Lately, we can’t stop washing our hands. Maybe it’s the way our new Charlevoix Boreal Blend Hand Wash smells, possibly it’s the fact that it doesn’t dry out our skin or better still, it’s the notion that we’re using non-soap soap that actually works… We can’t decide. But what we do know is that we’re now Sans Savon converts.
Not your typical skincare start-up, the Canadian brand was born out of a real-life escape plan: Sans Savon’s two founders, Eli and Erica Halliwell, traded the chaos of modern life for the quiet, rugged beauty of Charlevoix, Quebec. After years exploring coastlines and forests, they found balance in the boreal wilderness and so, decided to build a brand around that idea. So it makes perfect sense that Sans Savon believes you can get clean naturally, without stripping your skin or disrupting your microbiome. Think mindfulness meets grooming, with nature and science working together instead of against your body.
Their Charlevoix Boreal Blend Hand Wash is all that and more.
The soap-free cleanser is specifically crafted to deep clean without wrecking your skin’s natural barrier. Its formula removes 99.9 per cent of harmful germs yet feels more like skincare than sanitation. Fuelled with prebiotics, it helps keep your skin’s microbiome balanced while naturally rich fatty acids leave your hands soft instead of tight or chalky feeling. An infusion of sustainably sourced balsam fir, white spruce and black spruce essential oils deliver a scent that smells just like stepping into a boreal forest—fresh, woodsy and grounding. Labrador tea and a touch of citrus add a hint of zest and brightness.
And let’s not forget about the packaging. Sleek, minimal and built to refill again and again, the hand wash’s forever bottle is made from recycled materials for a greener footprint. You can see why we’ve been washing, rinsing and repeating regularly, can’t you.
Sans Savon Charlevoix Boreal Blend Hand Wash $55.00 each for 500 ml, available online at www.sanssavon.com.
