Jumping on my Soap Box

My product of the week is going to soap.  As you know, I love all things L’Occitane and months back bought their exfoliating almond soap and with the matching soap dish.  As they made a perfect little gift, I bought my parents one, my sister one and my mate Sunny one as well.

My almond soap is now but a sliver of its former self so it was back into L’Occitane to buy some more.  I am a planner and I like to investigate my future purchases online so I did my research and thought I would go for their Apricot Shea Butter Solidarity Soap (€3.50 for 50g).

Every year, L’Occitane launches a solidarity product to help to fight against blindness and this year, they have developed an apricot-scented soap with shea butter.  The Company has strong links with the least developed country in West Africa, Burkina Faso where they acquire this shea butter.

So I was very pleased when I went into the boutique and they had many of these soaps at the till.  It’s great to know that 100% of the profits from the sale of this little soap contributes to the charities working on eye health projects in developing countries.  Oh and I happen to love the smell of apricots and love the health properties of shea butter.

I have been using it for 3 weeks and you don’t need too much of it as a tiny weeny bit goes an awful long way.  The fragrance is very subtle and is moisturising and the healing properties of the shea butter doesn’t dry your hands out.

Everyone’s a winner!
