Purity & tradition
​A wise woman once told me to explore the place where my passions intersect and to build a home there. AmosSoma is that home, a return to the place I grew up, bringing experience and knowledge with me. My grandmother was a master gardener who used plants and their essential oils to craft everything from healing tinctures to luxury perfumes. The inspiration to pursue my graduate work in sustainable systems can be credited to her influence.
Each AmosSoma product is designed with elements that work in symbiotic relationship to support physical and emotional wellness while revealing your clearest, most radiant and healthy skin—without any dodgy chemical stuff. ​
