L'Occitane en Provence 50 Years of Crafting Life Ties
From Provençal Soil to a Global Beauty Maison"The day L'Occitane en Provence was born, there was an alembic, a fire, some rosemary, and many doubts... I did not create a company - I made a gesture." — Olivier Baussan, Founder Founded in 1976 by Olivier Baussan, L'Occitane began with the simple distillation of rosemary essential oil, sold at markets in Haute‑Provence. What started as a humble, instinctive gesture rooted in respect for nature has grown into a global beauty brand present in over 90 countries, with more than 3,000 points of sale and 8,500 employees worldwide. For five decades, L'Occitane has built its identity on meaningful ties - between plants and people, craftsmanship and science, Provence and the world. From Lavender and Shea Butter to Almond and Immortelle, the Maison continues to transform natural ingredients into sensorial, effective, and responsible beauty experiences. 2026: A Pivotal Year of Reinvention As it celebrates 50 years, L'Occitane enters a new era defined by creative renewal, product transformation, and cultural expression.
