About Sabbia Co

Sabbia Co was born after ocean loving Burleigh Heads Founders Katie and Dave found themselves on a remote beach in Sri Lanka and devastated over the amount of single-use personal items they were surrounded by.

Katie has a huge passion for skin health and well-being, while Dave is a surfer duuude and green-thumb. They both do their bit in their home to reduce their footprint, but wanted to do more. And that’s why they launched Sabbia Co in September 2019.

An ethical brand with minimal impact on the environment, that creates unique facial kits out of sustainable, biodegradable, reusable and chemical free tools. These kits cleanse, exfoliate and remove makeup with just WATER!

Along with sustainably sourced and packaged skincare that is formulated by Katie herself. Katie then works with 3 Australian labs to bring her formulations to life.

Sri Lanka 2018

we found ourselves on a remote beach and devastated over the amount of single-use personal items we were surrounded by. When we arrived home we decided to minimise all single-use items in our home. As we started to research and test reusable products we fell in love with many amazing sustainable swaps. Our mission was no longer to overhaul our home but everyone else’s.

Meet The Maker (Katie)

Hello #sabbiasquad ! I’m Katie, I am the Founder and Formulator here at Sabbia Co. For as long as I can remember I have been passionate about skincare and ‘making potions’ as my 5-year-old self would say.

I grew up in Port Douglas, Queensland with an Italian Mum and Australian Dad. I would say that my Mum taught me about self love/care and to choose fresh healthy produce to help my body flourish. My Dad is an eager adventurer and was the one that helped me fall in love with the planet, almost every weekend and holiday was spent on the reef or out west looking at the star. Every Sunday was spent at my Nonna’s enjoying fresh homemade meals from produce sourced in her backyard. My family and upbringing are where I found my passion for the planet and the importance of paddock to plate or more so seed to skin (I did just make that term up). 

Throughout my late teens and early twenties, I had many friends struggle with hormonal acne and even experienced a little myself when coming off contraception. I saw friends using products on their faces that were bleaching their towels and thought this cannot be safe! The redness and inflammation of their skin showed that in fact, the products were striping and harmful, not to mention what was happening once the products were washed down the drain and into our waterways. 

This began a little hobby ‘Katie’s Essentials’ where I would make scrubs, facial oils, and balms for friends to help heal their skin. I had just turned 20 and Europe was calling, so I up and left my life with a backpack and no plan. 

My Journey

I have studied Cosmetic Chemistry and Traditional Chinese Medicine to be able to infuse scientific chemistry with natural plant medicine to create sustainable skincare that is results driven (with over 950, 5 star reviews to prove it).

Formulation Process

2 of our core values are ‘Authenticity’ and ‘Quality Products’ I love sharing the formulation process because we pride ourselves in the level of education, quality and testing that we put into every single product.

My Commitment

I am forever grateful to have the opportunity to work in a role that lights my soul up every single day, to connect and help customers reach their skin health goals, and most importantly to educate, create change and help our planet.

When I returned home in 2017 I met my now Husband Dave, who convinced me that a surf trip to Sri Lanka would be the perfect first trip together. Through long travel transfers, a few horrible hostels, hidden gems, and many samosas we hit it off. The trip was amazing until we arrived at the surf break that Dave hadn’t stop talking about. Not only were there no waves but the beach was littered with single-use personal care items (makeup wipes, toothbrushes, Qtips), my heart sunk.

When we arrived home we decided to minimise all single-use items in our home. As we started to research and test reusable products we fell in love with many amazing sustainable swaps. Our mission was no longer to overhaul our home but everyone else’s. And this is when Sabbia Co was born. 

We launched in September 2019, with 3 products. Our hero ‘face it face kit’, cleanse kit and tone kit, 3 kits that remove makeup/zinc, cleanse and exfoliate with just water. This was essential for us as we love to travel and pack light. 

As our community grew the need for sustainable skincare was a daily request, so for our first birthday, we launched sustainably sourced and packaged skincare. Something I had always dreamt of. Over the years I have studied Cosmetic Chemistry, Traditional Chinese Medicine (Gua Sha, Facial Massage, etc), and many other ‘alternative’ (as my Mum might say) practices.

I am forever grateful to have the opportunity to work in a role that lights my soul up every single day, to connect and help customers reach their skin health goals, and most importantly to educate, create change and help our planet.

Mostly amazing

I only use this under my eyes and slightly watered down as I’m prone to milia. I get hollow dark circles and this serum occasionally helps reduce the dark and plumps the skin around my eyes. When I don’t water it down it works much better however I found I was getting the tiniest of milia showing up.

My skin looks great

This cleanser is really lovely.It does actually make your skin glow and is perfect for sensitive skin as it leaves feeling clean but not ‘tight’
Only issue is don’t accidentally get it in your eyes as it does sting

Can I mask Everday?! AMAZING 🤩

Love this mask. Not only draws out all the nasties but you can SEE it happening!! My skin feels amazingly hydrated afterwards.

Feeling comfortable in my own skin FINALLY!

I have only been using the products for just over a week. I am five months post partum and suffer with pigmentation due to pregnancy. For the first time today I got ready and didn’t reach for my full coverage foundation, instead popped on the amazing BB cream for a little glow.

It just goes to show when your skin feels amazing that it’s okay to have imperfect skin. My skin is so hydrated and as each day goes by I feel more comfortable not covering it up pigmentation and all.
All the Products feel gentle on the skin and each steps leaves your skin hydrated.

Looking forward to being a repeat customer and looking after the planet.

Great moisturiser

The best moisturiser I have ever used. Actually helps control oil & shine. Melts into the skin wonderfully.

Disappointing BB Cream

Unfortunately I didn’t love the BB cream. I really like your ethos and was really hoping I would love it. It has poor coverage and didn’t absorb well on my skin. I found it be dry & almost non existent. Required extra application and left my skin looking dull. I tried playing around with skin care before application as you recommended but it just wasn’t it. Product was disappointing.

The Perfect Serum.

My skin concern is oily/breakout prone. I love this serum. It really feels like it soaks into the skin. Ive noticed my skin has been improving slowly over the last month of using the Collagen C Serum and the Multi- Vitamin Moisturiser and when I feel like I want a littlest extra I also apply the BB cream which doesn't break me out or cling to my pimples. Couldn't be happier. I just wish it came in a bigger bottle!!

Matcha magic

LOVE!!!!

Magic

This little bottle is pure magic. My skin feels and looks amazing. All my friends comment on how good it looks. My complexion is clearer and all I need is the beautiful mineral BB cream and I’m set. Love that it’s full of good, safe ingredients. Thank you for creating such an amazing product!

The holy grail

The holy grail of face masks. It soothes, it repairs, it cools, it brightens, it calms, it heals.
My skin is super sensitive to everything, I have rosacea and keratosis Polaris on my face and this masks calms it’s all down, soothes my redness and brings some life back to my skin. It’s also gentle enough for my daughters face so we love our selfcare nights in front of a movie.

Easy to make up, easy to apply and even easier to clean off. Doesn’t leave a thick residue like some of the masks you buy in store.

Just magic !

Love it ! Bought a sample of the niacinamide and it has brightened my face considerably

Beautiful product!

This is my favourite moisturiser, absolutely love it

Collagen C Serum

I started using the Collagen C Serum 8 weeks before my wedding and I love it! I have received so many compliments on how glowing and fresh my skin looks. I am also 48yrs old so thought it might not do that much for my skin but I’ve actually noticed a huge difference. I’m a fan and will continue to use.

Super refreshing!

This serum is the most uplifting and awakening face product to use in the morning. I’m awake a lot during the night with young children and often wake in the morning with tired eyes and feeling dull. This serum refreshes and hydrates my slimy. I love love love it!

BB cream

Wow.. I was not expecting it to be this good. Makes my skin look amazing .I have stopped wearing foundation, it's that's good. And have told everyone I can about it. I work in pharmacy, and also in a medical cosmetic clinic, so I know what I'm talking about. I will be buying more of the skincare range.

Amazing!!

Love the masks, the matcha is so refreshing on days I feel my skin needs some TLC, and the charcoal mask is a breakout buster. My favourite skincare, and the sustainability makes me so happy.
Keep up the great work 👍🏼👍🏼

Game changer!

This serum is amazing! Before using I was having daily hormonal breakouts. Since using almost nothing. Absolutely loving this product!

Glowing skin

I have been using this for 6 months now but I noticed results within 10 days. My old scars from my acne have faded, my skin looks bright and glowing. Use this in conjunction with the collagen c serum and you won’t regret it!

Collagen C Serum

Truly the best VitC Serum I've ever used. I will not buy any other! It actually brightens my skin and under eye area. It absorbs quickly, no residue or sticky feeling. BIG FAN!

SO BEAUTIFUL!

This beautiful deck of affirmations cards has brought so much positive plays into our day. Encouraging us to take a moment for morning practice and self love. We love having our affirmation card sit on our work desk all day to remind us of what we may need to hear! much loveeee xxx

Best BB cream ever made

I’m an oily, sensitive, acne prone skinned gal and this BB cream is the best I’ve found and I’ve tried them all. I hate how make up feels on my skin, but this is like a serum. I get oily at the end of the day but I do live in the tropics in the humidity. I’ve worn other Bb creams and I’m usually am covered in oil by lunch time. If you’re thinking of trying this, just do it. You won’t regret it! Thank you so much Sabbia team xx

Luxurious bb cream

The mineral bb cream is so lovely & creamy. It’s just glides on my skin for a luminous finish. My new fave in my skincare routine for sure!

Love this mask!

I use this mask once a week to detoxify and clear my skin. I have acne prone skin with some congestion and you can really notice all the stuff the mask draws out when it's drying. It leaves my skin feeling clean and clear!

Beauty Salon Owner

I found this course extremely helpful in terms of approaching ambassadors and influencers. There were many tips and tricks that I will be implementing into my business. Overall, definitely worth the investment.

Uplifting

What a beautiful gesture. Such thoughtful quotes which are bound to inspire many. Thanks Sabbia Co for the encouragement :)
