I believe it's more complicated due to Russian regulator rules. The potential losses are prohibitive.
Frustrating, but shareholders and financial markets have a role in this, not just the brands. Also it needs international governments to think about sanctioning businesses doing business in Russia in the same way the United States sanctions companies that do business with Cuba. They won't do it due to the sheer size and value of the Russian market.
I saw a Financial Times article about Philip Morris (one of the massive tobacco companies)... the cost of quitting the Russian market can be eyewatering.
I didn't track it down, but this article gives an idea of it: https://www.fool.com/investing/2023...lcontent&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=article

I think most of the sanctions are very leaky with lots of loopholes being exploited; which is why early predictions of a total collapse of the Russian economy were significantly short of the mark. The collateral damage of the war on Western economies in particular would likely be even worse if the sanctions were tightened, and in the face of that level of hardship, what would happen to international and public support for Ukraine?

Thank you for this Maymorgan … I wonder how many have stopped buying from them because of the slow process of leaving Russia anyway
I just have the image of the maternity unit being bombed and that poor pregnant lady being carried out and finding out she had passed away 😢

They should have shown some compassion and at least told the public that they did not intend to stay there and will be leaving as soon as they can ..

Just something to send a gesture of compassion and empathy to the Ukrainians just a crumb of something.. it just sticks in my memory .. it’s not going to shake off at all.

Can’t stand almonds ( smell or taste)
Can anyone recommend another oil / moisturising shower gel for dry skin ? ( I’m rubbish at applying body lotion so want a moisturising shower product)
 
When I used to support L'Occitane initially I lived the Almond shower oil. Then I began to find it overpowering and highly unpleasant.
Now I tend to use Sanex for highly sensitive skin. No SLS so less drying on the skin.
It is worth the time to find a body moisturiser which sinks in fast to use after a shower... even if it's not every day.
 
I remember buying the Almond shower oil when it first came out, I did use it in the bath. Then I eventually threw it out, I had it so long it was evolving into a higher life forum. o_O

I do remember when it was the endless cherry whatever, then almond slowly took over.

Yes, so- called hero products! It becomes rather boring with all the beauty brands. L’Occitane used to have Shea or cherry and occasionally verbena or almond. You can have too much of a good thing hing… especially in the huge packages of 0.5 litres or 1 litre packages.
Elemis with the Pro-collagen marine cream.
Alpha-H with Liquid Gold.
Liz Earle with Cleanse & Polish.
Prai with the Neck cream.
There are loads of other examples that I could list, but won’t.
Q constantly demand novelty, but then insist on staying the same!

Yes, because it is made from almonds, which of course you. Bakewell tarts are made with almonds and frangipani tart is made from ground almonds. A very expensive ingredient.

Some perfumes are very almond Dior one of the Poisons red bottle, sorry having a brain fart and cannot remember the name. Other perfumes do it well, and it is more heliotrope which is known as cherry pie as it has a Bakewell tart like but subtle. I love heliotrope perfumes, not straight up smelling like an almond.
