Research and development are our key priorities.
“Development of the Sothys brand has been driven by its ability to stay true to itself while bringing new solutions to the changing world of beauty”.
Based on 4 founding principles.
Formulation experts: a team of 28 expert biologists, chemists and beauty therapists at the Soredec Laboratory, the Sothys Group advanced research centre.
Every year, Sothys launches an average of 35 new product formulas and 15 new make-up products.
Each formula combines inspiration from nature and scientific rigour and is based on 4 founding principles: sensoriality, naturalness, safety and efficiency.
Florent Mas, R&D DIRECTOR OF SOREDEC LABORATORY.
ARE OUR FORMULAS VEGAN?
YES, in the vast majority of cases. In our entire product offering, only two raw materials of animal origin are used: collagen (INCI: collagen) which is derived from co-products from the fishing industry; beeswax derivatives (INCI: synthetic beeswax). There are now only 8 non-vegan Sothys formulas!
HOW DO WE MANAGE CONTROVERSIAL INGREDIENTS?
To minimise the use of certain controversial ingredients, we are constantly looking for alternatives to silicones, phenoxyethanol, sulphates and BHT in our future formulas.
DO WE USE SYNTHETIC INGREDIENTS?
Yes, when they are essential to the nature of the formula, such as certain fragrances, certain molecules for their anti-ageing effectiveness in particular, and sun filters.
HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT OUR FORMULAS ARE WELL TOLERATED BY THE SKIN?
Before being placed on the market, all our formulas undergo numerous tests, including a cell culture evaluation, clinical tests under the supervision of dermatologists, and a safety assessment performed by an external independent toxicologist.
“Research and development are our key priorities for beauty that respects the skin and is committed to protecting the environment.”
FLORENT MAS, R&D DIRECTOR OF SOREDEC LABORATORY
