Product reviews from our experts…

I love how easily it removes all of my makeup and with minimal effort as it melts into my skin. I am also impressed with how much Saya are doing in terms of their social, ethical and environmental responsibilities! What stands out to me the most is their long standing commitment to sponsoring The Orangutan Project and their sustainability efforts in terms of reducing plastic waste and supporting local and Australian communities.
