Our Commitment to Clean Formulation

No Nasties!
We've left out all the unnecessary fillers, additives, preservatives! So you get all the good and none of the bad! Microcrystalline cellulose (a plant binder) and Vegesil (silica from rice) are used in the smallest amounts needed to encapsulate our ingredients. We chose these specifically to avoid the titanium dioxide, synthetic silicon dioxides, and gums commonly found in other supplements.

Our Formulation
Our formulation is different to anything else you will find on the market. We have incorporated the best of natural tanning and UV defence supplements at the highest recommended daily dose. Heres everything you need to know about whats in our Suncare Capsules.
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring red-orange carotenoid pigment found in the microalgae, Haematococcus pluvialis. It is known for its powerful antioxidant properties.
When your skin is exposed to sunlight, UV rays generate free radicals that can contribute to oxidative stress, redness, and premature skin aging. Astaxanthin helps neutralize these free radicals, supporting the skin's natural defences against sun-induced damage.
By helping protect skin cells from oxidative stress, astaxanthin may support healthier-looking skin during sun exposure and help maintain an even, longer-lasting tan.
Derived from a tropical fern with decades of scientific research behind it, Polypodium leucotomos helps support the skin from within. Its powerful antioxidant activity helps defend against UV-induced oxidative stress, supporting healthy-looking skin and overall skin resilience during sun exposure.
As part of your suncare routine, Polypodium leucotomos provides an additional layer of inside-out skin support for those who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle.
Nutroxsun® combines concentrated rosemary and grapefruit polyphenols to help support the skin's natural response to sun exposure. By helping reduce oxidative stress and supporting the structural proteins that keep skin firm and healthy, Nutroxsun® provides comprehensive inside-out skin support for active lifestyles and sunny environments. By supporting skin resilience and reducing visible signs of sun-related stress, it helps create the ideal conditions for a healthy-looking, long-lasting tan.
When will I notice a difference?
Day 1
By tomorrow, you're already a step ahead. One day of Sandy and your body has started laying down its own gentle layer of summer support, quietly at work from the very first dose.
1 - 3 Months
Now the magic is settling in. Your body has built up its reserves, so by the time you're stretched out on the sand or saying yes to one more swim, you're already glowing from the inside.
Long-Term Use
Months in, the inside-out work shows. Firmer skin, a more even tone, a summer self that lingers long after the season. You won't need to point it out. Everyone else already has.

Any Questions?
What's NOT in it?
None of the usual suspects. No silicon dioxide or titanium dioxide fillers (commonly found in gummies), no artificial preservatives, colours or synthetic bits. We kept it a purely herbal formula with no added vitamins or minerals on purpose, so it's clean and plays nice with everything else you take.
Can I take it with my other supplements?
Yep, easily. Because there are no added vitamins or minerals, you're not going to double up on anything you're already getting elsewhere. Sandy just slots into your routine.
Where's it made?
In New Zealand, in a certified facility with strict quality controls from start to finish, including testing to make sure it's free from contaminants. We take the clean thing seriously.
Why's the capsule purple?
Cute, right? It's naturally coloured with purple carrot pigment. Astaxanthin's natural red pigment makes a clear capsule tricky, so purple carrot lets us keep it all plant-based and clean, no synthetic dyes needed.
Is it gentle on the tummy?
For most people, totally. Take it with or without food, and if your stomach's on the sensitive side, have it with a meal. The capsules are odourless and tasteless too, so they go down easy with a glass of water.
Does Sandy replace sunscreen?
No way. Sandy would never try to steal sunscreen's job. She's the one who shows up alongside your SPF, ready to join the party and add a little extra something to the routine. So keep your SPF in the mix and use it how you normally would, and let Sandy add the magic.
Can I take Sandy while pregnant?
As much as Sandy loves you, this one's not for the bump era. Hold tight, she'll be waiting when you're ready.
Is Sandy vegan?
Yes, through and through. Sandy is completely vegan and never tested on animals. Even her astaxanthin comes from algae, so there's nothing on your conscience and plenty to love.
Do you ship overseas?
Yes! Sandy ships to New Zealand, Australia, the US, the UK, and Canada. If you're somewhere else in the world, hang tight - we're working on it!
How long will it take to get my order?
Great question! Estimated delivery times are roughly 2 to 5 business days within New Zealand and Australia, and 7 to 14 business days for the US, UK, and Canada. We always do our best to get Sandy to you as fast as possible!
