textures produits tout en or

French to English Marketing Cosmetics, Beauty
This is from a marine cosmetics brochure and refers to a massage treatment offered in one of the company's spas called the "Supreme Gold Massage". Here is the full sentence:

Soin intégral, chaud & froid alternant des manoeuvres douces et toniques inspiré du Banya Russe. Son plus : les textures produits tout en or en font le soin idéal de préparation au mariage.

I am very confused by the use of "textures" here, and by what exactly is gold.

Thanks in advance for your help

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I will do so, excellent advice Amanda, very much appreciated. I was thinking that perhaps to other eyes it would be clearer, but you are right that there is a lack of information here.

Do the products contain gold leaf or glitter? I would ask the client if there is actual gold in the products, or gold-colored metallic glitter, or if the products have (or produce) a golden hue. I would want to know whether the use of "or" is purely figurative or if there is a literal element, and then you could take it from there!
