Saya Skin turns 13
Australian brand, Saya Skin, is celebrating its 13th birthday this month.
Having suffered through many years of eczema and breakouts, Noosa local, Saya McDermott, sought skincare that would deliver results. She was discouraged by the lack of diversity in the market and the absence of natural, quality ingredients. After much research and study, she started formulating her own products, in her kitchen, and Saya Skincare came to life.
Today Saya Skin has expanded into a warehouse and office with an amazing all women team. The range is stocked across the world, helping women and men achieve their skin goals, using purely plant-based, natural ingredients.
"We've grown big, and fast, but we're still able to maintain our company values of providing a premium, accessible product, that is plant-based, certified organic and Australian-Made," said Saya Skin.
