Sustainable Practices
Sans Ceuticals uses ingredients exclusively derived from sustainable, renewable sources and formulates all products without petrochemicals. Products are designed to be multi-functional to reduce overall consumption and packaging.

Product Reviews by Experts
I love how lightweight and travel-friendly this product is due to its waterless formulation. The packaging is also very well designed – compact, durable and leak-proof, making it practical for everyday use and travel. I value the brand’s holistic approach to sustainability, from waterless, multi-functional formulations and renewable ingredients through to thoughtful packaging choices and paper-based shipping materials. Their strong commitment to ethical employment practices, inclusive workplace culture and social-purpose partnerships adds further depth, showing a brand that is considering both environmental and human impact.
Unlike a lot of shampoo bars, this product is granule or powder-based, making it pretty light in comparison with bars. It has a pleasant scent. The outer cardboard packaging has tactile engraved print that’s easily readable by touch, so hypothetically, it’s easy to tell different lines of products apart. The brand keeps its manufacturing processes local and is able to make touchpoints on ethical, sustainability and social responsibilities within its model. I also like the fact that they’re contributing towards working with people with disadvantage, and actively supporting them in the workplace.
I like the stylish container – it looks really nice in the shower. It’s really great to see a company doing something different and shaking things up in a space that is so full of plastic. Being made in New Zealand is an awesome step that allows them to control more of their supply chain and guarantee it’s ethical – this is important to me.
