I cannot imagine traveling without
FRICTION DE FOUCAUD, an energizing body tonic. Equally appreciated by men or
women, this lotion provides us with a sense of freshness and a tingling
sensation when applied after the bath or shower. In hot climates and New York
The light, clean scent is
non-obtrusive and lingers only for a few minutes. Foucaud also recommends this aromatherapeutic
body rub for reviving and stimulating your tired legs during and after travel
or for soothing achy muscles post-workout.
The skin refreshing tonic was created
in 1946 by Mme Lucienne Merle for French military officers suffering from heat
rashes and other tropical skin eruptions. Its unique (and secret) formula, a
blend of essential oils of lemon, orange, lavender, thyme, rosemary and natural
extracts of camphor and menthol has remained unchanged for 66 years and is
still produced by Laboratoire Merle in Paris. Friction is hypoallergenic,
contains no harmful paraben, is free of phenoxyethanol and mineral oils and has not been tested on
animals.
The body lotion is available in three different sizes: a
large 500 ml (16.8 fl. oz.) glass splash bottle which will easily last up to 6 months, a medium 250 ml size (8.4 fl. oz.) and a more travel-friendly 125 ml (4.2 fl. oz.) refillable lightweight plastic atomizer.
Current retail prices: US $35/250 ml glass bottle; $23/125 ml spray
Foucaud’s complete body care line
includes an alcohol free lotion (lait), massage oil, invigorating shower gel,
etc. (not evaluated or tested by us, yet).
