Rooted in Nature: Refined by Science

Founded by Dr. Philip Kuan and Josh Robinson, Sanba Skincare is the result of more than four years of collaboration, exploration, and intention. What began as a shared vision evolved through extensive travel, research, and firsthand experience across Japan, Vietnam, Egypt, Italy, and South Korea—meeting local producers, learning traditional practices, and understanding the origin of ingredients not just on paper, but in real life.
From sourcing to formulation, Sanba Skincare was built with the belief that skincare should feel personal, considered, and honest. Ingredients were explored where they are grown, refined, and used—seen, touched, smelled, and evaluated for quality and performance long before becoming part of a finished formula. The result is skincare that reflects both clinical insight and a deep respect for global craftsmanship.
Sanba Skincare is grounded in ethical sourcing, naturally derived formulations, sustainable packaging, and cruelty-free practices. Beyond standards and certifications, the brand is guided by a simple philosophy: skincare should be effective, responsible, and refined—without excess or compromise.
The Difference We Make
(01)
Ethically Sourced
At Sanba Skincare, we are committed to ethically sourcing our ingredients from trusted partners who uphold high standards of environmental responsibility and fair labor practices. We prioritize transparency and traceability throughout our supply chain, ensuring that every ingredient is obtained with respect for both the communities involved and the ecosystems they depend on. Ethical sourcing allows us to deliver high-quality skincare while supporting responsible global practices.
(02)
Naturally Formulated
Our products are naturally formulated with carefully selected ingredients chosen for their effectiveness, purity, and compatibility with the skin. Each formulation is designed to work in harmony with the body’s natural processes, combining nature-derived components with thoughtful scientific development. We intentionally avoid unnecessary fillers, harsh chemicals, and overly processed additives to create skincare that is both gentle and results-driven.
(03)
Sustainably Packaged
Sustainability guides our packaging choices at every stage. Sanba Skincare uses responsibly sourced, recyclable, and low-impact materials whenever possible, with a focus on reducing waste and environmental footprint. We balance sustainability with functionality and design, ensuring our packaging protects product integrity while reflecting a refined, modern aesthetic.
(04)
Cruelty-Free
Sanba Skincare is proudly cruelty-free. We do not test our products on animals at any point in development, and we partner exclusively with manufacturers and suppliers who share this ethical commitment. Our cruelty-free approach reflects our belief that effective skincare should never come at the expense of animal welfare.
