Bakuchiol: The Gentle, Natural Alternative to Retinol
Gentle yet powerful, bakuchiol is the natural, plant-based alternative to retinol that delivers visible results without irritation. It reduces fine lines, firms skin, and evens out tone by boosting collagen production, while its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties protect and soothe. Unlike retinol, bakuchiol is safe for sensitive skin, doesn’t cause dryness or redness, and can be used during the day without increasing sun sensitivity. Ideal for all skin types, including acne-prone skin. Bakuchiol is the key to radiant, youthful skin—naturally.

Why We Never Use Water In Our Products
Water itself is not bad; we need water, it sustains life. But, therein lies the problem. Where there is water, there can be life in the form of bad bacteria and harmful microbes. If there is even a drop of water in a product that is applied to the skin, a preservative MUST be used. It makes no difference whether that preservative is natural or synthetic, if the preservative is doing its job, it is killing bad stuff that can grow in the product . . . this is good. What is not good however, is the preservative will also kill the beneficial, good bacteria (flora) that live on our skin and protect our immune system. This can severely compromise our health. We must protect our skin flora, our microbiome, for our health and wellbeing.
We Believe in Skincare as Ritual
We believe simplicity is sacred and beautiful. That skincare is more than just a routine; it’s a quiet act of care. A moment to slow down, to breathe, to return to yourself. We trust in nature, as generations before us have. In its power to soothe, nourish, and restore, not just skin, but also spirit.
Every Sans formula is rooted in this belief:
That what’s whole, slow, and intentional is also what’s most effective. This is skincare with intention. Unhurried. Grounded in ritual. A beautiful way back to your center.

Favorite Skin Product of All Time!!
{Whipped Face Butter}
My sister first got this for me as a present, and I am addicted! I’m now on my third jar. I’ve tried other face butters and lotions and nothing compares. I have very dry skin and this works like magic, leaving me feeling moisturized but not greasy.

Silky
{Foaming Facial Cleanser}
As usual with Sans, this cleanser does the job in a gentle way with a pleasant scent and feels silky in the process. Have bought it before and will buy it again. Love it!
— Ellen M.
Removes Everything!
{Eye Makeup Remover}
Such a nice remover. Takes off all my waterproof makeup perfectly. It's a nice oil, I do sleep with it on as it says in the description and I really love how it makes the skin around my eyes so soft in the morning.
— Amy
Very Impressive!
{Whipped Body Butter}
I have to say I didn't know what a butter was and didn't know what to expect. This is an incredible product. It is exactly like they say, a whipped butter that moisturizes beautifully. It does last all day too, I don't find myself reapplying throughout the day. I HIGHLY recommend.

The Best of the BEST!
{Nourish Face Serum}
The GOAT of the Sans Skincare line!!! I love all Sans products but the night serum is my favorite. It turned my skin from dry and drab to firm and fabulous!!! If you can only have one product . . . this is the one. It also travels well and will keep you in business . . . no matter where you go!

Bakuchiol Serum is the Ultimate!
{Bakuchiol Serum with Ceramide 3}
This serum is a game-changer! I’ve been using it day and night for six weeks and the results have been amazing—my skin is dewy, clear, my few brown spots have faded, and I can see a noticeable reduction in dullness that has sadly come with the years. I love the lightweight texture and use it as a first layer before putting on my makeup, it gives my skin a radiant glow that lasts throughout the day. Prior to using this serum, I swore by CE Ferulic from Skinceuticals, this is definitely a worthy alternative but at a lower price point. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!
— Pamela W.
Love This Ritual!
{Daytime Ritual}
I've been using this Ritual for the past 2 years and I love it. Before I had breakouts, dry skin, flaking. This plant based ritual has put my skin back into balance. It looks much healthier and feels so good! Thank you so much!
— Lizzy H.
I Saw a Difference After the First Use!
{Charcoal Hemp Detox Mask}
I have never used anything like this. I really does have a 3 way action with the detox, the scrub and the moisturizing. It’s like 3 products in one and I love it! I shows a difference after the first use.
— Linda P.
