So I like the smell and the texture, but don't know enough about all these oils to compare with the yummy stuff mentioned in your blog entry. As far as L'Occitaine, it's expensive. These guys have their own stores- so consider all the overhead involved. So, yes, I did find some inexpensive lotions, my supply of the one that I really would like to go to town on is rapidly being depleted.

It is very soothing and stopped the flaking (not quite like dandruff, but I get your drift). From trips abroad, I got some hotel sized NIVEA and also L'OCCITAINE (w/ Shea butter). Supplies have run out, but they both smelled yummy and did a great job on moisturizing. <br />Barry Pnoreply@blogger.com
