Natural skincare company Body Bliss has launched a new category into its Intentional Aromatherapy app, Au Soleil, which allows guests to customise face and body mists poolside, bringing the wellness experience outside the spa.

Using the app and Aroma Design Bar, guests can choose different combinations of essential oils, ranging from calm to uplifting, which will be mixed by ‘blending alchemists’.

The aloe-based products are designed to help fight sun damage and contain a CO2 extract of sea buckthorn berry, which is rich in omega-7s, beta carotenes and vitamins.

“The Aroma Design Bar allows our spa partners to create a personalised, memorable experience for the guest, while supporting and enhancing their wellbeing,” says Nick James, CEO of Body Bliss.

“The new Au Soleil category allows our resort partners to take the spa experience outside. Once the guest chooses their personalised blend, they mist it on and around their face or body to provide cooling re-hydration throughout the day.”

Developed in conjunction with spa consultant Amy McDonald of Under a Tree Health & Wellness Consulting, the mists debuted recently at the Le Guanahani resort in St Barth, where James created a custom blend for the resort’s 30th anniversary.

McDonald is training spa staff in the programme. The front desk, restaurant and bar staff will all be trained as ‘blending alchemists’ as well.
