Songtsam and Luxury Skin Care Brand, La Mer, Expand Partnership

Songtsam, an award winning luxury boutique group of hotels and tours located in the Tibet and Yunnan Provinces of China, expanded their partnership with the renowned world leader in ultra-luxury skin care, La Mer, to open a Spa de La Mer at the Songtsam Linka Retreat Shangri-La. This will be followed by the opening of 3 more Spa de La Mers at the Songtsam Lodge Lijiang, Songtsam Lodge Bome andSongtsam Lodge Namcha Barwa.

Songtsam and La Mer both have similar missions that reflect hope, healing and a deep respect for the earth’s precious resources, while utilizing these resources to assist in the journey towards optimal physical and mental healing. Songtsam’s mission to pursue and understand happiness is associated with caring for oneself from the outside and within. According to Baima Duoji,  Songtsam Founder and Chairman, “the continuation of this partnership with La Mer helps Songtsam enable its guests to feel the repairing and anti-aging energy from La Mer ( the deep sea), and let their skin breathe the crisp air of the snow-capped mountains and forests surrounding them.”

La Mer’s simple and effective skin care products containing repairing and anti-aging ingredients from the deep sea gradually alleviate problems on the skin.

These rare natural elements will keep the skin looking moisturized, plumped, firm and youthful and enable one to also feel the healing of mind and body in continuous exploration.

About La Mer

Crème de la Mer is a brand that represents hope, healing and one man’s deep respect for the power of the living sea. It all began over fifty years ago when Dr. Max Huber, a physicist, embarked on a healing quest after a lab accident. Twelve years and 6,000 experiments later, Miracle Broth — the legendary elixir — was born.

Since joining The Estée Lauder Companies in 1995, La Mer has become the most coveted skin care brand in the world. Based in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City, La Mer is a collaborative, dynamic and closely connected group that has built the brand into a global beauty powerhouse and a leader in ultra-luxury skincare.
