L'Occitane en Provence - Bicester Village

L'Occitane is committed to capturing and preserving the essence of the breath-taking natural environment of the region. L'Occitane has its beginnings in the markets of Provence, where 23-year-old Olivier Baussan began the business with nothing more than an alembic, a small truck and a solid knowledge of plants. He began distilling rosemary essential oil to sell locally and later expanded production from oils to soaps and creams, taking inspiration from the land he grew up in to bring natural beauty to homes across the world."

Respecting the environment is at the heart of L’Occitane’s ethos; from the creation of formulas to the development of packaging, the brand aims to limit its impact on the environment wherever possible.

For its latest recycling initiative, L’Occitane has partnered with TerraCycle to offer a simple solution for recycling empty beauty products. Simply bring your empty cosmetics packaging from any brand into the L’Occitane boutique at Bicester Village, where it will be recycled for you, and in return you’ll receive 10% off one full size product bundle.
