Our lipo-soluble form of vitamin C demonstrates higher skin penetration than water based vitamin C’s, promoting collagen synthesis, skin radiance and luminosity and superior DNA protection.
Normalises cell function and enables good collagen and elastin production and pigment control. It stimulates skin repair, increases skin thickness and spurs on cell renewal. Vitamin A is also an effective acne treatment, decreasing enlarged pores and improving skin texture and tone.
One of the skincare industry’s most efficacious ingredients, Vitamin E possesses superior antioxidant activity and protects skin cells from ultraviolet light, pollution and other elements that produce free radicals which damage skin by breaking down collagen and elastin, causing signs of aging. Vitamin E fights against and repairs the damage caused by these free radicals, enabling the skin’s structure to stay intact, helping to reduce transepidermal water loss and strengthening the skin’s barrier function.
A combination of the most antifungal, antibacterial, skin-compatible oils such as squalane olive oil, meadowfoam and evening primrose oils. Highly anti-inflammatory and excellent in treating eczema and dermatitis. This unique combination acts as an environmental barrier to enable moisture retention and epidermal protection.
All of the data around vitamin A and pregnancy is based around oral consumption. Vitamin A applied topically is locked in the skin and cannot be absorbed into the blood stream and is therefore safe for use during pregnancy.
We always recommend to begin your daily applications from the second trimester onwards should you have any concerns.
It is recommended when using a vitamin A product to apply sunscreen befoare sun exposure.
For skin to look fresh, plump and healthy, it requires two types of hydration: water and lipids. This is why you should always apply moisturiser to damp skin.
To boost product performance, apply a layer of Sans [ceuticals] Activator 7 Body + Hair + Face Oil while skin is wet. This creates a hydrolipidic film, trapping in moisture for double-duty nourishment, leaving skin soft, smooth and luminous.
Oil dissolves oil, making Activator 7 a highly effective makeup remover. Simply wipe with a cotton pad to remove makeup and residue without stripping or altering the skin’s pH. This will leave skin feeling fresh, soft and nourished.
To restore and nourish hair, apply 2—3 drops to the palm of your hand and work through damp mid-lengths and ends to lock in vital moisture.
While we sleep, the body undergoes cleansing and repair. This time allows cells to utilise the active ingredients in Activator 7. For a potent night serum, apply a few small drops and press into skin.
Activator 7 protects and hydrates the skin barrier while providing a sleek, close shave.
Bathing is one of the most important treatments for eczema and dermatitis as water hydrates and softens the stratum corneum [the top layer of skin], allowing your moisturiser to be more thoroughly absorbed. Bathing also removes allergens, irritants and dry, built-up skin cells.
Perform cleansing at night as it prevents irritation or further drying out while sleeping. It also allows moisture to be more thoroughly absorbed into the dermal layers of your skin.
Cleanse with GOJI BODY + FACE CLEANSING OIL. Apply to damp skin. Product will emulsify with water and turn milky. Use on both face and body.
Exfoliate with BIO ACTIVE BODY EXFOLIANT once a week to remove dry, dead skin cells as they prevent the key ingredients in ACTIVATOR 7 BODY HAIR + FACE OIL from getting through to nourish and hydrate the dermal layers of your skin.
While skin is still wet, liberally apply ACTIVATOR 7 BODY HAIR + FACE OIL to body, face and neck, paying special attention to problem areas.
Keep your ACTIVATOR 7 BODY HAIR + FACE OIL on hand in the shower at all times. Applying while skin is still wet creates a hydrolipidic film that locks in moisture to intensify hydration.
NOTE: We recommend applying Activator 7 to wet skin as it increases product absorbency and prevents any greasy, oily residue that can come from applying oil to dry skin.
WITHOUT: Animal testing, artificial fragrances, sulfates, silicones, petrochemicals, parabens, PEGs, phthalates or artificial colours.
Safe for use during pregnancy.

Our scientists believe there is no hierarchy when it comes to the skin on your face versus the skin on your body—it all requires the same calibre of ingredients and care.
We believe it is better to have fewer items in your bathroom that are used more frequently, ensuring potency and freshness. This approach reduces clutter while also being kinder on the wallet.
Sans [ceuticals] products and formulations are not tested on animals. Prototypes are rigorously tested on an array of cosmetologists, therapists, beauticians, and people in Lucy’s life, until the perfect formulation is created. ACTIVATOR 7 BODY HAIR + FACE OIL is 100% vegan.
After exhaustive research into the safest preservative systems available today, Sans [ceuticals] chose the following:
An Ecocert approved, multi-use, broad spectrum preservative system that is a synergistic blend of organic acid and alcohol. Meets COSMOS standards and is NATRUE Certified—NATRUE is a non-profit organisation that provides certification guaranteeing the ingredient is genuinely natural. NATRUE also guarantees the ingredient is Soil Association approved and not tested on animals.
Winner of the UK Green Technology design award, this new generation preservative is fully biodegradable and a new, environmentally friendly alternative on the natural-care market. Scores a ‘low hazard’ 1 out of 10 on EWG's Skin Deep® Cosmetics Database—a US, non-profit, environmental organisation that specialises in research and advocacy in the areas of toxic chemicals.
This powerful herb has superior antioxidant strength, making it a favourite in the preservation of food and cosmetics. Rosemary extract is used to slow microbial growth on food and prevents oxidation of oils in skin care formulations.
Discovered by the French in the 1850s and derived from the berries of the mountain ash tree, potassium sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid. It is primarily used as a food preservative to inhibit moulds and yeasts in many foods, such as cheese, wine, yogurt, dried meats and apple cider.
Our fragrance [fragrance is a term required by EU regulations] is 100 percent natural and extracted using CO2 supercritical extraction. This is one of the cleanest and purest ways of obtaining extracts and actives from ingredients and eliminates the need for potentially harmful solvents such as hexane, often used in the manufacture of ‘absolute' and 'fragrance oils’. This method also produces a more alive, rich and spirited aroma.
Potency, purity and origin of source are key to our formulations. At Sans [ceuticals], understanding the methods and practices of our suppliers is more important than a certified stamp [which can ultimately represent as little as 5 percent in a formulation]. Instead, using sound, clean science, we take highly active technologies and suspend them in a foundation of pure, natural and safe ingredients to ensure our products activate and optimise cellular health. We believe being organic is simply not enough—a pure + active approach is the future of modern skincare.
