About SourSop

Welcome to SourSop, where we believe that every product you buy should empower you with knowledge and confidence. Founded with a mission to simplify your shopping experience, SourSop is your go-to platform for transparent ingredient information, personalized recommendations, and connections with like-minded users who share your values.

Our Mission

At SourSop, we understand the unique challenges that Black consumers face when it comes to finding products that truly meet their needs. The market is often flooded with products that don’t cater to our specific concerns or that lack transparency about their ingredients. Our mission is to bridge this gap by creating a trusted community where users can easily access accurate information about the products they use daily, ensuring that you know exactly what you’re putting on your body, in your home, and in your life.

What We Offer

SourSop is more than just a product review app—it’s a movement towards informed decision-making, healthier living, and equity in the marketplace. Our platform combines advanced AI technology with a supportive community of individuals who care about what they buy. Whether you’re searching for skincare products, hair care, or household items, SourSop offers:

• Personalized Recommendations: Our AI assistant, Sis, curates suggestions based on your unique preferences, helping you discover products that align with your values and lifestyle while also recommending healthier alternatives that meet your needs.

• Community-Driven Insights: Connect with like-minded users who share their honest experiences, tips, and reviews. In a world where Black consumers often face limited choices and less representation, together we can navigate the marketplace with confidence and make better choices for our health and well-being.

• Transparent Ingredient Information: Easily access clear and comprehensive ingredient breakdowns so you know exactly what’s in the products you’re considering. We aim to demystify product labels and provide the clarity that is often lacking in the market, especially for products aimed at Black consumers.
