Ouch! August 1, 2008

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'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.
