Meet the Latest Additions to L’OCCITANE's Immortelle Precious Skincare Collection!

On the exotic island of Corsica, France grows an extraordinary flower with outstanding capabilities. Immortelle {it means "golden sun" in Latin}, is a flower that never wilts or fades, even long after it has been picked. In 2001, L’OCCITANE first introduced this everlasting flower to its product range, and since then has continued to develop new innovations every year capturing its rich properties. Recently, L’OCCITANE introduced four new products to the Immortelle Precious collection. As a complete range uniquely created to target emerging fine lines and wrinkles - these new products help skin look and feel smoother and more radiant. {Product provided for review/feature consideration}

Harvested during its peak maturity, Immortelle yields an exceptional oil that boasts a high concentration of anti-aging properties. With five patents pending, L’OCCITANE distills this most precious and potent essential oil to deliver outstanding anti-aging results for skin. Said to be one hundred times more anti-inflammatory than arnica, it takes one ton of immortelle flowers to produce one liter of this coveted oil.

Meet the four new Immortelle Precious products added to this preventative anti-aging collection - a Precious Mist ($16), an Oil Make-Up Remover Cleanser ($28), an Intense Cleansing Foam ($30) and three Precious BB creams ($45) -that will help cleanse and hydrate to reveal more radiant, youthful skin.

· Immortelle Intense Cleansing Foam ($30): enriched with organic immortelle floral water and sunflower seed oil, this ultra-rich cleansing foam lathers to a dense texture to gently purify the face, unclogging pores and traces of makeup, for clean and fresh skin. Apply morning and night to damp skin massage, and rinse off.

· Immortelle Cleansing Makeup Remover Oil ($28): ophthalmologist-approved, this silky, light-weight cleansing oil gently lifts away makeup and dirt without drying out skin. Enriched with immortelle, sunflower seed and apricot oils, it helps to visibly smooth the skin while removing impurities. Apply dry to skin, massage, and rinse for best results.

        

· Immortelle Precious BB Creams ($45): essential for glowing skin, this multi-benefit tinted cream helps to even out skin tone and conceal imperfections. Enriched with immortelle essential oil and naturally derived UV filters, the formula works to help visibly smooth and protect the skin against the damaging effects of the sun (photo-aging). {Currently available in three shades - Fair, Light and Medium - but I'm hoping they'll widen the range to include some more brown girl friendly shades}

· Immortelle Precious Mist ($16): comprised of organic immortelle floral water and soothing chamomile oil, this refreshing, ultra-light and alcohol-free mist gives skin a much-needed hydration boost as it helps moisturize and revitalize the face and body. With an anti-microbial and anti-bacterial formula, it is safe to use at any time of the day for instant hydration.

I have yet to meet the skin care product from L'Occitane that I did not love - and this line is no exception. I'm approaching my mid 30's so my skin care regimen is shifting more towards preventative/anti-aging methods and the Immortelle Precious collection fits right along that line of thought. While I really like the Mist, and Intense Cleansing Foam, my hands down favorite product is the Cleansing Makeup Remover Oil {which should be of no surprise to regular readers}. It melts away all traces of makeup and leaves my skin feeling super clean, soft, and smooth. So it's safe to say that I agree that the Immortelle flower is truly precious! Until next time...
