Tips + Multifunctional Use

[01] HAIR REPAIR INFUSION

Wash hair with prescribed Sans [ceuticals] Wash. Squeeze out excess moisture and spritz 15-20 pumps through the mid-lengths and ends. Work through with fingers, then apply your Sans [ceuticals] Hydratant over the top. Leave for 5 minutes, then rinse. Use weekly to maintain optimum health.

[02] INTENSIVE HAIR REPAIR INFUSION

Wash hair with prescribed Sans [ceuticals] Wash. Squeeze out excess moisture and spritz 15–20 pumps of Moisture + Protein Infusion 20 through hair. Work through with fingers. Follow with 15–20 pumps of pH + Shine Corrector, working through with fingers. Apply your Sans [ceuticals] Hydratant over the top. Leave for 5 minutes, then rinse.

It is important that products are layered in this particular order. First saturate the hair with Moisture + Protein 20, followed by pH + Shine Corrector. This will close the cuticle, locking critical proteins and ceramides into the hair fibre.

[multi functionality]

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.

[testing + animal safety]

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. MOISTURE + PROTEIN INFUSION 20 is 100% vegan.

[preservative systems]

After exhaustive research into the safest preservative systems available today, Sans [ceuticals] chose the following:

Dehydroacetic Acid & Benzyl Alcohol

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.

Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate

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.

Rosmarinus Officinalis [Rosemary] Leaf Extract

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.

Potassium Sorbate

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.

[natural fragrance]

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.

[beyond organic]

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.

Travel Journalist Nina Karnikowski on The Coveteur

“Because of all the flying involved in my job, plus the ocean swimming I do as often as I can, keeping my hair hydrated is really important. I’ve recently fallen for Sans [ceuticals]; their products are nourishing, clean, and free of harmful additives like parabens, sulfates, and petrochemicals that our hair really doesn’t need. Their Moisture + Protein Infusion 20 is particularly delicious.”

Kimbra Audrey, photographer

"My hair has never looked or felt better! I actually really hate the organic vegan shampoos I’ve tried here in Paris so far, and I’ve tried maybe four or five different brands. Because my hair is so long, my roots get greasy really easily and my ends get dry, but the Balancing Wash and Moisture + Protein Infusion 20 have been working magic on my hair!"

Kate Hansen

"I have been using your products for a month now and I love them! I have fine, dry curly hair that loves to go frizzy. It has improved so much after using your products. The ultimate test—I recently coloured my hair. It is usually dry for a week or so following, even with using conditioning masks. I used the Nourishing Hair Wash, followed by Moisture + Protein Infusion 20, along with pH & Shine Corrector and to finish, the Nourishing Hair Hydratant. The result was lovely soft, curly, well behaved hair!"

Helen Tran, Sans Customer, Australia

"The ends of my hair had become brittle since using medicated shampoo. The Moisture + Protein Infusion 20 is a game changer. My ends now look alive, glossy and like I've just left the hair salon. I love its scent, so much I'd seriously want it as a perfume!"
