L`OCCITANE, a true story.
L’OCCITANE, a true story. 2008 Catalog Bénédicte Menanteau, executive director of the L’OCCITANE Foundation. Since its creation, L’OCCITANE has continued to grow and has found its meaning in its desire to share projects with others: the revival of forgotten cultivations (such as the immortelle or almond tree), co-development with the women who collect shea butter in Burkina Faso, and programs to help the visually impaired (with Braille labeling and a partnership with the NGO ORBIS, since 1999). Today, these projects are supported by the L’OCCITANE Foundation. «It was absolutely essential that every member of the L’OCCITANE workforce should identify with our work», explains Bénédicte Menanteau, who heads the Foundation. «And so we chose three fields of action that are rooted in the history of the brand: visual impairment, support for enterprising women in developing countries, and developing and safeguarding the knowledge of Nature in Provence». The Foundation does more than just finance worthy projects; more often than not, it is the Foundation that initiates them. As for projects that are conducted in coordination with other institutions, the Foundation always strives to participate in as many ways as possible, and particularly by making available to those institutions the time and skills that L’OCCITANE has to give. Bénédicte Menanteau defines her mission by: «We take the best that the company has to offer, and we make it grow». Main actions in 2006-2007: - ORBIS operation, 2007: «a soap to save sight», in October. - Financing of a project to prevent blindness in Burkina Faso: an anthropological study organized by the CNRS (French National Scientific Research Center), the results of which will be used for a prevention and treatment campaign. - Creation and implementation of qualified training, aimed at helping the visually impaired to enter working life. - Creation and construction of a literacy center for women and girls in Burkina Faso, with the Bangre Noma association. - Restoration of the Salagon ethno-botanical garden (in Provence). Our commitment to the environment: this catalogue is printed on paper from sustainably managed forests. www.loccitane.com 3 253581 142509 Document and illustrations non-contractual, subject to stock availability.

Collecting, harvesting, picking olives, gathering grapes… Through them all, I discovered, with L’OCCITANE, a passion for skills and techniques and a desire to pass them on. In every bottle, behind every label, are wonderful scents and expert skincare. But there are also tales of encounters, of know-how carried down from one generation to the next, and of human adventures… The L’OCCITANE Foundation has now entered its second year. This is not the end of the story, but a new beginning… In Burkina Faso, alongside the plant where shea butter is processed for L’OCCITANE, the Foundation has now officially opened a literacy training center for girls and women. Its name is Bangre Noma – which means, in the Moré language, «there is nothing greater than knowledge.» Given the tremendous scale of what needs to be done in the region, this project is almost insignificant, a mere drop in the ocean. But it is through such a project that the brand exists and finds its meaning and purpose. Ever since that day when I used my first still, over thirty years ago, each of our choices has been guided by this dual desire: to protect and to hand down. Olivier Baussan, L’OCCITANE Founder. Our commitments Natural products We follow the principles of phytotherapy and aromatherapy, use no animal products (except for beehive products: honey, royal jelly and propolis) and test our products under medical supervision. We prefer to use plant oils in our face care formulas rather than mineral oils. We limit the use of silicones, chemical sunscreens, paraben preservatives and also offer Ecocertcertified organic formulas. The environment Our active ingredients are of plant origin and, as far as possible, derived from organic agriculture. Both our products and the materials used in our boutiques are designed to respect the environment. We limit the use of packing material and the cardboard, paper and wood that we use comes from sustainably managed forests. Our production factory also sorts and recycles its waste and limits its energy consumption. Respect For 30 years we have chosen not to test our products on animals. We have also been committed to supporting traditional production methods by using AOC (controlled origin label) ingredients, Ecocert-certified organic ingredients and through codevelopment (Shea Butter in Burkina Faso). We lead a program of action to help the visually impaired by the use of Braille labeling on most of our products.

Each ingredient is used for a specific need and skin type: - Almond-Apple: protection against the first signs of aging. - Immortelle: for anti-aging action and a more even complexion. What is a L’OCCITANE product? By Jean-Louis Pierrisnard, director of the Research and Development department. Above all, it is the choice of ingredients that defines a L’OCCITANE product. In terms of quality and traceability, our criteria are very strict and rigorous. We always strive to use natural ingredients of plant origin and, whenever possible, derived from organic agriculture. - Shea Butter: nourishing care and protection for dry skin. - Shea & Cotton: comforting care for sensitive skin. - Olive: radiance-boosting and moisturizing* care for normal and dull skin. - Red Rice: balancing and purifying care for combination and oily skin. But there is also a story behind all of our products, most often related to the land of Provence: a forgotten traditional cultivation (almond); an AOC controlled origin label (lavender, olive); or, as in Burkina Faso, a sustainable development program (shea butter). At the heart of L’OCCITANE there is also a laboratory, which continually explores the principles of aromatherapy and phytotherapy. Defining active ingredients, creating patented complexes… We believe in bringing together time-tested knowledge, nature and research. Our researchers are devoted to creating products that offer not only results, but also pleasure. From its texture to its fragrance, a L’OCCITANE product offers a delicious moment of sensory delight. •4 * upper layers of the epidermis. •5 2.

Until then, this flower of the Corsican 2. landscape had never been successfully domesticated. However, once its extraordinary anti-aging properties had been discovered, it became highly sought after. The picking of wild 1. 3. immortelle became increasingly common, putting at risk the beauty of the Corsican landscape. Stephan Francisi planted the first five hectares, between Bastia and Porto-Vecchio. He became an Immortelle farmer through the L’OCCITANE 5. development program and chose to use methods that are respectful of organic farming. His yellow flowers need no treatment or fertilizers. These beautiful plants are hardy and robust; they are used to the poor, arid soil of the landscape. In early 2008, Stephan Francisi will be planting five more hectares of immortelle on his land.

Cécile de Verdelhan, who has worked as Marketing Director at L’OCCITANE for the last seven years, tells us how a brilliant idea comes to life… «Sometimes, the idea comes directly from our customers. We listened to what the teams from our boutiques had to say and we understood that women aged 25 to 35 feel that they 1. are too young to buy a traditional anti-wrinkle cream (which is, moreover, not suitable for their skin), but they do want to fight the first signs of aging… We had wanted to use the firming and softening 2. 3. properties of the almond in a face care product. That’s where L’OCCITANE Research came in. Our research department found that the apple was a source of three valuable active ingredients: protective polyphenols, malic acid 4. (which brightens the complexion) and cider vinegar (which tightens pores). And it just so happens that Provence is the biggest apple-producing region in France! There is one ingredient that will always be included in a L’OCCITANE product: pleasure. Our researchers develop products with exquisite textures and mouth-watering scents. This new range was tested for a month by women aged 25 to 35. Photos of their skin showed a 28% reduction in the size of pores. And they were very satisfied! 92% said their skin was smoother, more elastic and more beautiful. Finally, Olivier Baussan designed a label, jars and bottles so that the packaging would evoke the true story behind the contents inside». 3. Velvet Concentrate This velvety face cream contains a unique combination of active ingredients: • Almond proteins and silicon to improve skin’s elasticity and smooth fine lines. • Organic apple extract to refine skin’s texture. • Organic cider vinegar to tighten pores. • Almond milk to nourish and soften skin.

L’OCCITANE has succeeded in capturing its excellent moisturizing properties in Assétou Nikiema, President of the UPROKA group. well-dressed women with a bicycle and, increasingly often, with a moped. many of its products, to provide special and tender care for dry skin. The Bangre Noma Center, whose name means «there is nothing greater than knowledge» is a literacy training center for girls and women in Burkina Faso. It was built next to the plant that processes shea nuts for L’OCCITANE. The L’OCCITANE Foundation SKINCARE Shea Butter Shea Butter «Some of the results of L’OCCITANE’s actions are obvious, such as is keen to have a presence in the very place where these women work, situated alongside the company production plant. This will give the women a real opportunity to be independent, by providing them with the education they lack. The center consists of different areas: one for classes, one for looking after the women’s children and providing them with meals, and a vegetable garden – a source of Vitamin A, which is important in the fight against blindness. The aim of this project is to teach 150 women a year to read and write and to provide them with training on three levels: basic training, in the Moré language, practical training focused on production techniques, and complementary training, in French. In this way, the women can increase their proficiency and train in specific work skills, thus enabling them to bring in new revenue. • 12 • 13 Effectiveness test: after 24 hours, hydration is increased by 43%.

Serge Griotto chose to use organic methods to cultivate his Camargue rice fields - which he inherited from his father. His reasons for this were quite simple: he wanted to produce a pure, «clean» rice, free of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and also because Camargue’s ecosystem is a fragile one. It is important to preserve the balance between the water, sky and land. One day, in 1982, Serge’s father, René Griotto, noticed two ears of rice that stood out from the rest in his rice fields at 3. the foot of the Montmajour Abbey. When he husked them, he discovered that the grains were covered by a red pericarp… This organic red rice from Camargue is the fruit of Nature’s work – the result of a cross between a wild rice and a cultivated rice.

One of his main missions is to explore the components and properties of Mediterranean plants and fruits in order to create new ranges. So, when L’OCCITANE decided to support a program to revive the cultivation of the almond tree in Provence, Jean-Louis Pierrisnard and his team wanted to look further than the well-known qualities of the sweet almond – famous for its nourishing properties.

Since its creation, L’OCCITANE has continued to grow and has found its meaning in its desire to share projects with others: the revival of forgotten cultivations (such as the immortelle or almond tree), co-development with the women who collect shea butter in Burkina Faso, and programs to help the visually impaired (with Braille labeling and a partnership with the NGO ORBIS, since 1999). Today, these projects are supported by the L’OCCITANE Foundation. «It was absolutely essential that every member of the L’OCCITANE workforce should identify with our work», explains Bénédicte Menanteau, who heads the Foundation. «And so we chose three fields of action that are rooted in the history of the brand: visual impairment, support for enterprising women in developing countries, and developing and safeguarding the knowledge of Nature in Provence». The Foundation does more than just finance worthy projects; more often than not, it is the Foundation that initiates them. As for projects that are conducted in coordination with other institutions, the Foundation always strives to participate in as many ways as possible, and particularly by making available to those institutions the time and skills that L’OCCITANE has to give. Bénédicte Menanteau defines her mission by: «We take the best that the company has to offer, and we make it grow». Main actions in 2006-2007: - ORBIS operation, 2007: «a soap to save sight», in October. - Financing of a project to prevent blindness in Burkina Faso: an anthropological study organized by the CNRS (French National Scientific Research Center), the results of which will be used for a prevention and treatment campaign. - Creation and implementation of qualified training, aimed at helping the visually impaired to enter working life. - Creation and construction of a literacy center for women and girls in Burkina Faso, with the Bangre Noma association. - Restoration of the Salagon ethno-botanical garden (in Provence). Our commitment to the environment: this catalogue is printed on paper from sustainably managed forests. www.loccitane.com 3 253581 142509 Document and illustrations non-contractual, subject to stock availability.
