Sukin is the Japanese word for “skin”. It is also the name of a wholesome Australian skincare brand that I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing in all of its natural beauty over the past several months. Needless to say, my skin and senses have never felt so nourished and awakened.
Sukin Australian Natural Skincare is a brand that encapsulates the very essence and inspiration behind this blog. It really is nature bottled up with pure intentions and sensual touch. Meticulously formulated for an unrivaled, full-body experience, with an enchanting signature scent filled with bursts of citrus, notes of lush lavender, and swirls of creamy vanilla. That my friend, is your new best friend, Sukin.
Everything we need to nourish our bodies can be found in nature. So at Sukin, that’s what we use.

The Sukin
Based in Melbourne, Australia, Sukin takes pride in its line of products offering nature-made and skin-safe formulas at a fair price point. Their products are 98.8% naturally derived, and reflect the brand’s mission to leave the world a better place for all. Here are a few of the impressive qualities and initiatives of the Sukin brand:
Fiercely protective of our animal friends: Sukin is a 100% certified cruelty-free company with absolutely no animal testing during manufacturing, testing, or procurement. It’s also 100% vegan with no animal by-products.
Environmentally conscious: Sukin supports many initiatives to keep sustainability at the forefront of all of their practices, which include a commitment to being Carbon Neutral, using recyclable, BPA-free packaging, and supporting worthy causes such as Trees for the Future and Reef Aid.
Safe for the water: Sukin ensures all of its products are safe for the ecosystem, from our water sources to our animal friends, and rich plant life. Their formulas are also biodegradable, free of microplastics, and non-GMO.
Safe for skin: Sukin is committed to product safety, and uses a natural antibacterial preservative called Phenoxyethanol at less than 1% concentration to keep their formulas safe and fresh.
Sukin is transparent about its formula standards, and openly shares which ingredients will never make the cut in its No List. Equally impressive is their Ingredient Glossary, a wonderful resource for new and seasoned green beauty enthusiasts looking to ditch and switch to a more holistic, low-toxin lifestyle.
