WHAT THEY ARE: Premium products based on cherished
heritage recipes to comfort dry hands. For ten years, the nurturing
recipe behind the bestselling Gardener’s Hand Healer hand cream from
Les Couvent des Minimes has soothed hands and helped replenish skin
around the world. Now, in celebration of the cream’s tenth anniversary
and in the tradition of the convent, Le Couvent des Minimes offers a
trio of soothing products to help chapped, cracked skin. Featuring
the top-selling Gardener’s Hand Healer and two new offerings, the
collection includes items made with love from soothing botanicals and
restorative plants, offering a natural, gentle way to nurture skin. From
creams and lotions to cleansing foams, each product helps
soothe skin for soft, smooth hands.
HERITAGE: In monasteries, a brother known as the
Gardinarius sacrificed his hands to tend and care for the gardens.
This tradition of loving care for plants continued at the convent of the
Minims in Mane through the arrival of the Franciscan Missionaries of
Mary. The sisters continued to cultivate the fertile land, harvesting
sustenance for residents and missionaries returning from tropical climates.
Le Couvent des Minimes inherited this tradition of loving care and pays
tribute to the original gardeners by incorporating botanicals and
nourishing ingredients in their skincare recipes. The products feature an
ancient engraving representing the traditional gardening tools as a nod to their
hands-on heritage.
The offerings include:
· Gardener’s
Hand Healer (75 mL, $19): A top seller in France, this rich, emollient cream
protects against cracks and dry skin by acting like an invisible glove, locking
in moisture and protecting skin. Made from an original recipe that combines 20%
Shea Butter and seven beneficial plants to aid dry hands, the formula also
features soothing Chamomile and Marshmallow, uplifting, Calendula and Lemon
Balm, and bright Verbena for softer, smoother feeling skin.
· Smooth
Moisturizing Lotion (NEW, 300 mL, $14): Nourishing Shea Butter and
refreshing Litsea combine in this lightweight, hydrating lotion. Created from an
original recipe, the lotion absorbs quickly, delivering hydration and protecting
hands from drying out after washing. Lightly scented with notes of fresh
Verbena, the lotion leaves hands soft and smooth.
· Ultra
Cleansing Foam (NEW, 300 mL, $12): Gently cleanse skin with this mild
foaming gel. Its original recipe blends purifying citrus with refreshing Litsea
in a natural cleansing base, helping it to gently purify without drying skin.
Enriched with degreasing agents, the mild formula leaves you feeling clean and
fresh.
