SBTRCT’s mission is to create the highest performing skincare with the lowest environmental impact. We have one guiding principle; less is more. By stripping out all the things we don’t need in life, we are more able to love the things we have made a conscious choice to keep. We believe this to be the future of our society. We apply this ethos to the creation of our skincare - through our formulations, our aesthetic and our manufacturing processes. Zero waste & planet first with luxury skincare benefits you can see and feel, SBTRCT is where expert skincare meets sustainability. Innovative and expertly formulated, we use the very best proven ingredients such as Squalane, Glycerin, Vitamin C and Retinoids, to deliver the very best skincare results in a concentrated solid state, negating the need for water-based formulations, palm oil and plastic packaging. The SBTRCT range is certified cruelty-free and suitable for vegans, with domestically compostable packaging. Our solid bars of cleansers, balms and serums have been created for people who want to make a difference, without compromising on great skin or beautiful design.
