Background briefing
The company was founded in 1964 by Carmen
Vidal and is still owned by the Vidal family.
Main services
We help spa operators to customise menu
treatment cards and to integrate sound operations,
equipment and staff expertise. Our team
of laboratory experts provides spa operators
with the latest trends in skincare and spa rituals.
Our current portfolio covers more than
500 references and 70 original spa rituals in
facial, body, spa and cosmeceutical treatments,
solar and men’s care products, make-up and
perfumes. Specifically designed for hotels, we
offer a collection of luxury amenities.
Additional services
Germaine’s worldwide presence enables our
spa partners to: increase their turnover and
profits; satisfy their customers; use products
that meet all legal requirements requested by
local health authorities; rely on product supply;
receive marketing support customised to
the idiosyncrasy of each location; and enjoy a
customised service, with spa menus adapted
to the hotel’s location and customers.
Through our exclusive distribution network,
we can offer continuous training
support in all our new treatments and how
best to retail our homecare products.
