Brand Pillars
Meet the SL8™ complex
We’re a clean brand, but our focus is on what goes into our formulas, not the thousands of ingredients we leave out.
All our formula's are built with clean, high-performance actives that support the skin barrier and deliver visible results.
Designed to work in harmony with the skin barrier, SL8™ supports hydration, resilience and visible radiance — forming the foundation of every Strange Luxury formula.
Skincare, engineered for sensitivity, stability and long-term skin health.
The Science Behind The SL8™
-
Found in every product:
SL8™ is an intelligent network of eight synergistic actives, uniting some of Australia’s most antioxidant-rich native botanicals with proven bio-actives including panthenol and purslane. Together, they form the foundation of every Strange Luxury formula.
Engineered to support the skin barrier, enhance hydration and maintain stability, SL8™ delivers calm, resilient, visibly radiant skin.
-
We prioritise clean, functional actives, skin-identical lipids and barrier-supporting ingredients that deliver visible results without compromise.
