THE MAIN ORGANIC INGREDIENTS OF THE SOTHYS ORGANICS® RANGE.
Birch sap.
Derived from Sothys Advanced research
The sap is harvested in the border area between Cantal and Corrèze, a few kilometres from the Jardins de Sothys in Auriac.
Its manual harvest is carried out by a professional on carefully selected trees (age, diameter, etc.). Environmentally friendly, it begins in late February-early March when the sap rises in the birch and ends before the first buds bloom. After harvesting, the hole is filled with a wooden dowel to allow the tree to rebuild its bark.
Rich in sugars and minerals, birch sap is renowned for its moisturizing and revitalizing properties. A birch can produce up to 200 liters per day, Sothys takes between 5 and 10 liters per day per tree.
