A velvet complexion like the edelweiss

Everyone now swears by Spas and the mountain regions are not the last on the list. It should be remembered, even so, that it is a Megève citizen, passionate about beauty, who has initiated this amazing phenomenon. Jocelyne Sibuet has imagined the «Fermes de Marie»; this lovely hamlet of farms rebuilt in the heart of the village, at the end of the 80s, with Jean Louis her husband.  Rapidly, she has installed a Spa close to the swimming pool with one idea in mind which has never left her: to create her own face and body beauty line of products which use the legendary qualities of the mountain plants so resistant to cold, snow, rain and wind.

Meeting a Savoyard nursery gardener has done the rest. Of course, there was no question to go and plunder the summits to steal their gentians, melissa, hazelnuts, juniper and above all edelweiss. First of all it is forbidden, and it wouldn't even enter their minds!

It is on the heights of Chambéry that the expert grows the stars of the snows, which, since thousands of years have kept their velvet complexion in the wintry weather, ice, and blizzard. The Pure Altitude line was born!

You can now find products such as: the repairing balm of the mountains (with notably, beeswax, rose, coriander, woodland pine and raspberry oil), the lip balm rose dragée Gourmandise of the Alpes, the face cream Edelweiss N°2, exfoliating cream for the body with three minerals (malachite, rhodochrosite and quartz) and the body cream "Like Snow". All this at more than 200 selling points in France, such as «le Bon Marché », «le Printemps» and «les Galeries Lafayette» and, naturally in the Spas of the « Compagnie des Hôtels de Montagne » and also by correspondence and on sale via the Internet.
