Terre d'Oc - Certified organic and Fair Trade cosmetics
Terre d'Oc is one of our favorite brands. And there are many reasons why we like them and I'm sure that after reading this article you will too.
Terre d'Oc is a French brand located in the heart of Provence made up of a team of 50 people. The values that characterize the brand are fair trade and certified organic ingredients .
What are your values
Fair trade because only in this way can we fight against monoculture and perpetuate family farming by combating child labor and inequality. They work with small producers, cooperatives and small plantations.
Organic because organic farming is not a whim, it is pure necessity. This is attested to by the fact that pesticides are present in most rivers and groundwater. These pesticides are suspected of being carcinogenic and/or neurotoxic.
It is not strange then that all the brand's products are certified by ECOCERT. (the most demanding organism of all) and formulated with ingredients such as Argan and Prickly Pear from Morocco or Shea Butter from Burkna Faso.
Terre d'Oc is committed to global ecological action, which translates into the following attitudes in its production processes:
- Make sustainable use of the planet's resources and true eco-design work
- Use reduced packaging from sustainable forests, printed with vegetable inks
- Factory certified by ISO14001, Application of the ISO 22716 European cosmetics standard

- Financing aid projects for those most in need through solidarity products whose benefits are reverted to NGOs
