The idea of SANN has been on my mind for a very long time. I have always loved beauty, however, over the years I found myself completely overwhelmed by the myriad of products and the endless stream of beauty “must-haves” with unpronounceable ingredients that are deemed necessary in order to look ‘beautiful’.
I wanted to create a brand for modern consumers like myself that would be well edited, multifunctional, effective and use the safest, cleanest, most nourishing ingredients I could find.
I also wanted to redefine our perception of beauty by focusing on the values of what makes us truly beautiful. I was inspired by women with a point of view, a confidence, a femininity, an intellect and inner strength. SANN is my celebration of them.
SANN, which means true, real and genuine in Swedish, is a different kind of beauty brand. I think of it as the ultimate antidote to the oversaturated world of beauty. Instead of longwinded routines, innumerable shades of lipstick, constant new drops and an unhealthy obsession with anti-ageing (a term, which I think, shouldn’t even exist), SANN presents a tight, curated edit of modern, multi-functional make-up essentials to complement your inner beauty.
But there's so much more to beauty than how we look. It’s also how we act and uplifting and supporting women and girls around the globe is very much at the core of the brand’s DNA. That’s why for every product sold, we fund a Day of School programme in partnership with CAMFED, which allows marginalized girls in sub-Saharan Africa to go to school, learn, thrive, and lead change in their communities. SANN is a beauty brand that cares, and this permanent charity initiative is very close to my heart.
I welcome you to SANN, and hope that you like our products and join our community!
With much love,
Yuliya Tertilova-Kristell
