SOMA in ancient greek (ΣΩΜΑ) means “BODY”…

Soma & Poetry: Remember, Body... by C.P.Cavafis

Body, remember not only how much you were loved,
not only the beds you lay on,
but also those desires that glowed openly
in eyes that looked at you,
trembled for you in the voices—
only some chance obstacle frustrated them.
Now that it’s all finally in the past,
it seems almost as if you gave yourself
to those desires too—how they glowed,
remember, in eyes that looked at you,
remember, body, how they trembled for you in those voices.

OUR STORY

Soma makes all-natural skincare, made for real people and their body (soma / σώμα / in ancient greek).

We believe in purity and simplicity of our ingredients, creating a company that we would prefer to buy from.

Here are some of our values:

  • We believe that skincare shouldn’t be complicated. We keep our ingredients lists simple with only beneficial ingredients and no “fillers” to create effective formulas.
  • Our products are multi-taskers, and often just one or two products are enough for every skincare need.
  • Skincare routines using Soma products are simple, enjoyable and effective.

Passion: we bring commitment, care and integrity to everything we do

Aim: reveal beauty
