HOW DID THE IDEA FOR
RETREATMENT BOTANICS
COME ABOUT?
We have these amazing treatments
and incredibly skilled therapists at
Gaia. When the Retreat fi rst opened,
we would externally source skincare
to use in our treatments. At times,
the therapists would even source
organic ingredients themselves, often
from our own garden!
As Gaia grew and became this
amazing destination for health,
wellness and natural beauty
treatments, Olivia said, “you know,
we have this extraordinary wealth of
knowledge in our team, why don’t we
create our own skincare, where we
have control over the ingredients and
the integrity of the products.”
We wanted to create and use a
skincare brand that refl ects Gaia and
all we stand for. We believe we have
achieved this.
Retreatment Botanics is a way
for people to take the rituals and
experience of Gaia home with
them, to continue their self-care and
soul-care journey with the beautiful
herbs and essentials oils, which
evoke the feeling of Gaia, as well as
being really effective. This was so
important for us. Olivia is passionate
that something really works as well as
being lovely to use.Trudi Jaye
