L'Occitane

Since 1976, La Maison L'Occitane en Provence has been inspired by the wonders of nature to create cosmetics that awaken the senses and care for you. Every day, La Maison L'Occitane is committed to preserving this precious flora and fauna, with a genuine desire to contribute to a positive, long-term impact on our ecosystem. The L'Occitane laboratory, which combines tradition and innovation, develops natural, effective, sensorial and long-lasting cosmetics. From their texture to their fragrance, they all promise an experience of well-being and a delight for the senses.  

The products are developed according to several criteria: a high level of sensoriality, a range of textures and, of course, a response to your skin's needs. The brand offers a wide range of face care, body care and fragrance products to satisfy all your needs. 

L'Occitane at Beauty Plaza

Beauty Plaza offers various product ranges from L'Occitane. L'Occitane uses more than 300 plant-based ingredients in its products, a quarter of which are organically certified. The ingredients are carefully selected for their effectiveness and their ability to provide your skin with the nutrients it needs to look and feel beautiful.

L'Occitane is environmentally conscious and prefers organic ingredients

L'Occitane prefers to use natural ingredients whenever possible. For example, the brand uses plant oils instead of mineral oils because they are more easily absorbed by the skin. Sometimes, adding synthetic molecules is important to ensure the optimal safety of a product. L'Occitane only does so when there is genuinely no alternative.

A conscious approach to packaging

For its product packaging, L'Occitane chooses the least polluting or recycled materials wherever possible. The brand designs packaging that is easy to recycle and increasingly offers eco-refills for hygiene products.
