SOPAR International

The Leading Spas of Canada (LSOC) has acquired many resource partners throughout its tenure. One of its newest is SOPAR International, which joined LSOC in 2023 and was a gold level sponsor of the Aspire Soirée.

Headquartered in Québec and serving all of Canada, SOPAR International offers its meticulously curated selection of prestigious brands—Phytomer, Guinot, Vie Collection, and LASPA—to its spa partners. Each of the lines offers sophistication, cutting-edge technology, and uncompromising quality.

In addition, this Canadian organization partners with companies that commit not only to excellence but also to social and environmental responsibility. By partnering exclusively with brands that prioritize sustainability and ethical practices, SOPAR International is not just a distributor, it is a catalyst for positive change in our industry. From responsibly sourced ingredients to eco-friendly packaging, every aspect of SOPAR’s operations reflects its commitment to making a difference in the world.

Spa partners of SOPAR can attest to their second-to-none customer service and support. Once partners have chosen their product line(s), they can expect innovative marketing strategies, state-of-the-art training programs, and unparalleled customer support. SOPAR is more than just a distributor with its commitment to quality, dedication to sustainability, and focus on customer success; it is leading the charge and setting the standard for what it means to be at the forefront of professional beauty. Each of the lines it carries offers different ingredients, menu offerings, and results to ensure there is one (or more) for whatever a spa’s needs may be.

Phytomer—based in Brittany, France—has been a pioneer in harnessing the power of sea to deliver transformative spa experiences. This family-run business has been synonymous with marine-inspired formulations for nearly half a century, transcending traditional skincare with the finest botanicals. At its heart, Phytomer believes that beauty begins with wellness; it also has an unwavering commitment to nature, innovation, and excellence. With its patented oligomer ingredient, Phytomer products restore balance and harmony, leaving guests feeling refreshed and revitalized.

The Vie Collection focuses on cosmeceutical anti-aging solutions with cutting-edge dermatological ingredients to create products that combat the signs of aging like never before. From peptides to antioxidants, each ingredient is chosen for its ability to visibly correct signs of aging and restore youthful vitality to the skin.

Guinot has emerged as the ultimate partner for enhancing guest experiences and achieving unparalleled results. At its core is the philosophy of dedication to ethical beauty care and environmental responsibility. With over five decades of expertise, Guinot has remained steadfast in its commitment to cruelty-free practices and formulations free from parabens, aligning with today’s demand for clean and sustainable skincare.
