How it works

The moisturizer is formulated to enhance skin comfort and provide nourishment through a combination of key ingredients. Dicaprylyl Ether and Octyldodecyl Myristate contribute to the conditioning of the skin's surface, while Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil act as emollients to soften and smooth the skin. Glycerin draws moisture into the skin, helping to maintain hydration levels. Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides further support the emollient properties. Tocopherol is included for its antioxidant potential, likely intended to protect the skin from environmental stressors. Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate helps to stabilize the cream's consistency as an emulsifying agent.

About the brand

L'Occitane is inspired by the south of France art de vivre and Provençal beauty secrets. It all began in the markets of Provence. With nothing but an alembic, a small truck and a solid knowledge of plants, a 23-year-old named Olivier Baussan began distilling rosemary essential oil to sell locally. He expanded from oils to soaps to creams, taking inspiration from the land he grew up on to bring natural beauty to homes across the world.
