SOMERSET, N.J.—Gilchrist & Soames introduces the Vida Verde amenities collection, an innovative eco-conscious brand that celebrates the beauty of nature while redefining luxury through sustainability and wellness. Each product is crafted with clean, plant-based ingredients, demonstrating a strong commitment to environmental stewardship. Vida Verde has been thoughtfully developed to meet the diverse and evolving needs of luxurious hotels, and their environmentally conscious guests. This brand prioritizes quality and performance and aligns with the growing global demand for eco-friendly solutions, making it an ideal choice for those who value indulgence and sustainability.
At the heart of Vida Verde is the exceptional ingredient, matcha. This natural superfood is rich in nutrients and antioxidants, providing a variety of holistic benefits for hair and skin. Matcha’s properties help to purify, strengthen, revitalize, and deeply moisturize.
What distinguishes Vida Verde is Gilchrist & Soames’ innovative approach to sustainability using upcycled ingredients. By transforming byproducts into high-quality raw materials, the company minimizes waste while improving product quality. The careful selection of essential oils, including lemon, grapefruit, and eucalyptus, enhances the sensory experience, promotes a sense of harmony, and celebrates the power of nature.
In Support of Reforestation
Vida Verde is more than just a personal care collection; it embodies a vibrant movement towards a lifestyle centered on mindfulness and sustainability. The initiative actively supports global reforestation, encouraging individuals to join the collective journey towards conscious living and fostering a healthier planet for future generations.
Through Vida Verde, Gilchrist & Soames is proud to partner with One Tree Planted, an organization committed to restoring ecosystems through targeted tree-planting initiatives in the areas that need it most. As part of this meaningful collaboration, Gilchrist & Soames will donate a portion of its Vida Verde net profits to support tree planting efforts. This initiative allows the company to actively give back to nature and help restore the planet, one tree at a time.
Translating to “Green Life,” Vida Verde has a powerful mission to tackle the widespread issues of single-use products and environmental waste. This initiative aims to reduce the company’s ecological footprint while emphasizing the importance of conserving valuable resources such as water and energy.
Since 2015, all brands under Gilchrist & Soames have achieved Leaping Bunny certification, ensuring their products are cruelty-free. Vida Verde is also certified as vegan by the Vegan Society, addressing consumer demand for ethical beauty solutions.
