FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS...
L'OCCITANE has been using the key principles of phytotherapy* and aromatherapy** for more than 40 years.
Innovation is at the heart of our mission and we have a team of experts that represents 20 different scientific disciplines (formulators, agronomists, microbiologists, biologists, toxicologists, dermatologists...). These experts are dedicated to discovering new textures and properties that our natural active ingredients can offer, and to proving their efficiency.
Our products are created with two things in mind, people and nature. In addition to continually improving our formulas, we also aim to limit our impact on the environment. We source traceable ingredients from a network of trusted local suppliers and we select these suppliers carefully, building long-lasting relationships. The quality of our ingredients is of utmost importance (for example: protected designation of origin, organic farming and sustainable agriculture) and we use the highest quality ingredients in the most appropriate concentrations.
We do everything we can to offer you increasingly natural formulas. We are always striving to challenge our methods so that we can keep improving, and we are proud of our innovations and duly protect them. As of today, we have filed more than 70 patents.
* Phytotherapy (phyto, plant) is an ancient and traditional medicine based on the use of the natural plant properties.
** Aromatherapy is one of the major areas of herbal medicine. It is a soft medicine based on the use of the natural properties of essential oils.
