“Can I use it every day?”
Better once or twice a week, on the body: legs, arms, back. The rest of the time, a gentle soap.

The second-purchase soap
It doubles the basket
The customer who takes a face soap often takes this one for the body.
The Provence argument
PDO true lavender speaks to tourists and regulars alike.
An easy gesture to explain
“Scrub and soap in one go”: no need for a scrub in a tube.
All year round
Once or twice a week, in every season: a product that never sits in the stockroom.
Who to recommend it to
Legs and arms
Once or twice a week.
Dull skin
Smoother, brighter skin.
Lovers of Provence
PDO true lavender.
Tourists
The Provence souvenir you actually use.
Selling it in three steps
Place it next to the gentle soaps, not on its own: it's a complement, not a product to explain by itself.
Let customers touch the bar: the exfoliating texture can be felt under the finger.
Suggest it to every customer buying a face soap: “and for the body, once a week?”
Suggest it with: CLAIR DE LUNE or GRENADA for every day, NOSTALGIA once or twice a week.
What customers say
It cleanses well without drying my skin, which is a real plus, as I've often had problems with other soaps that irritated me. The smell is pleasant without being too strong. It's a pleasure to use every day.
Perfect for scrubbing your back and legs!
I discovered you in Arles and I've loved using your soaps ever since! They're perfect for sensitive skin and make the bathroom smell lovely.

What I get asked about this product
Is it scratchy?
No, the exfoliation is gentle. It doesn't replace a coarse-grain scrub.
On the face?
It's formulated for face and body, but I mainly recommend it for the body.
Is the lavender natural?
Yes, it's a PDO true lavender essential oil from Provence.
Is it available as a bar to sell by the slice?
Yes, choose the 1.2 kg size: the same formula as a whole bar, to cut in your shop, about twelve 100 g slices.
What's the minimum order?
€100 excl. VAT on the first order, mixing the whole range as you like. After that, no minimum.
Do you sell for less on your own site?
No. The retail price on sternartica.com is the price I recommend to you, and I stick to it.
