L'OCCITANE en Provence

About & Description

Natural beauty from Provence, since 1976 http://nz.loccitane.com/

The story begins in Provence, in 1976, when L’OCCITANE was created by Olivier Baussan. Drawing inspiration from the lands and traditional techniques of the Mediterranean, he created skincare, body care and fragrance products that were natural and authentic, effective and deliciously appealing.

L’OCCITANE beauty products are a true art de vivre devoted to your well-being. We bring together nature and research, following the principles of phytotherapy and aromatherapy. We create formulas that are rich in natural active ingredients and essential oils, which are mostly organic and patented, and always of traceable origin. All our products are dermatologically tested for skin tolerance. What started as a company producing only essential oil shampoos, L’Occitane’s life now includes skin care, fragrances, bath and body products, makeup, men’s products, hair care, soaps, and a remarkably extensive home collection.
