Elevating Everyday Soap Through a Botanical Narrative
Brand Platform
Brand Positioning
Visual Identity
As the pharmacy market leader in solid soaps, Le Comptoir du Bain turned to Lonsdale for a full brand overhaul in response to intense price competition and product commoditization. The objective: restore value and desirability to the brand while supporting the rollout of cleaner formulas and more responsible packaging.
Lonsdale reimagined the brand by drawing on its dual heritage: the natural efficacy of traditional Marseille soap, and the evocative world of “comptoirs”—old-world counters where botanical essences were curated for their therapeutic and sensory properties.
This rich narrative anchors a new brand positioning around “botanical resonance,” setting Le Comptoir du Bain apart in a crowded category.
The new visual identity, inspired by the aesthetics of vintage trade counters and herbal apothecaries, is expressed through three clearly defined ranges:
– Les Authentiques: everyday natural hygiene for the whole family
– Les Essentielles: active botanical care
– Les Escales: exclusive, sensorial collections
The result is a refreshed, meaningful, and quality-driven brand universe—reclaiming a place of pride on the shelf for a once-overlooked daily product.
