Over A Century of Heritage
Founded in 1916, we are a brand, a family and a farm that is redefining the industry through innovative practices and an unwavering commitment to sustainability and clean beauty.
Three Sisters, One Vision
Jacqueline, Allison, and Elaine Taylor grew up immersed in their family’s organic plum farm. Inspired by their heritage and driven by innovation, they transformed the family legacy into Le Prunier—a groundbreaking skincare brand that harnesses the Power of Plum®. Together they blend tradition, sustainability, and science to redefine clean beauty.
4 Generations of History
In 2018, the Taylor sisters collectively founded Le Prunier, an organic beauty line based on The Power of Plum®. The sisters built Le Prunier from an ancestral legacy that began in 1916 with their great grandfather who farmed the rich soils of Northern California, laying the seeds for four generations of family-operated farming. At the heart of the harvests, luscious purple-red California plums.
The Power of Plum®
Spending their youth immersed in farmer’s markets, seasonal harvests and tradeshows, the sisters helped promote the family’s rapidly growing farm. In 1985, the Taylor Family shifted to organic farming methods and expanded operations to Asia and Europe. In their travels with their father, the Sisters discovered how the culture of the Caucasus region of Western Asia regards the dried plum as the “Fruit of Life”. In 2014, the Taylor sisters reexamined the skincare benefits of the farm’s main commodity and partnered with two world-renowned beauty labs.
Tradition Meets Innovation®
While maintaining the family’s sustainable, organic farming practices, the Taylor sisters unlocked the extraordinary beauty benefits of this powerful fruit. Handcrafted from the Taylor’s sun-drenched plum orchards, Le Prunier is a most precious and powerful oil. Today, the sisters carry on the farm’s legacy with a 4th generation perspective.
