Since launching in 1976, L’OCCITANE en Provence has been cultivating change, believing beauty goes beyond what the eye can see. From seed to skin, the brand prioritises the use of high-quality, traceable and natural ingredients in its skincare, bath, body, hair care and fragrance products. The company works directly with 130 producers and 10,000 pickers, from the Immortelle fields of Corsica to the lavender fields of Provence, to ensure ingredients are sourced as sustainably as possible to protect nature, limit its environmental impact and support local communities. L’OCCITANE’s intention is to create positive change and inspire everyone to do the same.
