French skincare and spa brand Sothys has launched the Nutritive skincare range designed to offer a next-generation nourishing solution for very dry skin.
The formula is underpinned by two active macrobiotic ingredients – rapeseed phytosterols and bio-fermented yeast derived from the Lactobacillus Plantarum probiotic.
According to Sothys, people with dry skin tend to have an imbalance in their skin microbiota – the ecosystem of bacteria that lives on our facial skin – which can impair the skin barrier and cause dryness.
Sothys has since created the Nutritive range to combat this, comfort dry skin and protect the microbiome by reinforcing the skin’s natural barrier – the hydrolipidic film – with necessary lipids.
Three core ingredients further enrich the compound; grapevine flower plant stem cells; organic argan oil rich in omega 6 and 9 and vitamin E; and phytosqualane derived from olive oil.
The new Nutritive line features a serum for immediate relief, as well as a rich cream and ultra-rich cream designed for long-term support.
Speaking to Spa Business, Sothys CEO Christian Mas said: “Our lab has created a unique approach to dry skin through the interesting science of microbiota.
“Very often, skincare for dry skin is only catered to with a more comforting cream texture product within a hydrating range.
“As masters in skincare, we at Sothys always try to precisely tackle every need of the skin and among them the very specific dry skin condition that is quite complex.”
