Founded by Emma Sutherland and Louise Turk, Sophie & Songest was born from a shared frustration: despite trying countless lip balms, neither could find a formula that delivered the lasting comfort and hydration they were looking for. Believing lips deserved the same level of care, innovation, and attention to detail as the rest of a beauty routine, they set out to create something better.
The resulting collection reflects their belief that lip care should never be an afterthought. Each formula has been developed, tested and refined with a focus on ingredient selection, sensorial textures and everyday performance, while the elegant, refillable pots have been designed to be treasured rather than discarded and replaced.
In a one-week consumer trial (August 2026*), conducted by Eurofins, over 94% of testers reported that Day Drench left a protective layer on their lips, while 86% agreed it had a smooth, pleasant texture and over 85% reported feeling nourished and instantly moisturised.
Over 90% of Dream Seal testers reported that the balm felt rich and suitable for overnight use, while over 85% found the texture smooth and pleasant, with the balm gliding on easily and evenly.
The brand’s philosophy extends beyond the formulas themselves. Sophie & Songest has created timeless outer packaging that can be kept and replenished with dedicated glass pot refills, offering an alternative to replacing the entire product each time. Refills are priced at £25 each.
Emma Sutherland, co-founder of Sophie & Songest, says: “We wanted to create the lip care we’d been searching for ourselves: products that deliver on performance without compromising on the ingredients or the experience. We’ve spent years refining every detail because we believe lip care deserves the same thought and attention as the rest of our skincare routine.
Louise Turk, co-founder of Sophie & Songest, adds: “We believe luxury should be felt in every detail, from the moment the formula touches your lips to the natural scent and beautiful pot you reach for each day. The refillable packaging was part of our vision from the very beginning; we wanted to create something people would love to use, keep and refill, rather than simply replace. For us, it’s that combination of considered formulations, sensorial pleasure and timeless design that makes Sophie & Songest different.”
With its understated luxury, combination of naturally derived ingredients, targeted skincare actives and refillable glass packaging, Sophie & Songest offers a fresh perspective on an everyday beauty essential. Softer, smoother, healthy-looking lips around the clock. Vegan. £35 balms, £25 refills.
