PARIS, February 3rd 2015 – Groupe GM, international player in the hotel amenities industry, is to launch a new organic oat-based amenity line with long-term partners and French leaders in the cosmetics industry, Yves Rocher.

The Organic Oats – Les Plaisirs Nature (French for “Nature’s Pleasure”) hotel line is based on the range of the same name sold in Yves Rocher retail outlets globally. All products in the line are enriched with organic oats extracts, a calming and softening cereal that soothes and protects the skin.

Visionary since 1959, Yves Rocher creates the link between plants and female beauty via their innovative cosmetics, Cosmétique Végétale® (Botanical Beauty). This has made way for the Yves Rocher brand to position itself as the authority on plant-based cosmetics. It was in this spirit that the line of amenities Les Plaisirs Nature – Organic Oats was created.

Protecting the environment has been a major part of the Yves Rocher culture for over 50 years, taking steps to better control and reduce environmental impact at each stage in the life cycle of their products. Paraben free, Les Plaisirs Nature – Organic Oats contains no animal ingredients and boasts active ingredients extracted directly from plants.

“Groupe GM and Yves Rocher have a long shared history marked by successful collaboration, most recently introducing Un Matin au Jardin – Citrus Flower,” commented Véronique Gohmann, International Head of Marketing and Communication at Yves Rocher. “Les Plaisirs Nature – Organic Oats seemed to be the natural complement to our hotel product offering. It is based on one of our best-selling ranges, enriched with organic oat extracts, which give hotel guests a unique sensory experience, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of the oats, with a reassuring and protective sweetness, like an enveloping cocoon.”

“We are very pleased to be able to offer the Les Plaisirs Nature – Organic Oats line to our clients,” added Laurent Marchand, President of Groupe GM. “We have worked with Yves Rocher for over 20 years and sharing the same environmental commitment. “We are confident that this latest product line will resonate with our clients looking to offer their guests natural, high-quality products with a subtle, sensual aroma.”

The new Yves Rocher hotel amenity line comprises Shower Gel, Shampoo, Hair & Body Gel, Silky Lotion and Conditioner in 30ml (1 fl.oz.) translucent tubes and two Allegro soaps in 20g and 40g, as well as an elegant bamboo display tray. The line is complemented by 300ml Ecopump dispensers. A matching accessory line is available in cardboard boxes, featuring a shower cap, cotton buds, shoe care, sewing kit and dental set.
