INDIANAPOLIS—Gilchrist & Soames announces the introduction of its Forest Essentials Collection. The collection, which offers hoteliers and their guests luxurious and eco-friendly toiletry products, will be on display at the International Hotel/Motel & Restaurant Show in New York City in booth 2756. The show will be held November 9 to 11 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
This collection, which is available now, is the first to use Gilchrist & Soames’ new proprietary Naturally Kind formulations, which contain no sulfates (SLS/SLES), DMDM hydantoin, parabens, phthalates, petrol-derived ingredients, mineral oil, urea, DEA, TEA or propylene glycol. They do feature food-grade, naturally derived USP glycerin; natural conditioning agents from honey and the Brassica plant; and soybean and cottonseed oil, instead of petrochemicals. The formulations are also free of any artificial colors or dyes.
“We are proud to introduce our Naturally Kind formulations,” says Christina Mavity, Gilchrist & Soames’ Research and Development Director. “The surfactant products, shampoo and shower gel are sulfate-free, yet create rich and satisfying foam and give guests the experience they expect from luxury bath and body amenities. As well, the body lotion in our premium formulations contains Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) of olive oil and vitamin E.”
Helpful Vitamins Included
The four Forest Essentials liquid products—Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash and Body Lotion—are available in both 30 ml (1 fl. oz.) and 60 ml (2 fl. oz.). The luxurious liquids include a blend of aloe, Provitamin B5 and Vitamin E, ingredients known for their soothing and nourishing properties.
The packaging features a soft, fresh color palette and nature-inspired graphics to convey the ethos of the collection. The tube resin is highly recyclable high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with dispensing caps for ease of use.
The collection also offers three gentle, vegetable-based soaps that contain copaiba oil, known for its emollient, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and aloe for its moisturizing and softening effects. The soaps are available in 1.25 oz. (35g) and 3 oz. (85g) sizes.
Multiple Fragrances
The liquids and soaps feature the fresh and gender-neutral Forest Essentials fragrance, which opens with top notes of green cucumber and an ozone accord, followed by a heart of violet, apple, muguet and jasmine, and supported by a soft woody base.
To round out the collection, Forest Essentials offers a full range of necessity products in complementary packaging.
Like all Gilchrist & Soames products, Forest Essentials embraces cruelty-free development and manufacturing practices, ensuring that the products are never tested on animals, nor contain animal-derived ingredients.
