The Fundamental belief the governs all Sothys Product and Treatment creations is to work with and strengthen the skins natural biological functions. By doing this the skin is never compromised or damaged. Product efficacy and safety is paramount to the Sothys belief, products must be effective, but above all they must be safe to use.

Sothys places a huge emphasis on Research & Development, their in-house Labs, SOREDEC (Society of Research & Development in Cosmetics) is responsible for sourcing, researching and testing new ingredients to use in future formulations. Sothys draws on a number of sources for its raw materials, the majority is botanically sourced through sustainable practises from all parts of the world including their own Sothys Gardens in South West France (link to Auriac gardens). Marine extracts and peptides derived by Biotechnology make up the balance of the formulations.

Daily: The first important stage is to cleanse your skin well every morning and evening with suitable products to clean and remove make-up. Then, in the morning use a hydrating* and protective cream , and a regenerating cream in the evening. Do not forget to use special products on the eye area that have been formulated to be applied on the fragile and sensitive skin in this area.
Once a week: Carry out exfoliation using Sothys Desquacrem to remove dead cells and impurities. Your complexion will remain clear and radiant and your skin will be more receptive to skin-care products. Don’t forget to follow-up your exfoliation by applying a suitable mask for your needs. Your skin will gain more benefit from it once impurities are removed. * Hydration of the superficial layers of the skin.

All Sothys products and treatments undergo rigorous testing in house before they are launched, a combination of both in-vitro testing (cell cultures) and also panel patch testing to ensure products are both safe and deliver the desired skin result.
Animal Testing is not used at any stage.

Sothys believes the first thing to achieve optimal skin health and function is to correct any imbalances in the skin, for example reducing sensitivity or increasing lipid levels. Once the skin has reached a natural state of balance.

Sothys products and treatments that have very specific actions, for example the Bx Wrinkle Corrector are independently tested by a Clinical Lab in France to ensure efficacy of those products are measurable. All Sothys products and treatments are tested in conjunction with a panel of both Consumers and Skincare Therapists for both efficacy and satisfaction.
