The Summer Edit
SUMMER CARE FOR
SKIN, HAIR & SCENT
Summer is a season that settles on the skin.
Light lingers longer, warmth softens textures, and scent becomes part of the air around you. It is a time when the way your skin feels fresh, comfortable, cared for, shapes the rhythm of the day.
A sensory guide
Summer Beauty, the Provençal Way
At L’Occitane en Provence, every formula begins in nature. For over fifty years, the brand has drawn from the landscapes of Haute-Provence. Almond trees, lavender fields, sun-warmed earth to create care that is both effective and sensorial. This summer edit brings together a selection of body care, fragrance and hair essentials designed to accompany the season, from morning rituals to evening moments of restoration.
The morning ritual
A SUMMER BODY EXPERIENCE
Summer mornings invite a slower start. A few moments of care; water, texture, scent. Create a simple ritual that stays with you throughout the day.
Start with Almond Shower Oil, then apply Almond Supple Skin Oil to still-damp skin for a luminous satin finish that catches the light beautifully.
Almond Shower Oil
The Almond Shower Oil is one of our most iconic body care products. Its texture begins as a silky oil and transforms into a delicate milky lather when it meets water. It gently cleanses while helping to maintain the skin’s natural moisture, leaving it soft, supple, and lightly scented with almond. The result is skin that feels comfortable from the moment you step out of the shower. A first gesture of care to begin the day.

Almond Supple Skin Oil
Applied to damp skin, the Almond Supple Skin Oil absorbs quickly, leaving a satin-like finish that enhances the skin’s natural glow. Its lightweight texture makes it suitable for daily use, while the almond scent remains soft and close to the skin. With regular use, it helps improve the feeling of suppleness and smoothness.

Almond Polishing Paste
For a more complete routine, the Almond Polishing Paste can be used once or twice a week. This exfoliating treatment smooths the skin’s texture while nourishing it, leaving it soft and refined.

Shea or Almond?
Our Shea and Almond collections offer two complementary approaches to body care. Both collections reflect L’Occitane’s expertise in creating sensorial body care rooted in natural ingredients.
Shea
The Shea range is known for its rich, comforting textures, designed to nourish and protect dry skin. It is particularly suited to evening routines, when the skin benefits from deeper care.
Almond
The Almond collection offers lighter, more fluid textures that enhance softness and radiance. It is often chosen for daytime use, especially during warmer months.

If your skin craves rich nourishment, lasting comfort and intense hydration.

The Story Behind the Care
L’Occitane en Provence was founded in 1976 in the Haute-Provence region of southern France. A landscape shaped by lavender fields, almond trees, and olive groves.
For over fifty years, the brand has worked closely with producers, sourcing ingredients with care and attention to their origin, quality, and traceability.
Within this summer edit, every product reflects that heritage.
From almonds grown in Provence to lavender harvested in Haute-Provence, each gesture of care is rooted in something real.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which L'Occitane product is best for summer?
The Almond Supple Skin Oil is our top recommendation for summer - it is lightweight, absorbs instantly, and leaves skin with a luminous, satin finish that is perfect for the season. For fragrance, the Verbena Eau de Toilette is the quintessential summer scent: fresh, bright and effortlessly wearable.
Is Shea Butter good to use in summer?
Absolutely. While shea butter is known for its richness, L'Occitane's Shea formulas are expertly balanced to absorb without heaviness. The Shea Ultra Rich Body Cream is ideal as an evening treatment - applied after showering before bed, it works overnight to deeply nourish and repair, leaving skin supple and radiant by morning.
What is the best L'Occitane gift for summer?
The Almond BodyCare Set is the perfect summer gift - it introduces the recipient to L'Occitane's most iconic body care collection in a beautifully packaged format. For something more personal, a fragrance from the Neroli Orchidée or Verbena range makes a deeply considered and memorable gift.
How do I get the most out of the Lavender collection in summer?
Layer the Lavender Eau de Toilette with the Lavender Pillow Mist for a complete sensory ritual. The pillow mist transforms your sleep environment into something calm and restorative - and since skin repairs itself most effectively overnight, this combination serves both your wellbeing and your beauty routine simultaneously.
