Ethical Practices
Sage Quintessential prioritises ethical practices through transparency, fairness and responsibility in operations. The brand sources sandalwood from Bulnesia arborea (green sandalwood) and Pterocarpus soyauxii (African red sandalwood) using ethical and regulated methods, collabourating with trusted suppliers who comply with local and international regulations to minimise environmental impact. The AGASTYA comb is handcrafted in provincial China by artisans working in safe, fair conditions, with a commitment to cruelty-free production processes. By fostering relationships with suppliers and artisans, Sage aims to certify exotic materials and promote sustainable practices to protect species and ensure responsible sourcing for the future.
Sustainable Practices
Sage Quintessential incorporates sustainability in their products, exemplified by the AGASTYA comb made from biodegradable red and green sandalwood, which stores carbon as the trees grow. The comb is designed for longevity, twice the thickness of typical market options, thus reducing wood waste and ensuring it lasts for generations. Their eco-friendly packaging utilises flax-linen and bamboo lyocell, along with biodegradable plastic bubble wrap and tape that decompose 90% faster than conventional plastics, avoiding microplastics. Furthermore Sage aims to promote mindful beauty practices and reduce waste in the beauty industry by encouraging sustainable consumption with multifunctional products.
Social Impact
Sage Quintessential is focused on creating positive local and global impacts through sustainable sandalwood products while promoting awareness in the beauty and wellness industry. Their comb designs draw inspiration from traditional practices such as meridian massage, Gua Sha and Shu Fa, honoring ancient Chinese healing methods and supporting skilled artisans through fair compensation. The brand emphasises customer education by offering resources on Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic practices and Western scientific methods related to gentle hair care. Furthermore Sage advocates for sustainability and inclusivity with a one-time purchase model, reducing waste and promoting mindful consumerism.
Product Reviews by Experts
I have used many many beauty tools in my time as a beauty journalist and probably none as beautiful and special as this one. Firstly, the gorgeous wood is a revelation. Unlike stones and crystal, it will never break if dropped and the timber just feels so lovely in the hands. I enjoyed using it on others, but also thoroughly enjoyed it’s use for self-massage. Unlike many tools touted for use on the scalp, I found this one superior to anything else- the beautiful smooth texture of the timber doesn’t get caught in the hair and the practice has become fairly addictive for me, to release tension all over the head and neck. The packaging is a real stand-out too. It gave the whole experience a sense of luxury and ritual. In an industry often driven by fast consumption, this brand is refreshingly focused on timelessness and crafting the kind of tool that can be cherished. It seems as though the practices are not just about reducing waste, but genuinely inspiring a slower, more intentional style of wellness. I’m so impressed!
The Sage Quintessence AGASTYA Sandalwood Comb has become a fast favourite in my evening routine to ground me back into my body and provide deep relaxation. They are so beautifully crafted and provide the most nourishing scalp and body massage that instantly relieves stress and tension while being gentle on my hair. I also love using the smooth edge along the contours of my face for my Gua Sha massage. This all natural tool is a must in your self care routine! As a Gua Sha teacher, I love that the combs are inspired by ancient practices and that Sage are honouring these traditions by working directly and fairly with Chinese artisans. The knowledge and wisdom held in these traditions is so potent and I love that Sage is encouraging more people to incorporate these practices into their routines with their natural and sustainable range.
The comb felt weighty and substantial in the hand and using it created a soothing scalp massage experience that encouraged slow, mindful self-care. The smooth, rounded teeth glided easily through hair without pulling, making it gentle for both hair and scalp. I’m particularly impressed by the brands commitment to ethically sourcing exotic sandalwood species through regulated suppliers and their willingness to acknowledge challenges while striving for certification and improvement.
