From concept to implementation, all of our products are created by Sweet & True staff at our Concord, CA facilities. Creating incredible skincare is our passion, and we love every part of the process! That is why none of our formulas or production processes are outsourced.

Our proprietary sugaring paste is manufactured in our Concord lab under the strict quality control and FDA standards for manufacturing practices. This ensures that each and every batch lives up to our professional standards and qualifications.

No, you do not need to be certified to sugar. Sugaring is an ancient form of hair removal that has been passed down through many generations informally. However, the techniques used in professional spa environments have been fine tuned and modernized for professionals to be able to provide services on par with waxing that are quick, safe and efficient. It's almost impossible to grow a successful sugaring practice without getting basic and advanced training. 

Absolutely! Our products are perfect for waxing professionals. They are formulated to nourish the skin before and after sugaring, waxing, and other epilation methods. Many of our customers who provide waxing services appreciate ourpre- and post-treatment products,strip sugar paste, andvajacial linefor both the treatment room and at-home care. We also offer strip sugar paste and starter kits specifically designed for waxing professionals.

We are total plant geeks. We believe that creating 100% natural, organic skincare is equal parts science, intuition and creativity. Our layered formulating and extraction technique makes the botanical actives even more effective, for the best possible results. Keeping our formulas simple and plant based allows a higher concentration of active botanical ingredients to work with skin, rather than against it. 
We partner with leading chemists, herbalists and aromatherapists to use ethically­sourced botanicals and gentle active ingredients. The result is gentle, but powerful skincare containing clean ingredients that are scientifically­ proven to balance the skin.

The Sweet & True Collection is formulated without parabens, sodium laurel sulfates, denatured alcohol, synthetic fragrances, endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, or toxic chemicals of any kind. We use organic plants, cold pressed oils, distillates and food grade preservation systems whenever possible. Each botanical ingredient is selected with intention and purpose to best serve your clients’ skin and overall health.

100%. We do not test on animals. We firmly believe in the safety of our formulas and thoroughly test our products on ourselves before conducting rigorous clinical testing.

Body Sugaring is an all natural, much less abrasive form of hair removal containing only sugar, lemon and water. The treatment is performed using a ball of this paste that looks like thick honey. The paste is applied by hand and molded into the hair follicle. With a quick flick of the wrist, the paste & hair are removed in the same direction of growth making it less irritating, smoother and longer lasting than traditional waxing with much less discomfort. Clients will still feel a slight sting from the root of the hair being removed from the tiny pore but there will not be that lasting burning sensation experienced when using a resins based wax that grabs live skin. 

The earliest references to hair removal came from the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Greece. Hair on the body was considered to be unclean by the upper class. Possibly through a fortuitous accident, the method of using Sugar for hair removal treatments was developed.
