LAVENDER COLLECTION
“We work as a family, and we want to keep passing our traditions and passion to future generations. Lavender is not just a crop or an industry; it encapsulates the story of a land and its people. It’s the only plant that grows easily on the plateau, and it is important to have a plant that is well adapted to the soil, that can grow in the wild, and which we take the utmost care over.” - Jérome Boenle, Our Lavender Producer
Organic lavender has been part of the L’OCCITANE DNA for decades. Our producer Jerome refuses to use chemicals when the lavender is in full bloom as they are harmful to bees and the lavender flower. Lavender was one of the first flowers used by our founder, Olivier Baussan. Its unique fragrance has become an aromatic tribute to Provence, earning the nickname Blue Gold” from locals. We use lavender for its relaxing properties and exquisite scent in our body care products, which include our much-loved Foaming Bath and Eau de Cologne. Discover the original Lavender, our brand new permanent White Lavender collection, and our limited edition Lavender CBD.

White Lavender Beauty Collection
We have worked hard to breed a new variety of lavender: Mila & Éternelle. The result of seven years of research and crossbreeding carried out naturally through pollination, this blue and white lavender is more resistant to climate change and to diseases transmitted by insects. Travel to the fields of Provence with our White Lavender collection, a breezy linen scent to calm your senses.
50% of lavender in Provence is at risk of fading out, threatened by climate change. Our new White Lavender has been introduced to help preserve the survival of lavender, encouraging biodiversity to thrive.

Our Lavender Ingredient
We use lavender for its relaxing properties and exquisite scent in our body care products. Being part of a complex of different essential oils, lavender is also used as a key ingredient in some of our hair care products.
French lavender thrives in the region's hot, dry climate and is appreciated for its soothing and healing properties. Growing lavender has also became an essential element of the Provençal landscape and economy. Renowned for its beautiful lavender scent and numerous benefits, this plant has been used for therapeutic purposes for centuries.
The Benefits of Using Lavender Beauty Products
With a soothing and relaxing aroma, lavender is one of the most diversely used herbs. Lavender oil, thanks to its soothing and antibacterial properties which detox the skin, can be used to treat hair loss, infections, allergies and eczema.
With an indulgent scent, lavender essential oil is also often used as a pillow spray as it helps to promote relaxation and sleep. Lavender essential oil can even help relieve tension, as well as decrease the impact of stress on both mind and body, making it the ideal accompaniment for use in massage and physiotherapy treatments.
L'Occitan Collection For Men
The L’Occitan range celebrates classic Provence and its men. The intense blue of the fields of lavender, the red soil of Roussillon, the sun that tans the skin, the siesta in the shade of the olive trees. Products in this range include shaving gels, and after shave balm. The very rawness of the scents of Provence are reflected in our L'Occitan collection.
