Organic Almond and Apple

The almonds and apples that we use in our formulas are harvested in the south of France by our suppliers, who we know well and with whom we maintain long-term relationships. This guarantees the complete traceability of our ingredients by controlling their geographical origin, and ensures that Provençal expertise continues to be handed down.

The almond tree is a strong symbol of the Provençal landscape, yet has been threatened by more profitable crops. L’OCCITANE wants to put this emblematic tree back where it deserves to be on the Provençal landscape, and thus purchases its almonds from producers in Provence.

The apple tree: Provence offers an ideal climate and altitude for growing apple trees. To protect the environmental balance of the region (soil, groundwater, etc.), L’OCCITANE has chosen to use organically grown apples, i.e. without pesticides, insecticides, chemical fertilizers or GMO, and picked when mature.

Traceability

The almonds that we use come from orchards in the south of France, such as the one owned by Monsieur Jaubert on the Valensole plateau. The apples, meanwhile, are cultivated in the region around Gap, where Monsieur and Madame Mégy are among our main suppliers.
