One thing I like about L’Occitane is their commitment to charity. This is my second time supporting their charity drive.
8th March is International Women’s Day and L’Occitane had came up with a yearly International Women’s Day Soap. How much do you know about this yearly affair? I don’t so I did some searching and I found this.

Thanks to L’Occitane USA website, I managed to find some history.
History of the soap factory told by Maud Reboul, L’OCCITANE’s Sustainable Ingredients Manager
“We chose this soap’s factory two years ago. I go to Burkina Faso every 4 months to meet women and ensure shea butter quality and payments… I met this women, named Barkissa Bassia, in a very small shelter on the main road in Leo. She had one baby in her arms and one little girl hanging from her leg. She was very shy; she didn’t speak fluent French. She explained to me that she produces classic soaps to get additional income in order to help her family. Her husband left home and left her alone with children. She was resolute, determined to live better. We were impressed by her motivation.
Afterwards, she sent me a letter informing me that she has created a small soap factory called NUNUNA. We trained her and other women to produce traditional soaps enriched with shea butter. We sent materials from the L’OCCITANE factory in Manosque (tins, perfume, soap-making process…). In 2010, we gave her an order of 40,000 units – production of the 2011 Women’s Day soap. She hired 6 women to help her to produce. Each woman has bought a bicycle. They also get money to pay for their children’s school. At the moment [March 2011], Barkissa is in Manosque for one month, to be trained by our team in a more advanced soap-making process. Nununa’s factory has now received another order from us of 40,000 units for 2012. Barkissa is a wonder-woman! She told me that Women’s Day represents for her a moment of happiness and time-off. They dance all day long and wear a specific dress with a colorful fabric. LADIES first!”
Yesterday I dropped by L’Occitane outlet in KLCC and I bought 2 soap. Although I don’t need anymore extra soap but this is a charity which I must support.
Women’s Day Soap has a high concentration of shea butter (52%) to moisturise and nourish the hands as it cleanses. The packaging of this soap is inspired by the patterns of the colourful dresses worn by the women of Burkina Faso on International Women’s Day.
The soaps are produced in Burkina Faso as part of a co-development partnership with a local factory which has been run entirely by women since 2010, to support their economic emancipation. 100% of the proceeds* of these soaps will go to the L’OCCITANE Foundation, to help fund the building of literacy centres for women in Burkina Faso, in a collaborative project with the NGO, “Aide et Action.” *Excluding VAT and transport costs.
This soap is retailing at RM20 each. Did anyone of you bought any to support this charity?
As mentioned in my previous post, Crabtree & Evelyn Malaysia had just launched a new range; Avocado, Olive & Basil a few days ago and they are having a special trial price for the whole range from 15th Feb to 18th March 2012.
I drove to Mid Valley after work on Thursday and I came home with more than I wanted initially.
I grabbed 2 Revitalising Bath & Shower Gel 250ml for RM45 each. Original price is RM65 each which makes it RM20 off.
With every purchase of Avocado, Olive & Basil product, I could purchase a “A Love So Beautiful” exclusive set for RM38 each set (worth RM78). And of course I grabbed 2 sets. This exclusive set consists of 2 Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy 25ml and an exclusive pouch which are sewn by groups of rural women in India that are in extreme challenging physical and financial circumstances.
I was also told that Hello Kitty Essentials Set is on discount as well to clear off the remaining stocks as this is 2011 Christmas Set. There are 3 range to choose from; La Source, Nantucket Briar and Summer Hill. I’m ok with the scent of all 3 as I’ve use them before but finally settle with La Source X Hello Kitty Essentials for RM98. Original price is RM138. Thank goodness I didn’t buy any during Christmas last year LOL!! The set includes a full size La Source Relaxing Body Wash 250ml, Relaxing Body Lotion 250ml and a Hello Kitty travel toiletry bag.
The middle section of the Hello Kitty travel toiletry bag is detachable!
And finally my GWP. I received a Avocado, Olive & Basil mini gift set worth RM90 with purchase of RM220 and above. I spent RM264 in total. Another RM56 I got get a tote bag worth RM198 though but because I don’t really like the tote bag and it’s super huge too huge, I make a pass. Oh ya, the GWP mini gift set consists of a Revitalising Bath & Shower Gel 50ml, Skin Revitalising Both Lotion 30ml and a sponge! Better than the tote bag IMHO *cough*
Have you tried the new range at their store? If not do pop in and take a sniff. You’d love the scent of the Avocado, Olive & Basil range! Remember to grab a set of “A Love So Beautiful” as the rural women in India who sewn the exclusive pouch included will benefit from this program. I myself will drop by Crabtree & Evelyn tomorrow to grab more!
