L’Occitane

L’Occitane en Provence is an international retailer of body, face and home products. The company was founded in 1976 by Olivier Baussan and is based in Manosque, France. Baussan exercised his enthusiasm for nature’s most precious treasures and created a cosmetic company based on essential oils and natural ingredients.

L’Occitane prides itself on its ability to create innovative products. What started as a company producing only essential oil shampoos, L’Occitane’s life now includes skin care, fragrances, bath and body products, makeup, men’s products, hair care, soaps, and a remarkably extensive home collection. 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).All products and stores reflect the company’s core values of authenticity, simplicity, sensory pleasure and respect for people and the planet. Integral to Baussan’s philosophy are the true stories behind L’Occitane products. Infused with rich Provencal tradition, L’Occitane represents the heritage of this simple, yet vibrant region and celebrates the culture of the people who live there.
