The History of Sothys

October 4, 2022 By patkaspian

The History of Sothys

Sothys was the name that the ancient Egyptians gave to the brightest star in the sky; she was perceived by the inhabitants of the land of Pharaohs as the jewel amongst jewels. Men were fascinated by her brightness and her beauty. 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.
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 … Sothys reappeared to deliver her secret to the Earth : she dedicated herself to women in order to preserve their beauty and happiness. As a tribute, Men venerated her as a Goddess.

 

Sothys, one of the original beauty institute and spa brands, was created in 1946 during the new wave of French beauty.

Under the leadership of Dr Hotz, a spa treatment visionary and a keen Egyptologist, the first formulas were developed in 1946.

Sothys, the name of a beautiful star from the legends of the Pharaohs, became the name of the brand.

 

French Excellence 

Sothys has represented French excellence in professional treatments for beauty institutes and spas.

Choosing Sothys, means combining impeccable technology with an outstanding experience for the senses.

Development of the Sothys brand has been driven by its ability to stay true to itself while bringing new solutions to the changing world of beauty. In each of our innovations, we pursue the idea of responsible beauty that respects the skin and the environment.

Present in 120 countries, Sothys has an exclusively professional approach, which is practised by beauty therapists who are highly trained in the brand’s treatments and techniques.

 

A Family Run Business

Since 1946, Sothys has delivered unreserved luxury from generation to generation, in two key places that have played a historic role for the brand…

In the area of Corrèze, where the Mas family originated known for its research and production units, administrative departments and Les Jardins Sothys®.

And in Paris, the home of Sothys international training centre and « L’Institut Sothys », the brand’s global showcase salon at 93 Fbg Saint Honor.
