Commitment

Traceable Ingredients

Shea Butter Ingredient Origin: West Africa
Rather than buying the Shea nuts, we buy the Butter directly from the women's cooperatives, with no intermediaries. L'Occitane's Shea Butter supply chain was recognised as 'exemplary' by the UNDP in 2013 and 2019. Learn more.

Independence For Women

Our Shea Butter supply chain is 100% Fair Trade. Our partnership with the producers has allowed us to empower and support 42,000 women in West Africa. Learn more.

Why Has Our Formula Changed?

We have improved our formula to be vegan friendly, made with 96% natural origin ingredients. This has changed the consistency to a lighter, more emollient cream which transforms into a velvety matte texture after application. Still enriched with 20% Shea Butter to offer you intense nourishment and protection, it leaves a beautiful sheen to the skin.

In line with our commitment to reducing waste, our tube is made out of 95% recycled aluminium, with the cardboard packaging obtained from sustainable forestry.

Building Fair Trade Partnerships

We purchase fair-trade certified shea butter directly from the female cooperatives who source and produce our organic shea butter in West Africa. Our long-term partnership has helped these women gain more independence and build sustainable livelihoods by promoting their entrepreneurship and empowerment and providing a source of income.
