L’Occitane Celebrates Columbus Day

Happy BCB Eco-Friday everyone!  And Happy Columbus Day Weekend to those of you who are lucky enough to have a three-day weekend!  Being in the industry I am, I rarely have a holiday off and honestly forget which ones warrant a day off for most people.  But I can’t really complain because at least I can partake in the lovely holiday sales that most department stores and several brands participate in.

This Columbus Day Weekend L’Occitane will offer Free Standard Shipping on any order over $40.  L’Occitane is definitely a worthy skin care brand to be featured on this BCB Eco-Friday, as it is a brand based on strong values of respect for both man and the environment.

In 1989, beyond the Mediterranean, L’OCCITANE initiated a sustainable development program in Burkina Faso around the production of shea butter. In 1997, it introduced Braille labeling on its packaging for the first time. And in 2006, it created the first large-scale organic immortelle plantation in Corsica, to protect the integrity of the Corsican maquis… It supports three causes in particular: ones that are dear to the brand and its history; literacy and support for women in developing countries; the fight against blindness and assistance for the visually impaired; and finally, the preservation of threatened traditional cultivations.

Until next time everyone…  xoxo
