At L'OCCITANE, we have a Provence-only rule. But when it comes to special ingredients like Shea Butter, we know how to make an exception. The women of Burkina Faso have been using Shea Butter for centuries to nourish and protect hair and skin. That’s why we’ve teamed up with them to create a sustainable, fair trade supply chain that delivers supreme quality Shea Butter to your beauty routine.
The story of L'OCCITANE and the women shea butter producers of Burkina Faso began in the 1980s. Since then, we've built up a joint development partnership and a close, supportive relationship.
