Organic Lavender From Provence Organic Lavender From Provence

Organic Lavender From Provence

50% of lavender in Provence is at risk of fading out. Our White Lavender range has been introduced to help preserve the survival of lavender, encouraging biodiversity to thrive.​

Our lavender produced in Provence and registered as a protected designation of origin *(PDO) which guarantees the quality and traceability of the essential oil. *(Protected Designation of Origin) label - a guarantee of quality and traceability)


This much-loved flower, so symbolic of Provence, is suffering as a result of climate change. Since 2012, L'OCCITANE has been working with French ecological research institutes to find ways to save lavender, such as selecting new varieties of plants and using innovative cultivation techniques.

OUR MISSION:

To protect 1,000 species & varieties of plants by 2025

In UK, we are working on a planting tree program with PUR Project, aimed at restoring the migration corridors in key areas for endangered flora and fauna species across the South UK and Victorian border. By planting trees in these areas, we will be supporting the biodiversity of local species as well as boosting agroforestry in farming communities.

HOW L'OCCITANE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE HOW L'OCCITANE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE

HOW L'OCCITANE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE

  1. Ensuring our ingredients are traceable from the field to the final product.
  2. We are protecting the environment by replanting hedgerows and orchards, and supporting organic farming.

TREES ARE AT THE HEART OF BIODIVERSITY

A tree brings so much to our planet. They clean our air, purify our water, protect wildlife and provide shelter & shade. Today, woodlands are facing a major crisis due to developments, climate change & disease. It is crucial this catastrophe is addressed and that is why we are so proud to be supporting PUR Projet, who to date have already planted 8.5 million trees worldwide and won’t stop there.

The Réotier Spring is a Natural Treasure

And it Must Remain So…
And it Must Remain So…

And it Must Remain So…

The extraordinary site of the Réotier spring must be protected. We worked with experts and conducted studies that took into account the biodiversity, landscape, geology, as well as the fauna and flora of this area. It was essential for us to ensure we could use this spring's incredible water without any negative impact on water flow or the surrounding environment. That's why we never collect more than 0.04% of the spring's annual discharge.
