Natural Ingredients
At L'OCCITANE, the company is committed to using high-quality, traceable, and natural ingredients. They incorporate over 200 botanical ingredients into their products, with a quarter of these being organically certified. These ingredients are meticulously chosen for their effectiveness and their capacity to provide the skin with essential elements for beauty. The ingredients are used at optimal concentrations in their formulas, with a strong preference for natural components whenever feasible. For instance, L'OCCITANE opts for vegetable oils rather than petrochemical-derived oils, due to their superior compatibility with the skin. The key natural ingredients that define their products are central to their unique formulations.
Vegan Products
The company utilizes over 300 plant-based ingredients, prioritizing these natural elements in their formulas. They source traceable ingredients through a distinctive network of trusted local suppliers and exclusively use bee by-products like honey and beeswax, with no other animal-origin products. Customers can explore their range of vegan beauty products, which are entirely free from animal products and by-products.
