We get this question a lot, and honestly, we get why. There's so much noise in the skincare world, and sometimes, it's hard to tell what's marketing hype and what actually delivers results.

So, let's talk about it:

Does natural skincare really work?

Short answer? Yes.

Long answer? It depends on the ingredients, your consistency, and your skin goals.

And that's key: What are your skin goals?

If you're chasing a dramatic reversal - like turning 40 and hoping to look 30 again - Certified Organic skincare might not be enough on its own.

But if your goal is to look vibrant, well-rested, and have healthy, balanced skin, then yes, natural, Certified Organic skincare can absolutely help you get there.

What Do We Mean by "Natural," Anyway?

Let's be honest, natural is everywhere these days. But at Sanctum Organics, we go beyond the label.

Our products are Certified Organic by ACO COSMOS, Australia's most trusted organic certification body. That means what you're putting on your skin isn't just inspired by nature, it meets some of the strictest global standards for sourcing, manufacturing, and sustainability.

What ACO COSMOS Certification Means:

• 70–95% Certified Organic ingredients (depending on the product – no product in our range is under 70%)
• No synthetic chemicals, fragrances, or preservatives – 100% toxin-free
• Transparent sourcing and eco-friendly packaging – recycled and recyclable
• Cruelty Free, non-GMO, and 100% no greenwashing

So when we say natural, we mean genuinely organic, independently verified, and made with your skin (and the planet) in mind.

So… What Actually Makes It Work?

Natural skincare works because it's packed with bioavailable ingredients, meaning your skin can actually recognise and use them. Unlike some synthetic ingredients that can be too harsh or just sit on top of the skin, these natural actives work with your skin, not against it.

Some of our favourites:

• Certified Organic Aloe Vera – Soothes, hydrates, and supports skin repair. It's our hero ingredient for a reason. We often use it as the base for our hydration formulas.
• Macadamia Seed Oil – Locally sourced and rich in essential fatty acids to deeply nourish and restore the skin barrier.
• Squalane (from olives) – A vegan, cruelty-free, it mimics your skin's natural oils.
• Eyebright Extract – A calming botanical that helps reduce puffiness and refresh tired eyes.
• Hyaluronic Acid – Locks in moisture to keep skin plump, dewy, and smooth.
• Vitamins A, C & E – A dream team of antioxidants to brighten, protect, and improve tone and texture.

These ingredients don't just sound nice; they're backed by research and real results.

Pairing With Professional Treatments? Smart Move.

If you're combining your natural skincare routine with more intensive treatments like organic peels, LED, skin needling or acupuncture, our range complements them beautifully.

Think of Sanctum Organics as your everyday support crew: Certified Organic, ultra-gentle, and packed with nourishing bioactives. They're ideal for keeping your skin calm, strong, and balanced - especially when recovering or needing extra care.

But Isn't Certified Organic Skincare More Expensive?

Not with us. That's one of the biggest myths we love busting.

At Sanctum Organics, we've made it our mission to keep prices fair and accessible without ever compromising on quality.

Many luxury brands charge a premium for the exact same ingredients we use (sometimes three times the price). Why? Fancy packaging, colossal marketing budgets, and because… well, they can.

We keep it simple, effective, and affordable. So your routine stays consistent, and your skin reaps the benefits.

The Real Secret? Give It 30 Days.

Your skin naturally renews itself every 28–30 days, so if you're trying something new, it deserves that time to show results.

We recommend starting with one of our Skin Goal Sets, which we curated to make it easy for you to build a consistent, targeted routine.

And if it's not for you? That's okay, too. Our Love It or Leave It Guarantee means you can return it within 30 days for a full refund. No stress. No questions.

So… Does Natural Skincare Really Work?

• When it's made with high-quality ingredients? Absolutely.
• When it's used consistently? You'll see it.
• When it's from Sanctum Organics? We think you'll love how it feels and how your skin responds.
