Our story · Denver, Colorado · Est. 2019

Made with care. Tested for trust. Sold face to face.

We're Paul and Tonya — two fifty-something Colorado athletes with the same aches, short nights and long to-do lists as everyone else.

SOSS exists because we wanted natural wellness products we could understand, trust and actually use ourselves.

SOSS — our story

Chapter one

It started with our own knees.

We've spent our lives outdoors — tennis, trails, ski season, the whole Colorado catalog — and our bodies keep the same score everyone's does. Sore joints after a long round. Nights that end at 1am. The afternoon fade you start planning around.

When we first went looking for natural support we found hype instead: mystery blends, wild claims, and labels that fell apart under one hard question.

So in 2019, we started growing mushrooms.

We built a clean room in Denver and learned dual extraction the slow way — fruiting bodies, small batches, a lab report behind the products we make.

Chapter two

Then we stood behind a booth.

It was the most old-fashioned thing in retail. Farmers markets, festivals, mountain towns — talking with people face to face about sleep, stress, focus, energy, recovery and simply feeling better.

Something important happened.

People came to us looking for an outcome. They wanted to sleep through the night. Stay sharp in the afternoon. Recover from the things they loved doing. Feel calmer. Hurt less. Keep going.

Thousands of those conversations changed the way we thought about SOSS.

Chapter three

Wellness became the mission.

Today, SOSS Wellness brings the same curiosity, transparency and personal standard we started with to a broader world of natural wellness products.

We still ask the same question we asked in the beginning: Would we take this ourselves?

The answer is yes for everything on the shelves.

What we hold ourselves to.

Clean ingredients

No mystery blends and no ingredient lists designed to hide behind marketing. We choose ingredients we can explain and products built for a clear purpose.

Testing & transparency

Trust shouldn't require guesswork. We believe in clear labels, responsible sourcing and accessible product information and lab testing where applicable.

Built for a purpose

We start with how you want to feel — sleep, stress, energy, focus, recovery — then look for ingredients and formulations that make sense. No trend chasing just because something is having a moment.

Real human guidance

This brand was built answering questions at market booths. Ask us anything. A real person still answers.

We are the customer

We're not chasing a trend — we're building the company we wanted to buy from.

We want to know what something is, why it's there, how to use it and whether we can trust the people selling it.

We assume our customers want the same.

That's why our mission is simple: help people understand natural wellness so they can take back control of how they feel.

Warmly, Paul & Tonya
