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.

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 :)

Lovely!

Leaves my skin feeling so soft, I love using it! The only reason I took off a star was simply because getting the right consistency to apply it always seems hard for me, even when I followed the instructions, but the mask itself does an amazing job.

Mineral BB cream

This product is beautiful and feels so light on the skin.

I really like the glow cleanser the smell is beautiful and so natural and gentle on my aging skin I love it so much a little goes a long way I honestly believe you would love these beautiful products from Sabbia 😀❤️

Love this cream for my 50+ aging skin

Love the BB cream as it not only hydrates but evens out my skin tone and brightens the complexion. Gives a lovely natural glow and gorgeous fragrance.

Multi vitamin moisturiser

The multi vitamin moisturiser smells so good and is really light on my face. I love to use a double layer before bed and my skin looks and feels so hydrated in the morning!

Botanical glow cleanser

I love this cleanser! It smells so fresh and leaves my skin feeling amazing. I also think the way it sprays is genius!

Amazing!

I have oily/combination skin and this bb cream is the best I’ve tried! It layers so easily and gives me the perfect no make up makeup look! It has a lovely natural finish and gives me the nicest natural glow. I love that there’s minimal ingredients and cruelty free, will absolutely repurchase!

Love this prosucy

I purchase these to replace the use of disposable cotton pads in my brow studio. I am in love with this product and how much of a difference it has made to the amount of throw away I have at the end of the day. I strongly recommend other brow stylists make the switch as well.

Smells amazing!

This mist is so refreshing and it smells so so good! It makes your skin feel hydrated and it's perfect to spray on during the day and before you begin layering your products!

My skin feels so smooth!

I've been having issues with my skin for a while, with both acne/congestion and sensitivity in form of perioral dertmatitis. I use the Multi-vitamin moisturiser day and night with the occasional nights as a face mask as well. It has made such a difference to my skin! I have less breakouts and my sensitivity is pretty much gone!! I am so happy with this product and it really does repair your skin barrier! Love it

Beautiful cream

Love the natural coverage this cream gives me leaving my skin feeling soft and moisturised. Best BB Cream that I've used.

My favourite part of my self care routine :)

I've recently started using the Gua Sha and the antioxidant repair oil to go with it. I absolutely love it! It's one of the best parts of my weekly skincare routine as I really feel like I'm nourishing my skin with pure goodness. I have very acne prone skin so I tend to use this before I wash my face so there's not too much oil that remains on the skin.

Can't get enough!

When I first bought this I thought it was a bit of a luxury, buy but since I've added it into my skin routine it's become a must have! Living in hot and humid Brisbane this helps me wake up in the morning and feel fresh for the day. I can't get enough of it.

Loving the moisturiser!

I have skin that's very prone to acne and I went through so many treatments and different products growing up, so whenever I try a new product I'm a bit worried it will cause me to breakout. This one has not disappointed! I love the silky smooth feel to it and how it hydrates my skin without blocking pores or making the skin feel really sticky. LOVE IT!

Great course, exactly what I was looking for

Just WOW!!

I was lucky enough to be a test bunny for this course and it is something else! I have learnt so much and feel empowered to launch and grow my business through social media. Thank you Katie for sharing so much knowledge and personal lessons. I can't wait to see what else you create to help others.

Another stunner!

Yes yes yes! This moisturiser is wonderful. Just as other reviews described; miraculously light yet super nourishing. A small pump goes a long way which also makes it seem like it is quite economical. I already use the BB cream and love that. Very impressed to have a duo that makes my skin routine so clean and simple. Well done Sabbia Co!

Super lightweight & hydrating

The perfect everyday moisturiser. Lightweight but also super hydrating.
