L'OCCITANE IS INVOLVED FOR A SUSTAINABLE PALM OIL

We do not directly purchase or use palm oil in our formulas. However, our soap noodles and certain derivatives may contain it. We are committed to embody our values in our sourcing approach. When it comes to sourcing our ingredients, we are committed to upholding our values and ensuring the quality, traceability and sustainability of our plant ingredient supply chains. This is why we have launched various initiatives to ensure that we use palm oil responsibly in our products.
