L'OCCITANE Shea Lavender Extra-Gentle Soap 3.5 fl oz — Shea-enriched, Palm-Oil-Free Lavender Bar

A creamy, artisanal lavender soap enriched with shea extract that gently cleanses while helping skin feel soft and lightly scented.

Made in the traditions of Provençal soap-making, this solid bar blends the calming aroma of lavender with nourishing shea extract to cleanse without stripping the skin. Formulated without palm oil, the soap is designed for everyday use and crafted using time-honored methods for a refined texture and lasting fragrance.

How does this soap clean without drying my skin?

The formula balances gentle surfactants with moisturizing shea extract so impurities are removed while moisture is preserved. Instead of harsh detergents, the bar relies on a milder, artisanal process that produces a soft lather and a smooth finish.

• Shea extract delivers emollient qualities to help maintain skin softness.
• Traditional soap-making yields a creamy, non-stripping foam.
• Palm-oil-free formulation reduces reliance on conventional hardening fats.

What does the lavender scent add to my routine?

Lavender from Provence gives the soap a fresh, floral-herb fragrance that lingers subtly after rinsing. The scent is designed to be soothing and uplifting, suitable for morning showers or a calming evening cleanse without overpowering colognes or perfumes.

• Clean, recognizable Provençal lavender top notes.
• Delicate fragrance intensity that layers well with other products.
• Long-lasting aromatic trace on skin and in the bathroom.

How long will a 3.5 fl oz bar last and how should I store it?

Longevity depends on usage frequency and storage; kept on a draining soap dish away from direct water flow, it can last several weeks to months. Allowing the bar to dry between uses preserves texture and fragrance.

• Use a ventilated soap dish to extend the bar's life.
• Store in a cool, dry place to maintain scent and firmness.
• Suitable for daily hand and body cleansing routines.

Is this soap suitable for sensitive skin?

Formulated to be extra-gentle, the bar is a good option for many with sensitive or dry-prone skin because of its shea enrichment and mild cleansing base. As with any fragranced product, patch testing is recommended for those with fragrance sensitivities.

• Extra-gentle base helps reduce irritation risk for many users.
• Shea extract supports a softer skin feel after cleansing.
• Contains fragrance—test if you have known sensitivities.
