The story of L’Occitane begins in 1976, in the hills of Haute-Provence… a region of southern France that lies between the Alps and the Mediterranean. Here, Olivier Baussan, the founder of L’Occitane, grew up. For over thirty years, the fields of Provence and the traditions and techniques of this unspoiled land have been the secret and inspiration behind his beauty products. Even today, all of our products are developed and produced here, in the small Provençal town of Manosque.
L’Occitane beauty products bring together nature and research, following the principles of phytotherapy and aromatherapy. Our formulas are rich in natural active ingredients and essential oils, which are mostly organic and patented, and always of controlled origin. Our products are dermatologically tested.
L’Occitane is a socially responsible company, committed to limiting the impact of its actions and products on the environment. We have never tested our products on animals and pursue our research with the aim of offering the very best natural or certified-organic products.
From the very beginning, L’Occitane has been building bridges beyond the Mediterranean and supported sustainable development programs. One example of this is Burkina Faso, West Africa, where the company has developed women’s cooperatives around the production of Shea Butter. Today, the L’Occitane Foundation continues to support these projects – projects that give the brand its meaning and purpose.
