What is Phyris FoREST SOMI?
Phyris FoREST SOMI opens the FoREST collection, a German line inspired by a walk through the forest. Phyris built SOMI as the first active step after cleansing. The aim of this creamy, gel-like primer is to hydrate the skin immediately. Its second aim is to set the skin up so the FoREST products layered on afterward can do more.
This 75 ml tube is the size made for a home bathroom counter. The idea is to work it into a daily routine rather than save it for occasional use.
Key benefits of Phyris FoREST SOMI
- Sets up the rest of the routine: as the first active step, it is designed so later FoREST products perform better.
- Hydrates on contact: Phyris built the creamy, gel-like texture to hydrate immediately.
- Shields against urban stress: it contains liposomally encapsulated moss extract, formulated to help protect skin from stress-causing city influences.
- Absorbs quickly: a light, layerable feel, so it will not get in the way of the products you apply on top.
Key ingredients in Phyris FoREST SOMI
Moss extract liposomes come from spreading earthmoss (Physcomitrella patens). The plant-based extract sits inside liposomes so it can support the skin’s moisture content and reinforce its barrier. The same encapsulation is also there so it can help protect the skin from stressful, urban conditions.
In addition, a phyto moisturizer is included for intensive moisture retention. This plant-based carbohydrate complex comes from a natural blend of corn-derived sugars. Finally, meadowfoam seed oil and squalane round out the lightweight gel-cream base.
How to use
- Before anything else, cleanse the skin thoroughly.
- Then smooth a hazelnut-sized amount of FoREST SOMI over the face, neck and décolleté.
- Follow immediately with the rest of the FoREST line, such as FoREST Elixir, Light Cream or Gel Cream.
Who it is for
Phyris positions SOMI for all skin types. Its intended user is anyone building a FoREST routine at home who wants the products that follow to work harder. Because it is a priming step, it is best to pair it with other FoREST products rather than use it on its own.
