It offers skin care, body care and fragrance products of its own formulation and design. L'Occitane boasts of its commitment to giving back to communities and its efforts to diminish its environmental imprint. The business was founded in 1976 as an effort to create a company that celebrates and preserves the traditions of the founder's native region of France, Provence.
