We envisioned a line of products based on pure, Fine Lavender that would offer consumers all the cosmetic and therapeutic benefits. Based on the ancient art of aromatherapy which uses lavender essences from natural plant sources to heal the body. Cote Lavande products combine traditional Haute-Provence craftsmanship with current advances in technology and body care to truly make a difference in the way one looks and feels. Fine Lavender is a special plant that only grows above 2,600 feet and only on dry and stony ground. Combined with a mild, sunny climate and the knowledge of the producers, it has, like fine wine, been given its own certification by the French government. Labeled "A.O.C." , this certificate is a guarantee of an exceptional, high quality product. We believe that the AOC lavender oil from Haute-Provence in each Cote Lavande bath and body product promotes a beneficial response for the body and mind and is an important part of stress-free living on a day-to-day basis. All of the other ingredients we use in Cote Lavande are selected as well to be rich in vitamins and minerals and to contribute valuable benefits to our products. Naturally none of our formulations are tested on animals, nor do we use any animal ingredients in them. And of course we never use artificial fragrances or fillers in our products. We also believe that we need to do our part in protecting Mother Nature's offerings so all our packaging is composed of recyclable materials such as plastic, glass and aluminum.
