B
Biomimetic Phospholipid
– Complete and innovative hydra-restructuring agent of the new century. Very recent scientific data have demonstrated the key role in the differentiation of the keratinocyte and the maturation of the epidermis. It stimulates the most important elements of dermis and epidermis synthesis (filaggrin, involucrin, loricrin), that are indispensable to the establishment of the kin's barrier function and to the homeostasis of hydration. Phospholipids are invaluable components of intercellular cement and strengthens the skin's barrier functions.
BMI (Body Mass Index)
– body mass index is a value showing correlation between persons weight and height. It is widely used to identify whether individuals are underweight, overweight or obese. Please pay attention to that BMI does not measure the percentage of body fat or body muscle, for example: if a person has a lot of muscle mass and almost no fat, his BMI can be the same as of an obese person with a lot of fat and no muscle mass in his body. BMI can not be used for pregnant or nursing women.More

Candeia
– A small fireproof tropic tree that grows in the equatorial forests of Brasil. The bark of Candeia contains 95% of alfa-bisabolol, Candeia oil has soothing and anti-inflammation effect which is necessary for treating fragile and sensitive dry skin. It also contains flavanoids, fenol acids and cumarines, which have healing and antiseptic effect, and improve periferic microcirculation. Trials showed that these components fight free radicals effectively, especially in inflammatory reactions. Carboxytherapy

Massage
– (masser fr. — to rub) — is the manipulation of superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance function, aid in the healing process, and promote relaxation and well-being. Therapeutic massage can ease tension and reduce pain. Massage can be a part of physical therapy or practiced on its own. It can also be highly effective for reducing the symptoms of arthritis, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other disorders of the muscles and/or nervous system. (source: medterms.com)Micelles

NMF
– natural moisturising factor - natural elements and molecules capable of attracting and retaining moisture, ensure resilience and strength of stratum corneum of the skin.NMF components used in SOTHYS products are natural amino acid derived from glycine (trimethyl glycine) and urea (hydroxyethyl urea).
Glycin - highly hygroscopic amino acid, ensures continuous conservation of moisture in all layers of the skin.
Hydroxyethyl urea - hydrolysed urea derivative, softens and moisturises the skin, cleanses the pores.
Nutri-omega 3.6.9
– this complex consists of ceramides of biotechnological origin, Echin plants of the family Boraginaceae, free fatty acids and cholesterol. The complex is easily absorbed, incorporated into the upper layers of the epidermis, reconstructs thinned, loose inter cellular cement. Restores barrier and protective functions of the skin, prevents moisture loss and protects the skin from external aggression.Omega 3, Omega 6 and Omega-9 acids are the building blocks of all structures of the dermis, nourish deeper layers of the skin, moisturise, enclose and smooth the surface of the skin.

It is a strong abrasive, non-corrosive material that perfectly cleanses the skin, stimulates micro circulation and lymphatic outflow. This mineral is ideal to boost regeneration processes. Does not damage the hydro lipid film.Rubus Fruticosus
– (Blackberry) fruit extract – rich in organic acids, glucose, vitamins B, C, A, E, flavonoids, potassium salts, copper, manganese, phosphorus, iron and other most valuable substances.

The oil contains fatty acids (40-45 %), biological precursors of hormones (phytosterols) and vitamins, nonsaponifying lipids. Shea butter protects the skin from the environmental aggressions, activates healing processes, decreases skin’s dryness, softens and nourishes it, slows down the ageing processes. Soy Phospholipids
– A special fraction of phospholipids derived from soy, these soy phospholipids help reinforce the cellular membranes, notably those of immunocomponent cells (which defend the body).T
Tapioca
– A flour used in cooking, taken from the roots of the bitter cassava plant (inedible before treatment>, which are dried and then treated. It has a neutral flavor. The word "tapioca", borrowed from Portuguese, comes from "tupi" and "guarani" (Brazilian Indian languages) and means dried residue. This powdered material is composed mainly of amylose, which contains 70% sugars. It is an "energy source" for the skin cells. Stabilises the elastin fibers and phibronectine yarns, restores skin turgor. In the Hydra-Exfoliating scrub of the Hydradvance™ treatment acts like a gentle (mechanical) exfoliant and has softening properties.
Thermoscissors
– („hot scissors”) – hairdressing scissors with blades, that are warming up during haircut. The thermocsissors kind of „solder” the tip of every hair. Such „conservation” process leaves all the moisture and valuable substances inside the hair. „Warm haircut” is recommended for damaged hair with split tips. After the procedure you can style them perfectly, keeping the arranging for a long time. Using thermoscissors regularly fastens up hair growth and improves their quality. It is also very good to use thermoscissors on damaged hair tips after dyeing or making perm. Tight Junctions
– The cells are held together by different types of junctions. Junctions play multiple roles, both in terms of sealing qualities and in terms of the transmission of chemical messages. There are three main types of cellular junctions: More
Tripeptide

U
Ulva lactuca
– is green algae, growing on the hills and rocks in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and is picked up only during the ebb. This alga is rich in polysaccharides and amino acids that stimulate lipase – an enzyme needed for disintegration of neutral fats – triglycerides. These amino acids, that are 60% similar to the amino acids of human collagen, have restorative effect on the vessels, help to enrich body tissues with oxygen, diminish unwanted fat deposits and fight against cellulite. Ulva lactuca is rich in vitamin B and iron that strengthen and protect organ tissues, improve micro circulation. Ulva lactuca extract with high content of proteins and amino acids eases cell oxygen saturation, improves elasticity and flexibility of the skin.V

VMA™ reinforces the barrier function of the skin by maintaining hydration of the stratum corneum and protecting the epidermis from outside aggressions. It thus enables the epidermis to play its role of "moisturising cloak".Volcanic rock
– (Olivine) or Peridot. The main mineral that makes up most of the Earth's mantle.This is the first component to crystallise after a volcanic erruption. Olivine is present everywhere in the world, and even on the moon and Mars. Liquidised stone lava extract is obtained with modern biotechnology and rich in magnesium. It increases the energy potential of the skin cells, stimulating the synthesis of and increases skin's resistance to any type of aggression (reduces the inhibitory effects of many toxins).answers to your questions...
