A STORY OF CONTINUOUS COMMITMENTS
L'OCCITANE was born in 1976, when its founder, Olivier Baussan, began distilling essential oils and selling them in his much-loved land of Provence. Built on strong principles and true stories, the brand has grown (a lot!), but its philosophy has always remained the same. Nature matters. People matter. And that's why L'OCCITANE has 6 clear commitments, focused on protecting our precious planet and treating people with respect.
Nature at the Heart
At L'Occitane en Provence, we believe in cultivating change so we can create a fairer, more equitable, more regenerative economy. Our vision of the future is perfectly consistent with the B Corp movement, and we share a determination to use business as a force for good.
