Zagreb, Croatia, October 21, 2019 — Repêchage® CEO and Founder Lydia Sarfati hosted a brand launch event to beauty professionals at the Esplanade Zagreb Hotel in Croatia alongside Manuela Picard, the exclusive distributor of Repêchage® in Croatia and Slovenia. Repechage® Professional Skin Care will now officially be available in 50 countries as the seaweed-based skin care company prepares to celebrate their 40th anniversary in 2020.
U.S. ambassador to Croatia, W. Robert Kohorst, was present to introduce Sarfati as she shared the history of Repêchage® and her success story as a Polish-born beauty professional who emigrated to the U.S. in 1970.
From her struggles to get a U.S. Cosmetology license, to working late nights and long hours as a working mother, entrepreneur and esthetician in NYC, Sarfati’s passion and drive for esthetics led her to launch the first professional, seaweed-based skin care company in 1980.
In addition to sharing her story, Sarfati introduced attendees to signature Repêchage® products and treatments, as well as the new Repêchage® Vita Cura® Gold Collection, launched in the U.S. in May 2019. This premiere anti-aging collection, an extension of the award-winning Repêchage® Vita Cura® line, provides a professional, natural, and non-invasive antiaging program using sustainably-harvested Laminaria Digitata seaweed extracts, Niacinamide/Vitamin B3, Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid. and other powerful ingredients to restore the appearance of youthfulness, tone, and vibrancy to the skin. For professionals, the new Repêchage® Vita Cura® B3 Lifting Treatment combines an enzymatic micro peel, stimulating massage and products from the collection to create a spa treatment that dramatically transforms skin and reduces the visible signs of aging.
The following two days professionals were offered an exclusive Master Class with Sarfati which included a hands-on workshop that allowed clients to get a taste for classic Repêchage® treatments, including the iconic Repêchage® Four-Layer Facial®, Biolight® Miracle Facial, Hydra Medic® Facial, Red-Out® Facial, and the new Repêchage® Glow and Go Services.
As part of its corporate mission, Repêchage® continues to expand into new markets with Croatia and Slovenia fulfilling major milestones for the company.
“We will be celebrating our 40th anniversary in 2020, and I am very proud of how Repêchage® has grown internationally, especially in the European market,” said Sarfati. “Creating the best products and treatments based on seaweed, science and efficacy has been at the forefront of our mission and has proven to be of global interest to help elevate and increase the company’s presence worldwide.”
