    in the Sothys Beauty Garden Range

    Each Beauty Garden product contains Sothys’ exclusive Vegetal Moisturizing Activator™ (VMA), whichis a moisturizing complex derived from three plants (cherry trees, angelica and hawthorn) and combined with glycerin obtained from plants. VMA reinforces the barrier function of the skin by maintaining hydration of the stratum corneum and protecting the epidermis from outside aggressions.

    The barrier then protects the skin from environment and aging effects with a scientifically proven hydrating layer – tests performed by Sothys in conjunction with the University of Limoges found the VMA increased hydration of the skin by 34%, which reinforces the barrier function of the skin.
