Sophyto began as the brainchild of Karen Sinclair Drake who found inspiration from complementary and alternative medicine which emphasizes the body's innate ability to heal and maintain itself. Taking this identical concept to skincare made natural sense to healthy skincare maintenance where the products themselves recognize the whole person rather than just a part of them.
Different systems in skincare products work in many different ways. Conventional chemical-based products work by suppressing the symptoms without actually dealing with the cause of the skin problem. For example, if someone has acne, they will traditionally use a drying chemical and an antibacterial agent to kill the bacteria in the pimples. Sophyto would recommend a course of topical Prebiotic Actives which helps support skin friendly flora whilst suppressing the P. acnes bacterium – this is what we refer to as treating the cause not the symptoms. Symptoms are the body's reaction to the cause of a health problem and simply stopping the symptoms does not cure the problem, it just masks its presence.
Sophyto products recognize the holistic integrity of each and every individual person, hence it does not differentiate between skin type, sexuality, age or ethnicity because each person's body will only use what it needs from that product. Sophyto therefore works to individually balance and supplement each person's needs for excellent short and long term benefits.
Sophyto is made from natural substances and processed in a way that unites dermatological efficacy and unique product performance in preventative skincare.
