Packed with embryonic tissue, the almond bud holds a highly concentrated version of the tree’s beneficial ingredients. With its ability to recharge cellular circulation and improve drainage, the buds are a surprising solution for stubborn cellulite. L’Occitane’s Almond Line offers incredible benefits to the skin with its ability to smooth, firm and renew elasticity. A customer favorite, the line features the sweet fragrance of almond and leaves skin luxuriously hydrated. By sourcing all of its almonds from Provence, L’Occitane supports the sustainable cultivation of almond trees in the region.
