In 2004, Maison L’Occitane en Provence launched its first large-scale immortelle plantation programme in Corsica, in partnership with local producers. Helichrysum italicum, also known as immortelle, is a signature ingredient used across a range of our skincare products. Known for its age-defying and regenerative properties, it is both natural and gentle, thanks to the high concentration of neryl acetate found in Corsican flowers. Driven by data and guided by sustainability, L’Occitane en Provence is committed to: ✅ Using 100% wild seeds to preserve the plant’s genetic heritage. ✅ Avoiding genetic pollution to protect biodiversity. ✅ Respecting nature through manual weeding, no pesticides and no artificial irrigation. 🎬 Discover the story behind this remarkable flower in our short film. #LOCCITANEGroup #MaisonLOccitaneenProvence #Sustainability #Biodiversity
What a wonderful action 💙💛
Such a beautiful commitment to nature & tradition! The work with immortelle in Corsica shows how sustainability and science can truly go hand in hand.
Un bel exemple d’engagement concret où innovation, préservation des ressources et valorisation des savoir-faire locaux se rejoignent. L’immortelle illustre bien comment un ingrédient peut incarner à la fois efficacité, naturalité et respect de la biodiversité. Excellente démarche Groupe L'OCCITANE, surtout dans un secteur où la traçabilité et l’impact environnemental deviennent des critères incontournables.
