As it turns out, almonds are a multifaceted nut that not only offers nutritional benefits but a host of skincare benefits too. Boasting hydrating and softening properties and packed with vitamin E, the humble almond is a nut that rightfully earns its place as the star ingredient of L’Occitane’s Almond Collection.

By soaking, blending and extracting the natural properties of the almond, a plethora of nutrient-rich body creams and butters will be at your disposal. L’Occitane’s Almond Collection has done just that, bottling the magical properties of almonds from the Alps de Haute Provence in France into a range of scrubs, balms and oils worth adding to your beauty shelf.
