From Australia to Asia, the U.S. and the U.K., surprised consumers around the globe are saying, “Hello,” to Sawadee Spa products, which help them relive the fresh-from-the-spa feeling at home, while the line provides a retail opportunity to spa owners and managers.
With a Thai name that translates into a warm welcome, a luxurious line of natural spa products is brought together by Swiss-born and current Thailand resident Didier Wittmer. An entrepreneur and successful business developer of a freight forwarding company, he refers to his family’s personal experience living in Thailand, and use of ordinary showering products. “Our skin was irritated as a result of the several showers a day we needed to take.” Visiting local spa facilities introduced Wittmer to applications that
“left our skin feeling nice and soft, and were helping our skin to return to normal. The ointments and creams soothed our skin and literally had us saying, ‘Hello,’ or ‘Sawadee’ with enthusiasm.”
The result of skin-friendly treatments motivated Wittmer to prepare the Sawadee Spa collection, which is recognized more for what it doesn’t
include, such as:
. No dyes
. No artificial fragrances
. No parabens
. No sulfates
. Never tested on animals
Spa owners and managers looking for exclusive quality product both for use and for sale will likely be attracted to the exotic line for high-end
clientele, while individual consumers may want to own selections for their own in-home pampering.
“When the average consumer sees ‘natural’ on a label, they infrequently look at the ingredient list – what they’re often purchasing is ‘natural-inspired’ with what be called mystery ingredients,” stated Wittmer. “When we say natural, we mean it.” That also means as close to green eco-friendly as possible, with recycled packaging and no over packing.
Around 100,000,000 visits made to spas in the United States annually, making the spa industry the fourth largest leisure industry in the U.S, according to the ISPA.
“The number of regular, active spa-goers is increasing each year,” said Wittmer. “That includes men and young teens. Skin care and wellness has moved beyond subjecting one’s self to painful processes and chemical peels, into a way to bring a sense of peace into an often time-pressed and stressed world.”
Wittmer believes the draw to alternatives to spa patronage are as a natural result of tighter household budgets. Considering the average price of a spa treatment in the U.S. is $75, and the average cost per facial is $80, consumers may be confident at finding options with Sawadee Spa that bring the spa experience home, even more affordably.
