Gilchrist & Soames® Introduces Thymes® Eucalyptus Collection
Leading bath and body specialty brand now available
for luxury in-room amenities programs
INDIANAPOLIS - Gilchrist & Soames® today announced that it will add the Thymes® Eucalyptus Collection to its amenities lineup. The Thymes Eucalyptus Collection will be on display at IHMRS booth 2519 and is available to ship immediately.
Kathie De Voe, president of Gilchrist & Soames, says, "We are very happy to partner with Thymes. Their company philosophy and product standards blend very well with our own, and the popular Eucalyptus Collection allows us to present a high-performance product from a well known and well-respected boutique retail brand to our hotel partners."
Thymes is the leading bath and body specialty brand in the United States with a presence in thousands of luxury boutiques and rapid international expansion plans.
Stephanie Shopa, founder and CEO of Thymes, says, "We could not have chosen a better partner than Gilchrist & Soames. Their commitment to quality and eco-friendly corporate practices made the decision easy for us."
The Thymes Eucalyptus Collection contains no sulfates (SLS/SLES), DMDM hydantoin, parabens, phthalates, petrol-derived ingredients, mineral oil, urea, DEA, TEA or propylene glycol.
The fragrance is a fresh blend of invigorating eucalyptus oil, crisp Italian lemon, lime and petitgrain — a scent that not only wakes you up, but leaves you centered, open and ready to take on the day with warmth and vitality.
"Thymes Ecalyptus is perfect for today’s hospitality market. Hoteliers are increasingly seeking ways to bring luxury retail brands to their guests by way of their in-room programs. Thymes affords them that option," says De Voe.
The four Thymes Eucalyptus liquid products—Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash and Body Lotion—are available in a 45 ml (1.5 fl oz) size and packaged in readily recyclable PET. The collection also features two gentle, vegetable-based aloe soaps. The soaps, available in 1 oz (28g) and 1.5 oz (43g), are low-weight to reduce waste. To round out the collection, Thymes Eucalyptus offers a full range of necessity products including a shower cap, vanity kit, pre-thread sewing kit, shoe mitt, dental kit, shave kit and bath salts.
Thymes and Gilchrist & Soames embrace cruelty-free development and manufacturing practices. The products are meticulously tested for safety and effectiveness, but, never ever on animals.
About Thymes
What began as a line of soaps and bath salts inspired by a love of art and nature has grown over the course of almost 30 years to become Thymes, the leading fragrance brand in the U.S. specialty market. Made with essential oils and naturally derived ingredients, the artistically designed products pioneered an entirely new category of botanically-based bath and body products. While the company—and category—have grown since then, Thymes’ mission remains the same: Create beautifully fragranced, gorgeously detailed products formulated with the best possible ingredients to enrich the mind and body, addressing your needs and complementing your life.
