I came in to buy a hand cream, pretty simple. She showed me the “strongest cream” and it was a foot balm. Ok that’s not really the vibe I am going for. So I bought the strongest… HAND cream. Then I asked about some moisturizers and she showed me three and had me try them. WITHOUT INFORMING ME THEY HAD RETINOL! so as a pregnant woman I can’t use retinol. It causes birth defects. I got home and used a sample she sent me home with and looked up ingredients because it smelled like sunscreen. It was retinol! It’s amazing that you can work in such a small store with only 100 products and not know what is in them! I work in a store with hundreds if not thousands or at least will check before offering someone a foot cream for their hands and a retinol when they are visibly a pregnant woman. Even without having a discussion about their pregnancy. So thanks I’ve slathered my hands and face in retinol. Management needs to educate these workers!

Such a lovely French boutique for gifts for mother's day, Christmas, and Birthdays. Everything is made in France and the shea butter in all the lotions is grown and harvested fair trade in Africa. The lavender is grown in Provence and the immoretelle is grown in Corsica. The store is warm and inviting and Marcelo the store manager was incredibly knowledgeable about the brand and the products. Robert and Jackie were also very kind and helpful. They do complementary gift boxing as well. I love supporting natural products! The Almond shower oil is a favorite for sure! Bring in an empty beauty container for 10% off!!

First time visiting the UTC Mall while my spouse was in the area on business travel.
Very nice mall with a selection of stores made up of main line stores and special boutiques.
Especially enjoyed shopping at Saks and L’Occitane.
Shoutouts to great customer service with Laura in men’s at Saks and Marcelo at L’Occitane.
Will be shopping again with our next visit to the area.
