As a strong symbol that expresses the respect the brand has for nature, Les Jardins Sothys™ in Auriac (Corrèze) are a source of constant inspiration and bear witness to the brand’s involvement in sustainable development.
“Although for many years, I devoted all my energy to Tokyo, New York and Singapore in order to develop Sothys, I thought constantly about Auriac, the green landscape of my Corrèzian garden, this magical place, which, well away from the century’s hustle and bustle, has always made me feel peaceful and rejuvenated... This is where meaning takes root... ”
BERNARD MAS, FOUNDER
Sothys Advanced Research is the foundation for the brand’s scientific innovations. Its purpose is to identify and approve new active ingredients. Sothys expertise is also furthered by valuable interaction with universities.
Respect for nature, use of the regional habitat, recovery of co-products from the environment... are all values which guide our botanical research and help us to create active ingredients inspired by our Gardens.
The Jardins Sothys™, created in 2006, are a preserved plant setting in Auriac, in Corrèze, near Cantal in a Natura 2000 protected area. Located on the homeland of the Mas family, Les Jardins Sothys ™ enhance the plant world; they are the source of inspiration of Sothys cosmetic products.
The Jardins Sothys ™:
Organic eldeberry extract.
Inspired by our Jardins Sothys™, sourced from certified organic farming and extracted using green chemistry, this exclusive Sothys active ingredient was developed in collaboration with the CVA (Centre de Valorisation des Agroressources, which guides companies through the development of eco-extraction processes) and is the result of four and a half years of research.
