The science of results.
Research and development are our key priorities.
WE BELIEVE IN NEW IDEAS. WE BELIEVE IN INNOVATION.
A team of 25 expert biochemists, pharmacists and beauty therapists at the Soredec Laboratory, the Sothys Group advanced research centre, are responsible for the roll-out of Sothys products.
