During the Middle Ages in France, Angelica was used for its excellent medical properties and as a herb. It was recommended for the overworked or convalescing. Angelica essential oil has hydrating and toning properties, which also helps to restore and preserve beauty.
Some Provençal locals still embrace Angelica’s healing properties today, by brewing its root as a tea or chewing on it. Learn more about Angelica by visiting our online magazine Fantastic Provence.
In Provence, the Angelica plant can grow to a height of up to two meters in just a few days, thanks to its exceptional capacity for continuous self-hydration. L'OCCITANE has selected an organic angelica from the Drôme region and placed it at the heart of a skincare regimen to include a cleanser, toner, hydration cream, and daily SPF protection with fresh and silky smooth textures. Angelica skincare is formulated with a patented complex of Angelica water to stimulate cell renewal, and Angelica essential oil to support elastin fiber and protect the skin from free-radicals.
