Going Natural: The Benefits of Sukin Skincare Products
Without a doubt, it’s better to nourish your body with healthy and natural food instead of processed products and the same can be said for your skin. Your skin deserves to be treated with gentle products that are made of natural ingredients instead of all kinds of harsh, synthetic products. What is absorbed by your skin, eventually ends up in your bloodstream, and synthetic products containing parabens and a number of other questionable ingredients that can lead to some serious health problems.

Considering this, more and more people turn to trusted natural skincare brands. While international brands are just fine, there are many leading natural skincare brands based right here in Australia. As someone who has experimented with plenty of natural skincare products made locally, I often get the question: Is Sukin a good brand? To answer this, let’s take a look at some of the benefits that set this brand apart from the rest.
All of the Good – None of the Bad
When it comes to moisturizing ingredients, this brand doesn’t include petrolatum, mineral oils or other ingredients from non-renewable resources. Instead, their product range relies on natural plant oils such as sesame, avocado, Jojoba, rosehip, shea and cocoa butter to moisturize the skin. In addition, all of there products are free of sulphates which are irritating for the skin and eyes.
On the products’ ingredient list, there are also no artificial colours. The colours many of their masks and lotions come in are all derived from natural ingredients such as clay, coffee and charcoal. What’s more, their line of cleansers doesn’t include any harsh and drying detergents but instead uses Decyl Glucoside or other plant-derived cleansers. Other bad ingredients that you won’t find in this brand’s product range include silicones, parabens, tricolsan, phthalates and MEA/DEA/TEA.
Everything Smells Better

This brand uses active natural ingredients. As a result, everything is naturally-scented and smells genuinely nice. All the essential oils are derived from the real plants, without using any imitation fragrances. After using naturally-scented products for some time, you will notice the difference between synthetic fragrances and the real stuff, and you will never want to switch back again. The fact that these products aren’t artificially scented means that they are also more gentle and less drying on the skin.
All Products Are Cruelty-Free

Today, it’s incredibly hard to find good skincare products that are cruelty-free and vegan at the same time. However, by shopping from this brand, you’ll get some peace of mind that you’re not contributing to the suffering of animals. Besides not testing on animals, the company’s products are also free from any animal ingredients. Instead of using animal derivatives such as collagen, lanolin and beeswax, their products include plant-derived carnauba and candelilla wax.
They Don’t Use Micro Beads
With the increased focus on climate change and sustainability in the media, I’m sure you’re already familiar with the term “micro-beads”. Micro-beads are tiny particles found in many skincare products such as face cleansers and body scrubs. While they may help exfoliate your skin, they are essentially tiny pieces of plastic which aren’t biodegradable. And the fact that they go down the drain as we wash ourselves, means that micro-beads end up in the oceans where they cause harm to marine life.

But all exfoliating products made by this natural brand include ingredients that are environmentally friendly while also being just as effective as micro-beads. For instance, their Super Greens Detoxifying Facial Scrub contains micro jojoba beads and ground bamboo to help you get rid of dead skin cells in a clean, gentle way. In addition to exfoliating your skin, these ingredients also nourish it, leaving it smooth and radiant in the process.
Most of the Ingredients Come from Australia
Step away, K-beauty, A-beauty is about to steal your spotlight. There’s just so much to love about the Australian continent, including the fact that some of the best skin-loving ingredients grow right here in our backyards – Kakadu plum, eucalyptus, Tasmanian pepper, pineapple, lemon myrtle, avocado, and similar plants. And Sukin makes good use of all of them! The company’s Rosehip range is rich in Kakadu plum extract which is one of the best sources of vitamin C and antioxidants. As a result, it helps to naturally brighten and even out the skin tone.

In their Blemish Control range, the brand utilities the potent eucalyptus oil in order to soothe inflammation and get rid of acne-causing bacteria, while also hydrating the skin. So, if you’re wondering whether Sukin is good for sensitive skin prone to acne, this is your answer. As it is rich in natural eucalyptus oil, Blemish Control range manages to treat and prevent acne breakouts without drying out and irritating sensitive skin.
They Are More Affordable Than Other Brands
Compared to many Australian skincare brands, this company produces some of the most affordable natural products. So, if you’re not feeling quite confident in the effects of natural skincare, trying out products from this brand is a good way to test the waters without spending too much. In addition, by replacing harsh, synthetic skincare products with natural formulations, you can improve the state of your skin. And as a result, you won’t need to rely on as many products, meaning your beauty routine will be simplified and as such – less costly.
