What is Phyris SPICEup Somi?
Phyris SPICEup Somi is the active-ingredient primer that opens every SPICEup routine. Phyris describes it as the door into “the mystical world of SPICEup.” It is a light, refreshing formula that hydrates the skin. It also prepares the skin, so the SPICEup care products that follow can develop their full effect.
Its key active is a nanosomally encapsulated Coenzyme Q10 with a timed-release mechanism. Over the course of wear, the Q10 then works to protect skin cells and support the skin’s regeneration process.
Key benefits of Phyris SPICEup Somi
- Primes for better results: prepares the skin, so the SPICEup products that follow work more effectively.
- Timed-release Q10: the nanosomal encapsulation aims to release Coenzyme Q10 gradually rather than all at once.
- Protects skin cells: Phyris adds Q10 as an antioxidant that also helps protect against everyday stress factors.
- Light, hydrating texture: refreshes and hydrates without interfering with the products you then layer on top.
Key ingredients
Coenzyme Q10 is the lead active. In its nanosomally encapsulated form, Phyris calls it Q10 Lipocaps. Q10 is one of the most-studied antioxidants in cosmetics. It also has a reputation for supporting cellular metabolism, which helps protect skin against everyday environmental stress.
In addition, the encapsulation aims for particularly good skin absorption. The formula’s Phyto Moisturizer complex then supplies the light hydration that gives Somi its primer feel. This complex draws on plant-derived humectants such as saccharide isomerate and acacia senegal gum.
How to use Phyris SPICEup Somi
- First, cleanse the skin thoroughly.
- Then distribute a roughly hazelnut-sized amount of Somi on the face, neck and décolleté.
- Allow it to absorb before applying the rest of your SPICEup products.
- Finally, follow with Gel 2 Oil Mask, Light Cream, Rich Cream or Eye Cream as needed.
Who it is for
Phyris formulates Somi for all skin types, since its job is preparation rather than a standalone treatment effect. As a result, it suits anyone using the SPICEup line. It also fits anyone who wants an antioxidant-forward primer step before a Phyris routine.
Retail size vs. professional size
This listing is the 200 ml professional tube. Phyris sizes it for spas that apply Somi as a primer step in many client treatments. For everyday home use, however, Phyris also sells this primer in a smaller tube.
