Spotlight on Somic: A Pioneer of Vegan-Friendly Beauty

In our small Perth world of local business, there's something truly special about those that emerge from a passion project, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, we shine a light on Somic, a Perth-based company that has made its mark in the world of handcrafted, vegan-friendly beauty products.

Getting Started with Somic

Somic's journey began after its founder, who had been living in the United States, returned to Perth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Like many of us, the lockdowns provided an unexpected opportunity to explore new interests. For Somic, this meant spending quality time experimenting with new recipes and ideas.

Crafting Vegan-Friendly Beauty

One of the standout features of Somic is its commitment to crafting products using vegan-friendly ingredients and organic essential oils. Each product is lovingly handcrafted in Perth, ensuring the highest quality and care go into every item. This commitment to sustainability and ethical practices aligns perfectly with MarketLife's values, making Somic a natural fit within our community.

Full-Time Dedication

Somic isn't just a side project or hobby; it's a full-time commitment. This level of dedication speaks to the passion and determination behind the brand, as it strives to provide exceptional products to its customers.

Challenges Along the Way

Every small business faces its share of challenges, and Somic is no exception. The initial hurdle was the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted businesses worldwide. Now, as the world grapples with a cost-of-living crisis, Somic continues to navigate these uncertain waters.

Future Goals

Looking ahead, Somic has big dreams. Their goal is to establish a network of stockists and small stores in shopping centres, expanding their reach and making their products even more accessible to the community.

The Beauty of the MarketLife Connection

Somic has found a welcoming home within the MarketLife family, and they cherish the opportunity to connect with new faces who share their passion for handcrafted products. The market environment allows them to meet people who appreciate the artistry and dedication that goes into every Somic creation.

Nullarbor: A WA-Inspired Collection

Somic's latest offering is the Nullarbor collection, inspired by the beauty of Western Australia. Nullarbor 6 Body Wash, one of the standout products, is formulated with plant-derived ingredients. It not only cleanses the skin but also deeply nourishes and moisturises it, leaving your skin irresistibly soft. The fragrance is a harmonious blend of earthy, spiced, and nutty notes, featuring hyacinth, myrrh, nutmeg, sweet marjoram, blackcurrant, and blood orange.
