Facial and body treatments by The Organic Pharmacy will be available in Hong KongThis year, The Organic Pharmacy, founded in London, England by husband and wife team Margo and Francesco Marrone, celebrates 10 years in operation. The brand stemmed from Marrone’s studies in pharmacy at Kings College London and in homeopathy at Regents College London, at a time when she found there was a lack of what she wanted in the beauty market during her first pregnancy. She saw a gap in the industry for truly natural, all-organic products that were free from toxins but created promised results. Today, her products are still handmade in their Battersea laboratory and 90 percent of the ingredients are sourced from local UK farms. Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong follows Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane by launching The Organic Pharmacy and Marrone says: “We are thrilled to be working with Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong. Having stayed there several times, the Hotel and Spa epitomize the ultimate in serious urban wellbeing and completely understand the connection between inner health and outer beauty that The Organic Pharmacy specializes in. The organic treatments and products are very active and designed to really perform and meet the high expectations Four Seasons clients have.\" Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong Director of Spa Shoshana Weinberg says she has been searching for the right organic brand to bring to her clients in Hong Kong; “I am delighted to be offering this high-quality product uniquely to the spa market in Hong Kong, exclusively at the Spa at Four Seasons. In The Organic Pharmacy, we have found a range of treatments and products to target whatever guests require from a well-established brand, for those who are looking for an environmental and sustainable spa solution.\" As well as stocking a wide range of The Organic Pharmacy’s famed products, The Spa at Four Seasons will offer four of the brand’s treatments: Resculpting Treatment Focusing on firming, draining and aiding the breakdown of fat cells, this treatment uses slow-release ingredients to provide continued benefits over time.
