THE IDEA OF ENGINEERING

In 1946, the biologist Max Hotz and his wife, beautician, opened the Sothys Institute. Located at 163, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honore, this new place offers care protocols with, in the basement, a chemist and a preparer who develop the formulas used in the cabin and available for sale. Among them, a "nugget": Desquaderm, a deep and gentle cleanser. No scrub or makeup remover, it is clear skin. Reformulated in 1987, it is renamed Desquacrem.

RECIPE

The secret of this emulsion is in its formula that combines fatty acids and amino acids (active cocoamino acids of wheat) to better capture impurities without causing hyperseborrhoea. It is also associated with a plant, gypsophila, with cleansing action and source of radiance. All with a fresh and delicate floral fragrance.

THE USER MANUAL

Two to three times a week (one for sensitive skin), apply Desquacrem in a thin layer on the wet and cleansed face. After one minute of application, emulsify with a little water by making circular maneuvers, add a little more water until the product is removed, then rinse. Use a cotton soaked in lotion to perfect the whole thing. You can then make a scrub to brighten and brighten the complexion .
