Handmade Skin and Body Products Inspired by Locally Grown Botanicals
THE BODY DELI, the original pioneer for fresh, raw, organic skin and body care, announces the
launch of a new collection inspired by the Palm Springs lifestyle.
Building on the success of the organic skin care products offered at their Palm Desert store and
online, THE BODY DELI co-founders and “cosmetic chefs,” David Parker and Margaret Skarin, developed
a special Palm Springs Spa Collection that exemplifies the casual, chic lifestyle the world has come to
identify with Palm Springs. “Since moving to the Coachella Valley in 2001, I have come to love the Palm
Springs lifestyle with vibrant colors, mid-century architecture and pool side living,” explains Parker,
a Northern California native. “So Margaret and I came up with the idea of creating a collection using
desert botanicals grown right here in our valley.”
The Las Palmas blend is handmade with locally grown Medjool dates and aromatic grapefruit
and blood oranges from the Coachella Valley, with vanilla, ginger and a hint of evening jasmine.
Featuring iconic Palm Springs modern packaging, the sultry aroma of the Palm Springs Spa Collection
evokes evenings under the stars listening to classic Rat Pack Swing while sipping a fragrant cocktail.
Area tourist agencies, resorts, spas and retailers are enthusiastic about the locally sourced and
locally produced merchandise, viewing the upscale collection as an opportunity to offer visitors and
guests a unique and enriching Palm Springs experience. “The response has been extremely positive,”
beams Parker, “and we are grateful for the support we’ve received from our local tourism industry.”
THE BODY DELI has designed products providing nutrition for the skin since 2001. Motivated by
the concept of natural living and driven by the science of “living foods,” a staff of 10 hand-makes small
batches at their Palm Desert location utilizing raw, fresh, natural and organic ingredients. The result is a
myriad of nutrient-rich creations for the body, face and hair that deliver vitamins, enzymes and minerals
at their peak potency. Their products have cultivated a loyal customer base, including celebrities Alicia
Silverstone, Goldie Hawn, and Kate Hudson.
The Palm Springs Spa Collection is available in lotion, oil, perfume, scrub and body wash
formats. Retail prices range from $25 to $60 and the products may be purchased at THE BODY DELI in
their Palm Desert store and at Raymond | Lawrence in the Uptown Design District of Palm Springs. All
Body Deli products are also available on-line at www.thebodydeli.com
THE BODY DELI is located at 73-910 Hwy 111, Suite B in Palm Desert, CA. Hours of operation
are Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM PST. For more information please visit
