Luxury skincare is not only what she excels at, but revels in as she uses science and her years of industry experience to revolutionize the way products treat the skin of her consumers. I&#8217;ve been fortunate enough to meet people who are driven by pure passion for what they do, and Sophie is one of them.<\/p>\n<p>On a recent press trip to Laguna Beach California, I had the pleasure of learning all about Valmont Cosmetics, its history and sat down with Sophie to talk about the cosmetics industry. I even got to learn about the brand&#8217;s most luxurious and prestigious collection, L&#8217;Elixir des Glaciers, and tried out their two new makeup launches for Fall 2019: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valmontcosmetics.com\/us\/en\/teint-majestueux.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Teint Majestueux<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valmontcosmetics.com\/us\/en\/poudre-de-teint-precieuse.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Poudre de Teint Pr\u00e9cieuse<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>From the company&#8217;s head office on the banks of Lake Geneva to the summits of the Alpine glaciers, Valmont prides itself on merging cutting-edge Swiss R&amp;D and the taste for tradition that comes from their natural heritage of exceptional purity.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-117695 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/spa-rituel-hydratation.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/spa-rituel-hydratation.jpg 600w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/spa-rituel-hydratation-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/spa-rituel-hydratation-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/spa-rituel-hydratation-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/spa-rituel-hydratation-170x170.jpg 170w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/spa-rituel-hydratation-395x395.jpg 395w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/spa-rituel-hydratation-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As I sat down with Sophie, I noticed she was excited to launch into the story of her brand. She began, &#8220;A couple sold the company to my father-in-law. He asked my husband to take care of it and he did. The company started in &#8217;84, it was sold in &#8217;89 and my husband took it over completely in &#8217;96 from his father &#8212; so it\u2019s a family business.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When he took it over, it was a company with 30 formulas and 30 companies of distribution. I was in the business representing and working for all the cosmetics and fragrance lines. I landed in Switzerland with no kids, but a future husband. I worked seven years for YSL as Marketing Director. I really enjoyed it because I learned a lot. Then I had two kids &#8212; it\u2019s a lot of work so he said why you don\u2019t join the company part time. Soon part time became full time. I\u2019m passionate about cosmetics, fragrances, manufacturing, forecasting, managing so that\u2019s how I took over the Swiss company which is the headquarters where you imagine the products, deal with the manufacturers etc. The ideas come from our thinking and we work together with a big team. We have to anticipate a lot. For the plant extracts, I have to anticipate two years before how much of these plants I\u2019m going to need once they\u2019re extracted. It starts from the number of jars, to the quality of the plants and from there, the seeds I have to plant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Valmont?<\/strong><br \/>\nValmont has a huge fan base of consumers who are loyal to the luxury brand. When asked what guarantees fan loyalty, Sophie replied: &#8220;We don\u2019t let any product go if it\u2019s not efficient. I prefer an imperfect product. A lot of people in the cosmetics industry focus on it being a beautiful cream. But hey, it\u2019s not the cream that has to be beautiful &#8212; it\u2019s my customer. I prefer to explain to my customer that this cream is going to be imperfect because the color might change because there\u2019s oxidization of Vitamin C etc, but the results\u2026she will seen the efficacy on her skin. That\u2019s what motivates me. This is how people are loyal. People will forgive if the cream is not whipped or white and shiny, if it does them good. I put myself in the shoes of the customer. If you invest $200 on a cream, you want to have the result on you, not in the jar. I explain to my chemist, I don\u2019t always care if the skin is perfect in the jar. The cream has to penetrate the skin and make the skin beautiful. That\u2019s all I want.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I was treated to a facial using Valmont Cosmetics and the L&#8217;Elixir des Glaciers line of luxury products and my skin glowed for days on end. I soon understood why Sophie has such a dedicated brand following. It&#8217;s the results, pure and efficient. So, what is the secret to her success? &#8220;I put myself in the shoes of my consumer. I know she can be very picky and I can be very picky. If I don\u2019t feel it, I know it\u2019s not going to sell. We don\u2019t sell just for the sake of selling. It\u2019s a lot of heart into it. It\u2019s a lot of passion and we are really focused on the satisfaction of the customer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117694 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/valmont_elixir-glaciers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"485\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/valmont_elixir-glaciers.jpg 403w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/valmont_elixir-glaciers-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/valmont_elixir-glaciers-150x119.jpg 150w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/valmont_elixir-glaciers-395x314.jpg 395w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I had heard that Sophie doesn&#8217;t follow market trends, but tends to focus on the needs of the women of tomorrow. When asked about this, she agreed. &#8220;It\u2019s always on my instinct and the combination of our surrounding. The atmosphere is changing and the world is changing. I always keep to the basics. We are still dependent on the system of life. I analyze what\u2019s happening in tomorrow\u2019s world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The DNA of the brand is to always be accurate and something specific. We always have something original, like the Purity line we put some probiotics to prepare the skin. I only know how to do luxury products. We do things our way to make it more specific to us &#8212; it gives us our own identify and people then stay loyal to us. I\u2019m always very surprised when they go to comments and we don\u2019t see any negative comments. I like to read comments to improve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sophie&#8217;s Favorites<\/strong><br \/>\nSo what product does Sophie love from the Valmont line? &#8220;The Prime Renewing Pack and the Time Master as the Contour. I have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valmontcosmetics.com\/us\/en\/moisturizing-with-a-cream.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Moisturizing Cr\u00e8me<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valmontcosmetics.com\/us\/en\/moisturizing-booster.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Moisturizing Booster<\/a>. The elixir in the overnight cr\u00e8me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So I further asked, what\u2019s the one product that she would recommend if someone hasn\u2019t tried the brand. She firmly replied, &#8220;The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valmontcosmetics.com\/us\/en\/prime-renewing-pack.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Prime Renewing Pack<\/a>. The Happy Mask (as she likes to call it). We are selling almost 400 000 of these \u2013 65 tones every year. Everybody loves this cream. It was launched as a mask but everybody is using it the way they want. It\u2019s photoshop in a jar. No matter how you use it, it\u2019s going to work on your skin. You can never be wrong. I use it every morning, a thin layer 5 mins, while having coffee, and swipe off the excess. Most of the time, the skin absorbs it and you look fresh. Your features are just back in place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117689 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/energy-prime-renewing-pack-1200x1200-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"510\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/energy-prime-renewing-pack-1200x1200-1.jpg 785w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/energy-prime-renewing-pack-1200x1200-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/energy-prime-renewing-pack-1200x1200-1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/energy-prime-renewing-pack-1200x1200-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/energy-prime-renewing-pack-1200x1200-1-395x296.jpg 395w, https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/energy-prime-renewing-pack-1200x1200-1-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And I have to admit, she&#8217;s not wrong. I have come to become dependent on the Prime Renewing Pack for my skincare fix. Sophie is already excited for next year&#8217;s launches. She jumped literally at the thought of what she&#8217;s cooked up for her consumers. I&#8217;m convinced that she&#8217;s changing the cosmetics game, if not already, so I can&#8217;t wait to see what&#8217;s in the pipeline for 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Launches:<\/strong><br \/>\nAs for what&#8217;s new this Fall?
