Somebody

Somebody was founded by three friends – Marie, Austin, and Krystal. We came together from varying backgrounds to pursue a common goal: to build a self-care brand, backed by science, that combines the most potent and effective raw ingredients into life-enhancing products that look beautiful and are sustainably produced. With a strong focus on conscious living, education and personalized product curation, Somebody aims to redefine “wellness” in terms that build a positive connection between our health and well-being, our bodies, the city we live in, and the natural world. We are not here to shame you into purchasing a product on the pretense that it will make you feel more perfect and complete, rather, we are here to support and love you for exactly who you are. Somebody appreciates bodies of all shapes, colors, ages, abilities, and sizes and we celebrate the brains, brawns, and beautiful souls inside of them, too. All of our products are made with recyclable packaging and we take care to assess all packaging-related requirements against their environmental and humanitarian impact. We hope you like the ever-expanding array of Somebody products, our distinctive visual aesthetics, and the commitment to a unique customer experience that we have worked so hard to make real.
