CODAGE has extensively trained CHI therapists on the process of creating a custom-blended serum taking into consideration each client’s specific skincare concerns and environment. The spa therapists have also been trained in the CODAGE “gestures,” which are specific movements used in the spa menu’s four facials and two body treatments to maximize the efficacy of the products.

Serums are at the heart of CODAGE’s expertise with fluids to provide a very high concentration of active ingredients that can penetrate the deepest layers of the epidermis. CHI, The Spa’s expert therapists will assist clients to create a made-to-measure formulation perfectly suited to their skin’s needs. These custom creations are complemented by a full collection of “ready-to-wear” serums to address the most common skin concerns.

In addition to serums, CODAGE has created a full collection of products to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, treat, and protect skin. The vegan and cruelty-free brand, which was founded in 2010 by brother and sister Amandine and Julien Azencott, is made in France in their own laboratory based in Nice.

“We are delighted to partner with CODAGE Paris to bring the luxury product exclusively to Shangri-La Hotel, Vancouver; the product line’s first collaboration in the Canadian territory,” says Miranda Moore, Director of Spa. “Both establishments share the same commitments to the highest standards of service excellence and professional expertise to only offer memorable and made-to-measure luxury experiences to each guest.”

Adds Julien and Amandine Azencott, CODAGE Paris founders, “We are truly proud and delighted to start this exclusive journey with Shangri-La Hotel, Vancouver, an esteemed luxury hospitality institution that shares our values of excellence of service and customers’ satisfaction. We personally selected them as our first partnership in Canada, based on their reputation and expertise. We are delighted to collaborate with such a talented team and believe their knowledge combined with our unique methods will take customers’ experience to the next level - focusing on each guest, one at a time, with real custom-made service, treatments and product formulation.”

To celebrate the new partnership, CHI, The Spa clients will receive 50% off any CODAGE serum when booking a CODAGE Paris facial during the month of January. Guests can book their treatments by calling 604-695-2447 or by emailing chi.vancouver@shangri-la.com.
