Inspired by his ancestors' traditions, Olivier Baussan founded L'Occitane, an extraordinary line of fragrance and skin care, over 30 years ago in the vital and vibrant region of France known as Haute-Provence. Utilizing essential oils and natural ingredients indigenous to the area like lavender, lemon verbena, and olive oil, L'Occitane creates unique products with the fresh bounties of each season's harvest and the soothing, moisturizing properties of rich shea butter.
