The Dirt:
Sophyto is a beauty line that treats its customers and the environment equally—like gold. The products range from 88% to 99% certified organic, many with an aloe base in place of water. Meant to draw out dirt and impurities and sooth and renew the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin, the line is perfect for spring and summer because it is light but nourishing.
The Refining Peel Active Mask, which contains fruit acids and amethyst powder, is suitable for frequent exfoliating, even by those with sensitive skin. The Tone & Balance employs aloe, and extracts of artichoke, shiitake, nettle, and noni, and is meant for use as a soft alternative to water when removing cleansers and masks. The Skin Energising High Potency Concentrate serves as a soothing serum-like treatment meant for use under a moisturizer, whose ingredients are kept clear of bacteria through sealed individual dose packaging.
Bonus:
The line is certified organic by a strict U.K.-based nonprofit called the Soil Association. The packaging notes the exact pH, and a number of seals alerting its status as a vegan- and environmentally-friendly product, which is aided by its use of biodegradable ingredients.
