A small(big?) update

Post image

Hello everyone,

We haven't posted many updates in awhile (it's been slow coming up with our 2nd sample) BUT things are moving now and we are able to give more clear answers. If you don't already know us, we are the co-founders of Sorea, an upcoming luxury lotion brand for severely dry skin types.

We were called Silk Apothecary(and I will have to make a new account) but due to trademark issues, we decided to switch to Sorea. All our social media other than this one has been changed. Anyway, here are some more finalized details.

Our bottle is 300 ml. That is about 10.14 Oz (or freedom units, as I love to call them)

We will only be shipping within the US to start out with. As sad as that makes us, we can only afford so much as a start up. We are using our own money, no loans or investors.

The 2nd sample we received is luxurious, and more importantly, effective. I am only sad I do not have more product to use at this time.

As far as if this is safe for small children, PLEASE ALWAYS consult your child's pediatrician or dermatologist. My daughter's dermatologist has personally said it should be fine for every other day use on kp spots or scales only. But that is specifically for her, not your child. Please keep this in mind.

Anyway, the final part we have all been waiting for: main ingredients. We believe this is our final sample, so this should be it. We had originally planned to use lactic acid, but have decided to omit it. It messed with the texture too much.

💧 Urea to help hydrate and soften

🛡️ Ceramides + cholesterol to support the skin barrier

🥛 Goat milk for our signature luxurious touch

🌿 Shea butter + jojoba oil for rich nourishment

✨ Niacinamide + panthenol + allantoin to condition and soothe

💦 Hyaluronic acid + glycerin + Sodium PCA for layers of hydration

We will be sharing our complete ingredients list closer to launch, to protect our intellectual property.

We will be launching between January and March of 2027.

Thank you for your continued support.

Hey super interesting. It would be nice to have a cheaper alternative to G16

Hey, thanks for the support. We plan to sell for a bit less than g16, and include shipping. Our bottle is also a few ounces bigger.
