Loccitane announces launch of new Artichoke Body Care collection marking greater focus on concept of holistic beauty

Each year we look forward to French brand L’Occitane’s new summer launch.  The brand not only innovates to create skin care with key benefits and efficacy but it continues to invest heavily in sustainable sourcing and working collaboratively with their ingredient farmers. This Summer’s unveiling is no exception with the launch of the new Artichoke range.

The launch marks a greater focus on the concept of holistic beauty by the brand. By championing the equal importance of mind, body and soul, the collection embraces the importance of wellness and self-care to deliver high-perfoming skincare.

Why artichokes?

Artichokes, rich in polyphenols and inulin, are recognised for their fat-digesting, diuretic, and cholesterol-fighting properties. To turn this detox superfood into a cosmetic extract, our focus turned to the leaves, which are best known for their medicinal properties. Grown organically in the Drôme region in the south of France, it is sustainably sourced and cultivated by farmers within a French Support and Work Assistance Establishment (ESAT). The range is housed in FSC-Certified packaging, meaning the paper used is obtained from sustainable forestry, this new range continues to align with L’Occitane’s brand values and an ever-present journey to becoming more sustainable.

What’s in the range?

The thinking behind the three new products is centred on how to utilise a more unique approach to alleviate stress and provide a multitude of benefits.  The three pillars behind the approach are:
