The Privileged Partner of Beauty Institutes and Spas

The Sothys Difference

Since 1946, Sothys has epitomised French excellence in professional beauty treatments, combining revolutionary technology with exceptional sensory experiences for transformative results. With a presence in 120 countries, the family-run brand delivers its unique treatments exclusively through highly trained beauty therapists, an approach that sets them apart in the ever-evolving beauty industry. 

Sothys Brand

Christian and Frederic Mas (Sothys)

A Historic Family Business Focused on Excellence

Founded in 1946 by Dr. Hotz amidst the rise of French beauty, Sothys has remained at the forefront of the industry for 78 years. Since 1966, Sothys has been owned and operated by the Mas family. 

Sothys has flourished across generations, with key locations in Corrèze, where the Mas family originates from (home to research, production, and the world renowned Les Jardins Sothys®), and Paris (home to the brand’s international training centre and flagship salon, “L’Institut Sothys”). Today, Sothys is run by brothers Christian and Frédéric Mas, who are proudly following in the footsteps of their beloved father, Bernard Mas.

Since the brand’s inception, it has been exclusively available in beauty institutes and spas. Sothys is synonymous with French excellence in professional beauty treatments, continuously evolving to meet the demands of modern skincare while maintaining its legacy of quality and distinction.

Reopening Of The Sothys Gardens

Research and Innovation from the Heart of Corrèze

Established in 2007, the Jardins Sothys™ are a preserved plant setting nestled in Auriac, Corrèze, near Cantal and situated within a Natura 2000 protected area. Located in the ancestral land of the Mas family, this botanical oasis serves as a fertile ground for innovation and creativity, inspiring the natural active ingredients and  revolutionary formulations of Sothys cosmetic products. 

An hour outside these enchanting gardens, Sothys’ Soredec Laboratory serves as the brand’s advanced research centre and is staffed by 28 expert biologists, chemists, and beauty therapists. Every year, the brand introduces around 35 innovative new formulas and 15 new makeup products, all inspired by nature and backed by science. 

Each powerful formula adheres to four core principles: sensoriality, naturalness, safety, and efficiency. Sothys’ unique rituals embrace these principles in order to make every experience a haven of well-being that nurtures the body and mind.

A Strong Commitment to the Environment

Research and development are Sothys’ key priorities for beauty that enhances the skin and is dedicated to preserving the environment. At the heart of the Sothys philosophy are the principles of REDUCE, REUSE, and RECYCLE.

Reduce: Sothys designs differently from the outset to minimise the environmental impact of packaging.

Reuse: Sothys aims to reintroduce materials that have already had a life in the design of products, or give products a second life.

Recycle: Sothys favours recyclable materials whenever possible and strives to make identification and sorting easier.

The brand has also proudly partnered with Plastic Bank® and Tenaka to help fight plastic pollution and regenerate coral reefs.

Why We Love Sothys

The Sothys brand fosters a strong “Institute and spa culture,” with their spas being the exclusive venues for treatment rituals. The beauty therapist is the foundation of the Sothys brand, empowered through continuous training and knowledge to serve as global brand ambassadors. As true beauty creators, they excel at understanding clients’ needs, providing accurate skin diagnoses and beauty prescriptions, and guiding each client’s ‘Fil de Vie.’

Sothys Treatment Protocols are crafted within an expert aesthetics unit, situated in a fully-fledged beauty institute at the heart of their laboratories. Sothys’ flagship method, Digi-Esthétique®, is a specialised massage developed for their therapists to optimise treatments and enhance the absorption of active ingredients. This method blends acupressure and modelling techniques from both Eastern and Western traditions.

Coral reefs are the epicenter of global marine life, hosting 30% of the world`s marine biodiversity despite covering less than 0.2% of the ocean floor (NOAA 2019).

Restoring coral reefs is crucial for protecting and preserving this vital and endangered ecosystem, while also enhancing the resilience of coastal communities to the impacts of the climate crisis.

Sothys partners with Tēnaka because restoring marine habitats is essential for the preservation and regeneration of our oceans.
