Men and women alike who enjoy luxurious skin products agree that L'occitane is more of an experience than just a brand. From the moment you enter the store, your nose is delighted with the French scents that make the expensive products justifiable. Most would agree that the luxurious wrapping on every item product whether it is $8or $80 is the icing on the cake, but those people only think that is the best part because they are unaware that it is naturally safe for the environment.
L'occitane products are made from plant products with the exception of the beehive line. L'occitane uses plant oils instead of mineral oils, which are not nearly as natural. All of their products are tested under medical supervision and have not been tested on animal products in the past 30 years.
L'occitane shopper, Nicole Kavanuagh agrees that L'occitane is worth the money and happy that it is good for the environment.
"I care about the quality of the product I am putting on my face. I love L'occitaine products and feel a little prestige to owning it", said Kavanaugh.
I agree with Kavanaugh that there is something prestigous about L'occitane. Two years ago, when I visited the Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale, I was delighted to find the L'occitane lotions and soaps as amenities in the room. Now that I am writing for the CatScan and just found out about their natural and organic nature, I not only appreciate those amenities as a luxury item, but a contribution on a grand scale to purchase organically.
Throughout my blog this semester, I have been encouraging people to stay at hotels that use eco friendly methods. However, even I never thought about how beneficial earth friendly amenities were. Think about it with me. If there are 300 rooms,occupied every night and have the amenities replaced every day, that is 108,000pairs of the lotion and soap that are being purchased instead of products that are harmful.
L'occitane is an example of a company that has mainstreamed their product without changing their main values:
authenticity
simplicity
sensory pleasure
respect for people and the planet
I am changed after learning about this company and will continue to make eco- friendly purchases directly at stores, and indirectly, by staying at hotels that are trying to make a difference.
