Once upon a time, Sothys

For 60 years, Sothys has developed Beauty concepts that unite body and mind, wellbeing and efficacy, technological and hand movement innovation into an experience recognized all over the world.

A professional brand intended exclusively for institutes, beauty centers and spas, Sothys invests, innovates and expands to respond to today's men and women: a high-end approach that places wellbeing and beauty at the heart of care.

The myth
Sothys (pronounced So-tis) was the name the Ancient Egyptians gave to the brightest star in the sky; she symbolized to them eternal beauty. Stars and planets also experienced passions like hatred, love, anger, jealousy and revenge. During a heavenly night, Saturn met the young star Sothys even Venus never seemed so beautiful. Their meeting was astonishing and Saturn was overwhelmed with passion for her; this threw the regular rhythm of the stars into confusion. The fall of Sothys: Venus could not bear the fact she was not anymore the most beautiful star in the sky. She took her revenge and Sothys fell into the dark of the night and disappeared. Saturn cried over forty days and forty nights and flooded the Earth. During centuries, the world heard nothing about Sothys until the day when

The myth
The return of Sothys: Sothys reappears to deliver her secret to the Earth: she dedicates herself to women in order to preserve their beauty and happiness. As a tribute, Men venerated her as a Goddess.

Every thing began in 1946 in Paris, with Dr Hotz beauty salon

Biologist, but also passionnate about astronomy, he discovered a brillant star. It was Sothys!

He created the produits biologiques de beaut line with the first serums and ampoules

In 1966, M. Bernard Mas bought the beauty salon. He decided then to improve the quality of products and cabin cares.
