Why I created Somora
Hi, I'm Zee. I’ve struggled with dry, tired eyes for over a decade. I was working in tech and spent most of my days in front of a laptop, and my nights doom-scrolling didn’t help.
I tried it all: endless drops, disposable self-heated masks, even a $35 microwave “bean bag” mask my optometrist recommended. The heat was inconsistent, and it was inconvenient for travel — since not every place has a microwave. Drops and disposables felt wasteful, expensive, and unnatural. I eventually gave up, frustrated by the lack of a real solution.
I started dreaming of a mask with gentle, adjustable warmth, crafted from sleek silk — soft and comfy enough to sleep in. After countless late nights of research, I finally found a top silk supplier in a region with over 2,000 years of silk craftsmanship and deep expertise in heat-tech wellness products. I worked closely with them to turn that dream into reality.
That dream became the Restora Heated Silk Eye & Sleep Renewal Mask. Just 15 minutes a day left my eyes refreshed, my sleep deeper, and even helped my mom who has battled insomnia for years fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer and wake up more energized.
What started as a way to soothe my own eyes has become a daily ritual I can count on — one that keeps me feeling rested, restored, and ready for brighter days ahead. I believe that can be true for you too. If you ever have feedback or questions, I’d love to hear from you: hello@somora.co.
