Body Care

Lavender products from Chateau du Bois

Caterina Ltd. is delighted to offer the exquisite lavender body care products of Chateau du Bois, created in Provence, France. We have the good fortune to serve as the only US distributor of this product line. Although many manufacturers use lavender scents, most do not use "fine" or "true" lavender (lavandula vera). Chateau du Bois grows its own fine lavender in the arid mountain of Provence; others opt instead to use the higher yielding sterile hybrid, lavandine. Lavandine, however, while furnishing a potent smell, lacks the healing properties of fine lavender.

Chateau du Bois' fine lavender grows only above 800 metres in the mountains of Provence. It possesses a combination of naturally occurring active compounds that contribute to its legendary healing powers. Linalol, a natural alcohol, kills bacteria and viruses, and also helps heal burns, wounds and sores. Pain relief and muscle relaxation is produced by ketones, which assist in alleviating insomnia and sore muscles. Esters help regulate mood, relieving depression and hysteria. Acting together, these compounds produce the wonderfully soothing qualities of fine lavender.

So please do not be charmed by products using hybrid forms of lavender; allow yourself the luxury of our true lavender products!

Panier des Sens

We are delighted to bring you this extraordinary line of body and household care products from Marseilles.  Panier des Sens (literally “basket for the senses”) is a family-owned business that has perfected its formulae over the past twenty years using natural ingredients specific to Provence. Apart from minute amounts of preservatives, all ingredients are vegetable-based to reduce any possibility of reactions with different skin types.  

Try our Lemon and Melon Seed hand cream for sensitive skin: specially formulated from natural extract of citrus oil and melon seeds, this cream is a good source of vitamin F, unsaturated essential fatty acids, and free radical inhibitors that protect the skin.  For extra dry hands, our olive oil soaps are enriched with shea butter (10%) and olive oil (10%). They nourish and heal dry and damaged skin and are easily absorbed.  No petroleum products appear in these products. Our linen waters use demineralized water, leaving no deposits on fabrics. They can be used as room sprays or sprayed on fabric before ironing to carry a fresh fragrance with you all day and into the evening.
