Our story
Summer-Sage Botanical began the way most good things do — quietly, in a kitchen, with a handful of organic natural oils and a deep frustration with what was already on the shelves.
The founder
I started Summer-Sage after years of struggling to find skincare I could actually trust. Every product I picked up had a list of ingredients I couldn't pronounce — preservatives, synthetic fragrances, fillers. My skin was sensitive and nothing seemed to help.
So I went back to basics. I studied botanical formulation, sourced ingredients directly from organic suppliers and started making small batches in my kitchen. Friends asked for jars. Then strangers did. That's when I knew this was something worth sharing.
Every formula is still made in small batches. Every ingredient is chosen with intention. Nothing is hidden.

Our mission
We believe you shouldn't need a chemistry degree to understand what you're putting on your skin. Our mission is simple: make botanical skincare that is honest, effective, and completely transparent — from the field to the jar.
Every ingredient is plant-derived and traceable to its source. No synthetics, no shortcuts.
We formulate without preservatives. Small batches mean fresher product and nothing added to extend shelf life.
We work directly with small farms and cooperatives who share our values around land, labour, and sustainability.
Full ingredient transparency on every product. If we wouldn't use it ourselves, it doesn't go in the formula.
