The Ourika Community Gardens was started in 2013 as a socially responsible program connected to the Earth––living proof of the brand’s commitment to sustainability.
Today, at this remarkable site that is home to more than 200 plant species, the brand continues to help empower communities of women to better their financial situation and life circumstances through a co-created co-operative.

Beyond the Gardens, YSL Beauty has also
worked more broadly throughout the
Ourika Valley region since 2017 to plant
trees and restore arid land, so far planting
over 125,000 trees in an area whose
primary ecological risk is rising
temperatures, deforestation, and frequent
natural disasters. In 2021, YSL Beauty
reaffirmed its commitment to this project
and the surrounding lands, which aligned
with the UN Decade on Ecosystem
Restoration.
