Our Philosophy

At Sage Skin, we focus on repairing and restoring the skin’s outermost layer, the stratum corneum, along with its natural barrier and defence systems. These defences can be weakened by factors such as genetics, stress, disease, or environmental exposure. Corneotherapists follow strict guidelines to support these systems, rather than disrupt them. To put it simply- would you live in a house with a damaged, open roof and no protection from bad weather

Corneotherapeutic skincare never contains petroleum-based ingredients, fragrances, conventional emulsifiers, preservatives, parabens, mineral oils, colours, or dyes. At Sage Skin, you will be educated on the detrimental effects these can have on your skin. We are proud to partner with dermaviduals, who replace preservatives and emulsifiers with phosphatidylcholine- an ingredient that naturally forms lipid membranes similar to those of your own cell membranes.

The modalities within our bespoke treatments are also carefully chosen to align with corneotherapeutic principles. We do not use dermabrasion, dermaplaning, ablative or dermal-ablative treatments, or chemical peels. Corneotherapists work to repair, not break down- we never want to disrupt those first three lines of barrier defence.

As corneotherapists, we follow a logical path to find and address the root causes of skin conditions, rather than simply treating the symptoms. We rely on in-depth consultation and an individualised approach, because one size does not fit all.
