In 1966, the Mas family acquired the Sothys Institute, located on the Rue Du Faubourg Saint-Honore in Paris. Mr. Bernard Mas, Chairman, then decided to add to the beautiful Sothys range of products and treatments and increase its availability.

Mr. Mas devoted himself to setting up distinctive export markets for the Sothys products. From then on Sothys became a family concern with an international vocation. Currently Sothys 20,000 points of sales in over eighty countries throughout the world all reflect the same glowing quality and brand performance image.

Sothys has its main world-wide production, disribution and administrative facilities in Brive, France. It is from here that Sothys’ chemists, skin care specialists and marketing personnel work to fulfill the life-long dream of the Mas family.

In the late 1970 , Sothys opened the doors to the United States market. Here, under the direction of an esthetician, Mr. Christian Garces, Sothys continued its mark of excellence by bringing its French traditions to the American market. Today the company enjoys a profitable and large market share both domestically and internationally.

Phytomer - Oligoforce - Soothing Enforcement Serum With Oligomer

Oligoforce - high performance beauty. Oligo Force Serum with their hydro - lipophilic texrure, are perfectly assilated by the skin. They are concentrates of Oligomer and active marine ingredietns. Due to this unique concentration they fortify the cells to raise the efficiency of care products. Oligoforce fortifies the cells. Due to the health potential obtained from the ideal supply of trace elements in Oligomer, Oligo Force Serum strengthen cells by responding perfectly to their nature and their needs. Once the balance of trace elements has been restored, the epidermis recovers its health potential and its defensive power against the risks of deficiencies and aggressive factors.

Evidence of the role of trace elements during the development of the cells of the epidermis.

1. When trace elements are absent, the epidermis loses its structure. Skin becomes fragile because of its deficiencies and offers an ideal terrain for the appearance of various disorders.

2. When trace elements are present, cohesion between cells is visible. Skin is strong and completely healthy. The risks of cutaneous problems are reduced to a minimum.

Oligoforce - the efficiency booster. By fortyfying skin cells, Oligo Force Serum - Soothing Enforcement Serum With Oligomer and Purifying Enforcement SerumWith Oligomer enable the epidermis to recover its health potential plus optimum receptiveness. Usual care products are thus assimilated more easily and their efficiency is considerably higher. Tests carried out by our laboratories have demonstrated the efficiency of the associated Oligo Force + care products.

Oligo Force Serums -  Soothing Enforcement Serum With Oligomer and Purifying Enforcement Serum With Oligomer fortify cutaneous cells, making them more receptive to treatments. The efficiency of treatments may thus be tripled.

Phytomer Oligoforce Soothing Enforcement Serum With Oligomer and Oligomer Purifying Enforcement Serum With Oligomer are formulated with an Oligomer base for a true concentrate of marine - elements. When used in conjunction with the other beauty care products, Olgoforce Serum fortify cells, and make product activity up to three times more efficient.

The role of trace elements:

1. Catalist for metabolic reactions

2. Strengthen and provide energy for cells

3. Provide essential balance and increase health potential of cells

90% of all outher negative skin symptoms are a results of demineralized skin. For optimal health of the skin, it is necessary to obtain an outside source of  trace elements on a daily basis. Trace elements deficiencies are responsible for complex and varied skin problems. Most treatments include the reflexothermal method to optimize treatment results while providing the utmost in relaxation and well being. An immersion step is included in most facial protocols to pludge each into a seaside atmosphere which will engage all of the senses toward relaxation. The immersion step provides a relaxing welcome for each treatments start, and ends each treatment with a gently revitalizing, awakening finale. The result is a return to the therapeutic values that the ocean has to offer.

Borage oil rich in essential fatty acids and anti - free radicals to nourish and protect skincells.Marine nutrients and Vitamins B3, B5, B6 and C , amino acids, and trace elements rebalancing, repairing and energizing. Scientific research has discovered over 40,000 varieties of seaweeds which are categorized by their pigment, brown, red, green, and blue. The properties of seaweeds and certain micro - algae are even more extensive than those of seawater. Not only do they contain the minerals existing in the envirinment in which they live, but in addition they concentrate an inestimable quantity of nutrints and vitamins. Regular doses of trace elements are indispensable to the body for correct metabolic function. Trace elements penetrate the epidermis via osmosis and cellular exchange. The skin is the perfect surface for exchange. In seawater aroud 98% F, the skin pores and capillaries dilate and mineral penetration takes place at a rate 10 times greater than in seawater at 64% F. The body then delivers and utilizes the trace elements where they are most needed. Perfect remineralization is achieved with seawater. Oligo is Greek for - very little. Oligo elements or trace elements are  minerals found in the body in very small quantities. Four elements compose 96% of the body’s makeup. The remaining 4%  of the body’s composition is a combination of the other trace elements.

Trace elements are catalyst for vital body functions. Trace elements trigger thousand of essential enzyme reactions in the body including activating other nutrients, ionizing the body’s electrical current necessary for other functions, building blocks of enzymes and hormones, equalizing pH, digestion, growth and tissue regeneration. They are indispensable for optimal functioning of a healthy body. Even though trace elements are found in the human body, the body does not manufacture these vital nutrients and they must be derived from external sources. Trace minerals occur naturally in the earth’s soils, and ideally our recommeneded daily fruit and vegetables should  supply a good amound of these minerals. However, the more our soils are tilled and exposed to weather the more these minerals are leached out. The body is depleted of trace elements every day through various natural functions such as combating stress and pollution.

Whitening Spot Correction Serum - Phytomer

Whitening Spot Correction Serum, the pigmentation process - melanin pigments are responsible for the color of skin. These pigments based on a complex mechanism, are evenly spread over the surface of the epidermis. Skin pigmentation involves melanocytes, skin cells that produce melanin, and keratinocytes skin cells that control this production.

Melanin is made from an amino acid, tyrosine, in the presence of an enzyme, tyrosinase, from several complex chain reactions. These take place in melanosomes.
