What is Phyris FoREST SOMI?
Phyris FoREST SOMI is the active-ingredient primer that opens the Phyris FoREST collection. FoREST, a German professional skincare line, takes its inspiration from a walk through the forest.
Phyris also describes SOMI as the doorway into the FoREST routine. According to the brand, it is a creamy, gel-like formula that hydrates the skin and perfectly prepares it for the care steps that follow. When applied directly after cleansing, it is designed to make every subsequent FoREST product work even more effectively.
Key benefits
- Primes the skin: formulated as the first active step after cleansing, so later FoREST products are designed to work harder.
- Immediate hydration: Phyris designed the creamy, gel-like texture so that it hydrates the skin on contact.
- Urban stress protection: the formula uses liposomally encapsulated moss extract, formulated to protect the skin against stress-causing urban influences.
- Light, layerable feel: absorbs quickly, so it does not interfere with the products applied afterward.
Key ingredients
Moss extract liposomes contain a plant-based extract from spreading earthmoss (Physcomitrella patens) in liposomally encapsulated form. They are formulated to support the skin’s moisture content, strengthen its barrier function and protect it against stressful, urban influences.
Phyto moisturizer is a plant-based carbohydrate complex, a natural composition of different sugars obtained from corn. Phyris includes it for intensive moisture retention in the skin. In addition, meadowfoam seed oil and squalane form the base of the lightweight gel-cream texture.
How to use Phyris FoREST SOMI
- To begin with, cleanse the skin thoroughly.
- Then distribute a roughly hazelnut-sized amount of FoREST SOMI on the face, neck and décolleté.
- Follow with the rest of your FoREST routine, such as FoREST Elixir, Light Cream or Gel Cream.
Who Phyris FoREST SOMI is for
Phyris positions FoREST SOMI for all skin types. The brand intends it for anyone using the FoREST line who wants to get the most out of the products that follow it. SOMI is the priming step of the collection. For that reason, Phyris recommends pairing it with other FoREST products rather than using it alone. Meanwhile, the larger 200 ml size suits estheticians applying it across many treatments.
