At L'Occitane we show off the very best Provence has to offer, for a glowing beauty that's unique. Every day we commit to preserving the breathtaking natural environment that never ceases to amaze. L’Occitane offers bodycare and skincare products featuring the best of Provence’s ingredients.It all began in the markets of Provence. With nothing but an alembic, a small truck and a solid knowledge of plants, a 23-year-old named Olivier Baussan began distilling rosemary essential oil to sell locally. He expanded his production from oils to soaps to creams, taking inspiration from the land he grew up on to bring natural beauty to homes across the world.Our global community is king, and we try to give back through our L'Occitane Foundation, created in 2006. Our two main initiatives support visual impairment around the world and economic emancipation for women in Burkina Faso. On top of that, we have a commitment to reducing waste and have partnered with Terracycle for responsible recycling with some of our packaging made from recycled plastic!
