If you're looking for upscale, natural skin care, L'Occitane offers a nice cross between Bathpetal's personal and soothing feel and Spalook's quality of products.
Using traditional techniques and ingredients once used in the region of Provence for well being, this manufacturer's philosophy appeals nicely to those interested in imported goods. The site's simplistic and Old World feel are clear and present throughout, with the company's commitment to traditional beauty care.

The very sense of being transported to another country where lavender fields are rife is probably the best encouragement to trust the products of this website. One can almost breathe the clean air, sensing instinctively that L'Occitane's products will help defy natural aging.
But on aromatic bath salts and home spa offerings, this site does fall a little short. While there are plenty of beauty care products that beg to become part of a health care routine, those in search of bath relaxation using aromatic bath salts, fragrant candles and soothing products may be disappointed. No matter, though; purchasing a wonderful cobalt-blue jar of Precious Cream moisturizer makes everyone feel better.
Navigating the site to purchase anything will take some time and clicking around if you're shopping by category, so be prepared. While the site does have integrated online shopping, finding it is a challenge and looping around in circles might increase frustration, not encourage relaxation. Save time by shopping by range – the meaning of which we have yet to discover. It does work, though, and that's all that counts.
Prices are on the higher end of the range and could be out of reach for some women. Take into consideration that these products are organically traditional and imported from Provence, and the expense can be forgiven.
There are gift kits available, as well as a gift-wrapping service option at checkout. There is a newsletter for exclusive offers, company updates and promotions, and invitations to events. The site does lack on beauty and skin care advice, though what each product offers is clearly outlined. A sampling program offers up to three free samples with any purchase.
