Our Values and Commitments

Authenticity & Naturalness

Behind any good product, there is always a true story. Behind every L'OCCITANE bottle is a traceable origin and land, producers with exacting standards, and techniques inherited from the traditions of Provence – or elsewhere. To find the ingredients that will go into its formulas, L'OCCITANE looks to nature, exploring the principles of phytotherapy (treatment through plants) and aromatherapy (treatment through scents).

Effectiveness & Pleasure

Our effective beauty products are the result of bringing together tradition, nature and research. We create patented complexes and test each of our products under dermatological and medical supervision to ensure both a visible effect and optimum safety. But our researchers also focus on pleasure. From its texture to its fragrance, a L'OCCITANE product always offers a delicious moment of well-being and sensory delight. Finally, from scents to colors, from interior lighting to welcoming staff, we design our boutiques so that every minute spent with us is rich in enjoyment and discovery.

Respect & Responsibility

L'OCCITANE is committed to limiting the environmental impact of our actions and products, to improving the well-being of both our customers and employees, and to supporting the causes close to our heart whenever possible.

Through both the company and the L'OCCITANE Foundation we continue our efforts so that we can build on these commitments even further.

Continuous Improvement, Openness and Enterprise

Like any company with a human dimension, L'OCCITANE cannot claim to be perfect. However, we do continually endeavor to improve ourselves, to be open to the world, and to show our entrepreneurial spirit. In this way, we aim to contribute not only to the well-being of our customers and employees, but also to that of the world around us – in the broadest sense of the term. Within this context, the creation of the L'OCCITANE Foundation in 2006 has given further impetus to the efforts undertaken over the last 30 years.
