At Sage HeadSpa, every detail of your treatment is intentional — from the tools we use, to the touch of our hands, to the ingredients we place on your scalp and skin. We believe true luxury should never come at the expense of your health. That’s why we exclusively use paraben-free, sulfate-free, and clean-formula products from trusted professional brands like Davines and Société Clinical Skincare.

In this post, we’ll explain why avoiding parabens and sulfates is so important, and highlight what else our products are free of so you can feel good about every moment of your Sage experience.

⸻

❌ What Are Parabens?

Parabens are synthetic preservatives commonly added to extend shelf life. While effective, research has linked them to potential hormone disruption because parabens can mimic estrogen in the body. They’ve also been known to cause skin irritation or sensitivity in some people.

👉 At Sage, we avoid parabens to keep your scalp and skin care as pure and safe as possible.

⸻

❌ What Are Sulfates?

Sulfates are harsh detergents that create that foamy lather in many shampoos and cleansers. While they cut through oil, they can also: • Strip away your scalp’s natural oils • Disrupt the skin barrier, leading to dryness or irritation • Exacerbate dandruff, flaking, or sensitivity

👉 We opt for gentle, sulfate-free cleansers that preserve your scalp’s balance, protect your hair follicles, and maintain long-term scalp wellness.

✅ What Else We’re Free Of (Société Clinical Standards)

Société Clinical Skincare takes clean beauty even further by being free of: • Propylene Glycol • Artificial colors & dyes • Artificial fragrance • Hormones • Phthalates • Formaldehyde • Fillers • Gluten • GMO ingredients

💚 Plus, they are always cruelty-free — never tested on animals.
