Here's what's happening in the Sabbatical Beauty lab right now: seasonal returns, reformulations and top secret experiments.

A 15% acid āSake Bombā splash maskāglycolic + fruit acids balanced with sake and hops extractsāthat can be diluted or used full-strength to reset dull, congested skin without tipping into irritation.
Lab note: Built as a controlled experiment: push exfoliation to 15% total acids, then stabilize it with sake, hops, aloe, panthenol, and arginine so it clears effectively without destabilizing the skin barrier.

A bouncy gel moisturizer built on 92% fermented sea kelp that calms redness and holds hydration in place for clear, even, glass-skin without heaviness.
Lab note: This batch is available via preorder so we can size production accurately alongside other lab runsāonce we set the batch, thatās the quantity weāll make.

A microbiome-supporting pressed serum (serumāmoisturizer hybrid) packed with fermented botanicals and beta glucan to calm inflammation and help reactive skin stabilize.
Lab note: āPressed serumā is a Korean skincare category I use to describe a serumāmoisturizer hybrid: a dense moisturizer so packed with botanical actives that it functions like a serum.

A complete 4-step ritual to repair, hydrate, and protect compromised skinābuilt from the formulas that have anchored Sabbatical Beauty for 10 years.
Lab Note: These are the four formulas Iāve returned to most over the past decadeāunchanged, because theyāve never stopped working.
