Our ingredients policy
For 30 years L’OCCITANE has supported local producers using traditional production practices. We help them to increase their production’s value through A.O.C. controlled-origin labels, organic certifications…

We have mastered the management of the quality and traceability of the natural ingredients that we use, through the entire production chain, from the planning to the distillation of the plants.

The preservation of cultures that are in danger is also one of our priorities. When a plant is over-exploited, we chose to source it from cultivated land, rather than harvesting it from its natural and fragile environment.

We work closely with the Farm Bureau and Natural Regional Parks on the revival of forgotten cultures plans, which is the case of the almond tree in Provence.

Once the sourcing of ingredients is secure, our research and development laboratory tests the efficiency of the active extracts.

L’OCCITANE’s ingredients policy places a priority on sustainable development, with a focus on both human beings and nature.
