Soteria was born out of a personal journey and a pressing need for change. I'm Laura, and I founded Soteria after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease on my 16th birthday—a life-changing moment that meant removing gluten from my diet entirely. Despite careful efforts, I continued to get sick due to cross-contamination, whether at restaurants with friends or even in my own kitchen.

Getting sick from hidden gluten isn't just uncomfortable—it can derail an entire day, sometimes even a week. I realized that if I was struggling this much, countless others probably were too. That’s what inspired the creation of so-sure, our first product.

At Soteria, our mission is simple: 1) to protect and empower people with gluten sensitivities through smart, effective, and science-backed solutions and 2) to provide completely safe cleaning products for food surfaces.
