This Works: The Science-Backed Luxury Hotel Toiletries Transforming Travel Wellness

This Works: The Science-Backed Luxury Hotel Toiletries Transforming Travel Wellness

There are hotel toiletries designed simply to cleanse the body, and then there is This Works.

Created with the belief that beauty products should do more than look luxurious, This Works combines natural essential oils, advanced skincare science, and emotional wellbeing to transform ordinary hotel routines into moments of relaxation, recovery, and restoration.

From refreshing a tired traveler after a long flight to helping guests achieve deeper sleep in an unfamiliar hotel room, This Works has become one of the most recognized wellness-focused amenity brands in the global luxury hospitality industry.

Today, millions of travelers around the world discover This Works not through a beauty counter—but inside the bathrooms of premium hotels.

After experiencing the calming fragrances, skin-friendly formulas, and famous Deep Sleep rituals, many guests ask:

What toiletries do Marriott and Radisson Blu use?

For many properties, the answer is:

This Works.


What Is This Works?

Founded in London in 2003 by former British Vogue beauty director Kathy Phillips,

This Works was created around a simple promise:

“This Works” — products that genuinely work.

Unlike traditional beauty brands that focus only on appearance, This Works was designed to support the body’s natural rhythm, combining skincare performance with aromatherapy and emotional wellbeing.

The brand became a pioneer in what is now known as neurocosmetics, a category that connects skincare, neuroscience, and mood-enhancing fragrance experiences.


The Story Behind This Works

Kathy Phillips believed that modern life—especially frequent travel, jet lag, stress, and lack of sleep—had created new skincare and wellness challenges.

Her vision was to develop products that could address both physical skin concerns and emotional fatigue.

This philosophy led to the brand’s signature Superblend™ formulation approach, which combines:

  • Natural active ingredients
  • Botanical plant oils
  • Therapeutic essential oils

Every fragrance used by This Works is created from 100% natural essential oils, without artificial fragrance.

The brand also follows a strict clean beauty philosophy:

  • No sulfates (SLS/SLES)
  • No parabens
  • No mineral oils
  • No artificial colors
  • No phthalates
  • No GMO-derived ingredients
  • Vegan and cruelty-free formulations

Before launch, products are tested by hundreds of real users, and only formulas with proven positive results move forward.

Today, This Works is also recognized as a B Corp-certified brand, emphasizing sustainability, responsible sourcing, and environmentally conscious packaging.


Why Luxury Hotels Choose This Works Toiletries

Unlike many hotel amenity brands that focus mainly on fragrance and appearance, This Works was designed specifically around the needs of travelers.

Its products help guests feel:

  • Refreshed after long journeys

  • Better prepared for restful sleep

This unique combination of skincare, aromatherapy, and sleep science makes This Works especially popular among:

  • Five-star business hotels
  • Luxury wellness resorts
  • Premium airport hotels
  • Executive suites
