Hello, I’m Sebastine Pepler, the founder of Sōji Skincare. With over 20 years of experience as an internationally acclaimed makeup artist, I’ve had the privilege of working with major luxury brands and celebrities across the globe, with my work featured in Elle, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, and more.
The idea for Sōji Skincare was born during a planned sabbatical following the birth of my daughter. What began as a hands-on approach to parenting soon evolved into a creative journey. My passion for botanicals, cuisine, and beauty led me to explore natural cosmetics, driven by a desire to create sustainable, chemical-free products. As I became increasingly aware of the environmental impact of conventional beauty products, I knew there had to be a better way.
Sōji Skincare emerged from this vision. Named after the Japanese word for "clean," Sōji embodies a commitment to simplicity and minimalism. Each product is meticulously handcrafted in small batches, reflecting the essence of slow beauty. Originally formulated for the models I work with on set, Sōji products meet the rigorous demands of the fashion industry, delivering both instant and long-lasting results. Models, celebrities, and beauty experts alike agree that Sōji is the go-to choice for looking your best, whether on set or in everyday life.
Our dedication to quality and sustainability has been recognised with numerous accolades, including a gold award for best soap and a silver award for best body butter at the 2022 Woman & Home Beauty Awards, as well as first place for Moisturising Face & Body Oil in 2023. Sōji was also named the top Green Beauty Brand at the 2023 Glamour Beauty Awards. These honours affirm Sōji as a beloved brand that stands out in the world of green beauty.
We are proud to offer products that are palm oil and paraben-free, cruelty-free, and made with the finest natural ingredients. Each product not only enhances your beauty but also aligns with a deep respect for the planet. Thank you for joining me on this journey. I am thrilled to share Sōji Skincare with you and invite you to experience the luxury of mindful beauty.
