Exceptional Soap since 1980. Gentle cleanse, relaxing for the skin.
$20.00
Experience the soothing ritual of Provençal soap-making with our Lavender Shea Soap, crafted using the traditional saponification and cauldron-cooking methods developed by master soap makers in Haute Provence. Enriched with nourishing Shea butter, this gentle soap delicately cleanses hands and body while wrapping skin in absolute comfort.
The relaxing scent of lavender reveals soft floral facets of jasmine, evoking a poetic dream of violet-hued seas basking beneath the zenith sun. Its creamy foam leaves skin clean, supple, and subtly perfumed with the iconic Provencal lavender fragrance.
Each bar is embossed with the Provençale archway, a symbol of Haute Provence architecture that reflects the region’s heritage and creativity. Made from a 100% vegetable base and formulated without palm oil, this vegan soap is suitable for sensitive skin and non-irritating for men, women, and children. Generously sized, it’s ideal for everyday use in the bath or at the sink.
With 99% readily biodegradable ingredients, this soap meets L’Occitane’s Clean Charter standards. L’Occitane also works directly with women’s Shea-processing collectives in West Africa, supporting sustainable harvesting traditions, local communities, and long-term environmental preservation.

Benefits of Shea Butter For Skin
Extracted from the nut of the African shea tree, shea butter is one of the beauty world’s most diverse natural ingredients. Shea butter is renowned for its nourishing properties, treating both oily and dry skin by creating a smooth and soft barrier that seals in moisture. It’s also ideal for use as anything from a daily moisturiser, to a specialist treatment in cases of eczema, chapped lips, razor burn and even nappy rash.
