Balm out

It's that time of year again! International Women's Day will take place on 8 March, and to celebrate the occasion, L'Occitane has launched its annual limited edition shea butter Solidarity Balm (€6).

The multi-purpose balm is enriched with over 98 per cent shea butter that helps to nourish, protect and soften dry skin, lips, and hair.

This year, the balm is perfumed with a gourmand and floral scent of hibiscus. The hibiscus flower is used in Burkina Faso to prepare the Bissap, a refreshing traditional African drink that friends and family gather to drink.

100 per cent of the profits from the sale of this balm will fund projects to promote women's leadership in the Western African country.
