Shea Classic

Indulge your hands in the gentle luxury of this cream-to-foam cleanser enriched with 5% Shea butter. It delicately purifies while wrapping the skin in absolute comfort, helping to prevent feelings of dryness. Its silky, easy-to-rinse lather leaves hands and body soft, nourished, and subtly scented.

The heart of creamy Shea intertwines with warm vanilla facets, unfolding into a floral bouquet with whispers of mimosa—like the soft embrace of winter in Provence.

Housed in a timeless design inspired by the apothecary jar, the pump is stamped as a testament to the meticulous artisanal process.

For over 40 years, our sustainable Shea sourcing in West Africa has supported 6,000 women producers and helped preserve shea trees and their environment—showing how Shea nourishes skin, communities, and ecosystems alike.
