66 June 2014 | beautystorebusiness.com News C.O. BIGELOW OFFERS BEAUTY RETAILERS FOUR UNIQUE BRANDS FROM ABROAD C.O. Bigelow—which represents the heritage of multigenerational family businesses from around the world—is now offering four brands to select beauty retailers: Proraso from Italy, Les Floralies from New Zealand, Alighiero Campostrini from Italy and Marvis from Italy. • Expert Italian barbers have favored Proraso formulas since 1946. The new Proraso Protective & Moisturizing Collection keeps shaving simple, sophisticated and enjoyable with its extra-comforting and skin-soothing formulas that contain aloe vera and vitamin E. Featured are the paraben-free Proraso Protective & Moisturizing Shaving Cream and the Proraso Protective & Moisturizing After Shave Balm. • The Les Floralies Apothecary Sniff Box is a calming "sleep easy" blend of neroli, lavender and chamomile essential oils. It contains aroma beads infused with a special aroma- therapy blend created by Mary Wakefield, a leading aroma therapist in New Zealand. Customers open the box, take a few breaths and receive aromatherapy benefits. • The Alighiero Campostrini Season Collection Bar Soaps are skin-softening, antioxidant- rich and made with 100% olive oil. This ancient recipe uses a traditional boiled process where only pure olive oil is used throughout the soap production. Each fragrance uniquely represents the tastes associated with the variety of flavors found in olive oil. The bars are available in linen, cotton, cashmere and silk. • Housed in elegant metal tubes, Marvis toothpastes blend the aroma of mint with original notes for lasting freshness and taste sensation throughout the day. The toothpaste collection is made up of Classic Mint, Aquatic Mint, Ginger Mint, Jasmin Mint, Whitening Mint, Cinnamint and Amarelli Licorice. They come in full and travel sizes. There is also a new Marvis Mouthwash Concentrate Strong Mint. It's alcohol-free and uses natural extracts to protect teeth from bacteria and prevent cavities.
