L'Occitane Snapshot
L’Occitane develops products that are increasingly respectful of both mankind and the world we live in. We strive to minimise our carbon footprint by limiting the use of air transport, promoting the use of renewable energies and, wherever possible, transporting our goods by sea, rail or road. We promote biodiversity through sustainable growing practices and increasingly natural formulas.
At L'Occitane, we use the very best Provence has to offer, for a natural and sensorial product. Every day, we commit to preserving the breathtaking natural environment that never ceases to amaze. 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.
