WE ARE CULTIVATORS OF CHANGE
Since 1976, L'Occitane en Provence has been imagining, producing and selling beauty, skincare and wellbeing products with an intention to share nature's wonders with the world. Our ambition is to not only sustain lands, but to regenerate ecosystems. We believe beauty goes beyond what the eye can see. From seed to skin, we are holistic in our approach. At L'Occitane en Provence, we've always been Cultivators of Change. This mindset is nothing new. We do our best to create positive change for the world, and we always try to inspire everyone around us to do the same.
CULTIVATING CHANGE THROUGH OUR ACTIONS
"We've helped our farmers to form a fair trade collective that focuses on agroecology. This means they have access to better farming practices and training programs, and learn how to care for biodiversity."
Justine, Sustainable Ingredients Team
"We believe in the power of nature, and we believe in empowering customers. This pushed us to develop a strict Formulation Charter, so we can be transparent about the choices we make."
Pascal, Scientific Research and Development Team
"We need to stay conscious of the state of emergency facing our natural world and fight for it together. We want to continue preserving and giving back to nature, so that nature can continue giving back to us. So every year, we work even harder, across every environment and ecosystem we touch, to support and enable its regeneration."
Adrien, Group Chief Sustainability Officer
Let us tell you our story through one year… Every year, we plant powerful ingredients that are in perfect symbiosis with their ecosystems. We turn to Mother Earth and marvel at her in bloom. We explore her treasures and investigate our own methods until new breakthroughs are revealed. We craft them into unexpected memories. We team up with people at a local level because we believe that any act can make a difference, no matter how big or small.
OUR STORY IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR CHAPTERS
WE GROW NATURE
We believe in sustainable agriculture and we develop agro-ecological methods to grow our iconic ingredients. They are sourced sustainably and in ways that do not put pressure on the precious ecosystems and natural environments that surround us.
WE REVEAL WONDERS
We understand that, just like everything else in nature, our hair and skin have their own ecosystems. To support their regeneration, we bring together a team of scientists who explore and investigate until new breakthroughs are revealed.
WE CRAFT SENSATION
By stirring the senses, we craft sensations. we turn to the unexpected to create long-lasting memories and bring more poetry into people's lives. Gifts that people can pass on to their loved ones knowing that they will be cherished forever.
WE ACT LOCALLY
The world needs to change, and we all have a role to play to make this happen. We know that our employees, customers, and people we work with every day can make a difference. The actions we take on a local scale can make life better on a global scale.
