Léa Nature, committed to nature

Based in La Rochelle.

Remain true to ourselves, in line with the values we uphold. This goal is hsared by all of us and represents our path to fulfilment, in perfect balance with who we are. It’s also been Léa Nature’s phylosophy for over 30 years. We have made protecting the environment and safeguarding people’s health our priorities… and these are not empty words ! 

The original idea was to preserve health through plants and natural ingredients. Offering healthy food and safe cosmetics to as many people as possible, through an organic, natural range, has become our credo ! This genuine wish to do things properly and to do good has been expressed across all our ranges : It’s our green thread !

Léa Nature and organic : a coherent approach

It’s all very well being organic, but this initiative only makes sens if we manage to limit our impact on nature. With its brands, Léa Nature makes it priority to use local supply chains when developing its products, to design eco-friendly, recyclable packaging, and to minimise the impact of its tranport of logistics flows… And above all to manufacture its products in France. In the background, one imperative : to leave as few traces as possible from our activities, but also to support local economic development, and to be rooted in our regions so as to give fresh impectus to our values.

Léa Nature has chosen organic framing and all farming models that respect human health and the environment : agroecology, agroforestry, biodynamics, permaculture.

Léa Nature brands support projects that focus on :

• supporting the development of sustainable small-scale farming (organic farming, agroecology, permaculture, etc.);
• combating the main obstacles to sustainable farming (GMOs, pesticides);
• reforestation and biodiversity conservation.
