Formulation Charter
WHAT'S IN OUR FORMULAS?
L'OCCITANE CLEAN CHARTER
L’Occitane en Provence has been and will always be deeply
committed to consumer safety and limiting our impact on the environment
at every stage of the product life cycle. We are also widely known for offering an exceptional sensorial experience to our consumers through texture, fragrance and gesture while making no compromises on the efficacy of our products.
Aware of the evolution of our world and the needs of our consumers, we have developed our own strict
Formulation Charter
– which goes beyond regulatory compliance – to share our formulation choices in a transparent way with our consumers : it clearly discloses the ingredients we prefer to use, the ones we do not use and those we use in moderation and for which we are constantly looking for more natural and environmentally- friendly alternatives. Through our dynamic programs of continuous improvement, we have set a new global challenge for ourselves with our
“Clean Charter”
criteria in addition to our Formulation Charter commitments: these additional criteria highlight our increasingly commitment to even
more natural formulas (leave-on products)
and ingredients that
minimize our environmental impact (rinse-off products)
, without any compromise on the sensoriality, efficacy and safety of our products.
NATURAL TRANSPARENCY
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 efficacy.
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.
FROM OUR COMMITMENTS TO THE FORMULAS
TRACEABILITY
30
traceable ingredient supply chains, of which 50% are certified organic
PLANT INGREDIENTS
Over
300
of the ingredients we use are derived from plants, and we give priority to these ingredients when creating our formulas
FARMERS
We work with
110
farmers and
10'000
pickers. Together, we cultivate and harvest more than 5'200 hectares of land
OUR PROMISES
NATURALNESS
COSMETIC FORMULAS THAT ARE ECO-FRIENDLY
One of our goals is to make products that are more natural and more biodegradable so as to reduce their impact on the environment.
We promote
eco-friendly manufacturing
for our ingredients by using energy-saving and environmentally friendly technologies. These include distillation (to make essential oils and floral waters), plant maceration and cold pressing (to make plant oils or citrus oils).
SAFETY
CONSUMER SAFETY HAS ALWAYS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A PRIORITY
We ensure that 100% of all new products are put through rigorous testing. This amounts to around
1'200 clinical tests per year
.
We manufacture and control the quality of our products before launching them to market and impose
the strictest
international quality and regulatory standards
.
Every day, a team of 30 people work to ensure that our products are safe and that they conform to regulation. Their work starts at the design stage and continues throughout the entire marketing life-cycle.
EFFECTIVENESS
The effectiveness of our ingredients is proven through
in-vitro laboratory tests
and state-of-the-art prediction methods. However, we always complement this with additional consumer tests and in-vivo clinical studies.
Our clinical studies are carried out by independent doctors (dermatologists, ophthalmologists and pediatrics). They use
dermatological checks
in real life conditions, or instrumental measurements on a panel of volunteers.
