Governing the Selection Process
Sornev Collective selects products under the following principles: each item in the catalogue is reviewed for ingredient transparency before listing, supplier documentation is requested where available, corrections are noted in the catalogue record, and the selection team discloses any commercial relationships that could influence inclusion.
Independence in Curation
The Sornev Collective catalogue is assembled by an independent selection team whose guiding concern is the integrity of the items presented. This means each body care formulation and each supplement complex is assessed on the basis of its ingredient record, not its commercial visibility.
There is a long tradition in independent publishing of regarding the editorial record as separate from commercial considerations. The selection team applies that tradition to the wellness catalogue. A product's place in the range is determined by ingredient documentation and sourcing consistency, not by marketing investment.
Where a commercial relationship exists between the catalogue and a supplier, that relationship is disclosed in the catalogue record. Readers may request the disclosure log via the correspondence address.
"Products listed in the Sornev Collective catalogue are presented for informational purposes and reflect the selection team's observations on everyday body care and wellness supplement routines."

Initial Ingredient Review
Each potential catalogue entry begins with a review of its listed ingredients. The selection team assesses the ingredient record for completeness and cross-references known botanical sources. Body creams are reviewed for their emollient base and active botanical components. Supplement complexes are reviewed for their vitamin and mineral composition.
Supplier Documentation Request
Where available, the team requests supplier documentation confirming the origin of key ingredients — cold-pressed oils, botanical extracts, and mineral sources. Suppliers who provide detailed traceability records are noted in the catalogue entry. Where documentation is not provided, this is recorded and visible to readers.
Evidence-Informed Selection
Products in the Sornev Collective catalogue are selected based on published ingredient research and reviewed for sourcing transparency before listing. The team does not make claims about the specific performance of any item; the catalogue presents selections based on the observable properties of listed ingredients.
Catalogue Listing and Record
Once an item passes the ingredient review and sourcing assessment, it is listed in the catalogue with its ingredient notes and supplier attribution. The listing is dated. Any subsequent change to the product formulation or sourcing results in an updated catalogue record. Corrections are not suppressed.
Ongoing Review Cycle
Catalogue entries are subject to periodic re-review. If a supplier's ingredient sourcing changes, or if new information about a listed ingredient becomes available through published research, the selection team revisits the entry. Products may be removed or amended as a result of this ongoing review.
Reader Correspondence
Readers who hold relevant information about a listed product — sourcing documentation, ingredient corrections, or supplier changes — are encouraged to submit this via the catalogue correspondence address. All substantive correspondence is reviewed by the selection team within two working days.
Body Care Formulation Notes
The Sornev Collective body care catalogue focuses on formulations whose active components are plant-derived, cold-pressed, or botanical in origin. Key ingredients across the body cream range include shea butter, cold-pressed plant oils, vitamin E, herbal infusions, and mineral-rich botanical extracts.
Each body cream entry in the catalogue includes a notation of its primary emollient base and any documented botanical active. The selection team does not include body creams whose full ingredient lists are not disclosed by the supplier.
Supplement Composition Notes
The supplement catalogue encompasses daily vitamin complexes, vitamins 50+ formulations, and energy support supplements. The team reviews each supplement for its vitamin and mineral composition, including B-complex, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc, Iron, Magnesium, and Omega-3 content.
Supplement entries note the specific nutrients listed on the formulation, the daily reference intake percentage where declared, and the format (capsule, capsule, softgel). The team does not list supplements whose nutrient composition is not fully disclosed by the supplier.
What the Catalogue Is and Is Not
Sornev Collective is an independent wellness catalogue presenting body care and daily supplement selections. The catalogue is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body. It is not a retailer. It is not a regulator. It does not make recommendations about the management of any individual's personal wellness requirements.
The catalogue is intended as informational. It reflects the selection team's observations on everyday body care and wellness supplement routines. We recommend speaking with a qualified wellness or nutrition professional before introducing any new supplement or body care routine to your daily life, particularly if you have specific personal requirements.
These principles are not merely stated policy. They govern each individual listing, each editorial decision, and each response to reader correspondence. The selection team regards transparency as the foundation of an independent catalogue's credibility.
About the Methodology
Questions regarding the catalogue selection process, ingredient sourcing standards, and editorial independence are addressed below.
A product is removed when its ingredient sourcing changes materially, when the supplier can no longer provide requested documentation, or when published research raises relevant questions about a listed ingredient. Removal decisions are taken by the selection team and recorded with a date in the catalogue log.
The catalogue does not restrict supplier type by commercial size. The selection criterion is ingredient transparency and documentation quality. Suppliers of any scale are considered on the same basis. Any commercial relationship between the catalogue and a supplier is disclosed in the relevant product entry.
Submissions for catalogue consideration are welcome via the correspondence address at 25 Bewdley Street, London N1 1HB, United Kingdom EC1A 4HJ, or by email at [email protected]. Submissions should include a full ingredient list, supplier documentation, and any available sourcing records. The selection team reviews all submissions within the standard correspondence window.
The catalogue is an independent publication and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or regulated by any commercial, governmental, or institutional body. The selection process is governed by the editorial principles published on this page.
