Lee Sutherland This exfoliant is exactly what it says on the packaging- gentle! It has a creamy, calming texture with just enough natural grit to smooth without irritating, which my sensitive skin really appreciated. My skin felt clean but not tight and it had a nice post-use glow without any redness or reaction. The subtle botanical scent gave it that little extra sensory moment and I love that it’s one of those rare scrubs you could use regularly without worrying about overdoing it. It’s clear Sanctum Organics has been walking the ethical talk long before it was trendy. The fact that they are certified organic, cruelty-free and vegan is a great base, but it goes deeper with their local production, biodegradable shipping materials and regular supplier audits. I also love that they’ve removed unnecessary cartons to reduce waste and are open about the challenges of working with natural preservatives. It feels like a genuinely values-led brand doing its best at every step, not just ticking boxes.Fiona Morouco The Sanctum Organics Gentle Face Exfoliant contains fine grains of rice bran and rose-hip seeds to gently exfoliate. It’s lightly scented and leaves your skin feeling lovely and smooth. I also love that the brand uses certified organic ingredients and the support that it has for local and global charities.Chloe Pacey Using this scrub before the included serum is a game-changer. I love the lightness of this product and it is the perfect combination of exfoliator, not too gritty, not too soft. I think this brand does a great job of ensuring its traceability and it goes above and beyond to check so many of the boxes that make it sustainable and ethical.
