    Did you know that L'OCCITANE writes the names of its products in braille on most of its packaging? Since 2000, it has fundraising products in stores to help save the sight of at-risk communities in South Africa, Burkina Faso and China.

    In 2018, it partnered with Sight to Sky, a Singaporean NGO that provides high-impact, low-cost eye care to the people in the Himalayan belt. Together, they aim to treat 5,000 more patients by 2020. For 2019, it is helping communities in Ladakh, one of the world's most remote regions, where one third of the population is believed to have eye problems.

    Shoppers can do their part by purchasing a #RaceForVision SG Race Pack, which contains a trio of hand creams. All sales proceeds will go towards Sight To Sky's vision mission.
