L'Occitane Almond

Soothe your body and mind with the radiant power of Provencal almonds. L'Occitane has bottled this phenomenal nut in the Amande product line - a range of oils, shower gels, moisturizers and skin-firming treatments that cleanse and smooth the skin.

The almond nut, which grows protected in a beautifully soft and green velvet shell, is known for its ability to soften and smooth the skin.

A source of softness for your skin and hair: almonds

L'Occitane uses almonds from Haute Provence, which come from a dedicated family farm. From the heart of this tiny fruit, L'Occitane extracts sweet almond oil, an ingredient known for its nourishing properties, found in the Amande product line.

An ingredient in all its forms

A true treasure of nature, the almond is rich in vitamins and minerals. The almond is best known in its vegetable oil form, which is wonderful for pampering us thanks to its cosmetic properties.

But the oily state is not the only form we can use. At L'Occitane, almond is used in all its textures, oil, butter, crushed shells, protein and milk. This is how to take advantage of all the benefits of this high-quality ingredient!
