For us, skincare is personal.
We didn’t begin with the intention of becoming a skincare brand — Sana Haus was born out of necessity for better ways to address acne holistically.
From our founder — how an 11-year struggle with cystic acne inspired a holistic beauty brand.
Hi, I’m Sophia — the Founder and CEO of Sana Haus, a holistic esthetician, and published dermatology researcher.
Acne had been a (practically) life-long struggle for me, starting when I was just 11-years-old. After years and years of failed acne treatments and skincare products, failed diets, and supplements that were only making things worse, I did what many of us do: I turned to my own research for answers.
THE FOUNDATIONS OF SANA HAUS
The truth is: many holistic acne treatments fail to address acne effectively.
After digging deep into research, including through my time spent working in a dermatology research group, I had a brand new understanding of the skin, its physiology, and how my acne was forming. And when I turned to the ingredients I had been using in my skincare — it all finally made sense.
The conventional products I had used to treat my acne were drying, disruptive, or hormone-disruptive. But, the holistic products I was using weren’t any better.
The holistic skincare products I had been using contained comedogenic ingredients.
Despite many of the products I was using being labeled as non-comedogenic, my newfound understanding of the skin pointed to a different conclusion. The products I was using were very clearly comedogenic and contributing to my stubborn acne.
Jojoba oil, olive oil, and avocado oil were loaded with barrier-disruptive fatty acids, coconut oil with its inflammatory fatty acids, cocoa butter, shea butter — the list goes on.
SANA HAUS IS BORN
What I couldn’t find, I worked to craft myself.
This realization not only changed the trajectory of my own skin healing, but inspired the beginning of Sana Haus.
After carefully selecting the highest quality botanicals and standardized clinical extracts, I distilled all of my research into our very first product: the Clarity Bioactive Clearing Serum.
Since then, Clarity has helped hundreds of women achieve clearer skin, garnered hundreds of 5-star reviews, and become a staple in skincare routines around the world.
I couldn't be more honored that you love and appreciate the hard work, intuition, and thought behind Clarity and the rest of our Sana Haus products. It truly is the product of a thousand divinely-inspired baby steps that have culminated in what I believe to be a sophisticated, results-driven philosophy of supporting the skin.
As always, your support means the world. I can't wait to see where we go together!
All my love,
Sophia ♡
