the category, i.e. shea butter heavy moisturizer, this is one of the better. That said, I don't really have a use for it. It's plain and odorless and goes on like slightly thicker Vaseline. That said, I don't have a use for Vaseline. I prefer lotion if I need lotion and chap stick if I need chap stick.
