This hand cream has gone viral on TikTok
Practical *and* trendy
As many avid followers of beauty trends know, TikTok is a goldmine for discovering new and exciting products. Whether it be a new makeup style, application technique, or product, the app has it all. And the latest beauty topic making the rounds? Hand cream! Though, it’s not just any generic lotion. The latest sensation sweeping through the platform is the L'Occitane Hand Cream.
Why L'Occitane hand cream is trending on TikTok
The L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream ($49 at L’Occitanne) has quickly become a viral sensation for its unique texture.
Comprised of 20 per cent shea butter, users of the app have marvelled at its ability to stand upright, a characteristic that not only demonstrates its rich consistency but also assures users of its deep moisturising properties.
Despite its thickness, the cream is also touted as non-greasy, absorbing quickly into the skin to provide long-lasting hydration without leaving any residue. This balance of intensity and lightness makes it a standout product in the hand cream market.
Videos of the product have amassed millions of views each, leading to a broader discussion on the practical beauty staple that is hand cream.
