A shower oil sold every 15 seconds around the world is being praised by shoppers for its ability to give “silky smooth skin” with just one application.
L’Occitane’s Almond Shower Oil, $38.16 on Amazon, is made predominantly from almond oil and almonds picked in the Valensole region of France.
Almond oil is rich in vitamins A and E which are crucial for soft and supple skin.

The oil also boasts camelina oil, which is rich in omegas 3 and 6, alongside organic shea butter to promote hydration of the skin.
While many shower gels are foaming and stripping of the skin due to the inclusion of certain chemicals, when the Almond Shower Oil mixes with water it becomes a silky, cleansing milk that gently washes and moisturises the skin.
It also has a 2-in-1 function, in that it both cleans the skin and moisturises it.
Those who have bought the oil also rave about the delicious almond and vanilla smell, as well as the shower oil’s ability to give them smoother skin without the faff of having to apply moisturiser or oil after getting out.
“This shower oil smells divine and makes you feel like a goddess! I also purchased the body oil and balm after smelling this. Obsessed! Love it,” one of the 5,000 reviewers on Amazon wrote.
“I was given a sample of this last Christmas, and only recently opened it and tried it… well it was amazing,” another added.
“I suffer from very dry skin during winter, to the point my skin on my hips and legs will crack and bleed, due to the cold dry climate I live in. I have used the Moogoo, and the special medicated body wash, I haven’t used soap through winter in years, but inevitably I end up with sores and dry itchy skin and a visit to the doctor to help remedy it.”
The reviewer added: “I thought this was a bit expensive but wanted to give it a go. It has a lovely fragrance, nothing too heavy, I still apply my moisturisers on top, it is lovely to put on and hydrates my skin beautifully. Our winter came early this year, but so far so good, will definitely buy this again”.
While a third said: “I have used this product for years. My favourite. Of course, I am French!”
The shower oil is available in 250mL and 500mL depending on how much you want to buy, and it also comes in eco-pouches (made entirely from recycled materials) so you can easily re-fill and go when you want to.
