L'Occitane

One day, 23-year-old Olivier Baussan was distilling and selling rosemary essential oil: this is where the story of L'Occitane began. The founder's understanding of plants and their many benefits led to L'Occitane expanding into oils, then soaps, then creams. Olivier always took botanicals from the land he grew up on, creating effective, natural cosmetics.

As the years went on, L'Occitane was committed to research and innovation, constantly pushing through boundaries in plant extraction, molecular biology and analytical chemistry to create products that pave the way within the beauty industry.

Known for their velvety-rich moisturisers, natural French soaps and decadent bath soaks, L'Occitane today is a brand synonymous with spa-like indulgences. And with that comes Spa L'Occitane, a natural extension of the brand where Mediterranean ingredients meet traditional global therapies.

Discover this lavish brand and pamper yourself or a loved one with a soap, cream or elixir.
