About Sandstone Scandinavia
Nature, skin-friendliness, and purity – that's what Sandstone stands for.
Sandstone was created from a father's vision of skin-friendly makeup for his daughters. Our makeup is for you who won't compromise on either ingredients or quality. Every ingredient is carefully selected for its quality and gentleness – free from essential oils, animal ingredients, and fragrance. It's makeup for you who wants to take good care of your skin.
Sandstone works closely with Allergy Certified to ensure all products are skin-friendly. None of Sandstone's products contain essential oils, and everything is also 100% free of perfume and animal ingredients. Allergy Certified is your guarantee that our products do not contain any ingredients that could potentially cause allergies.
Slow Beauty is not just about time. It is about what we spend our time on.
Behind a finished Sandstone product lies a long series of choices that few will ever see. We work on the formulation, the colors, and the feel on the skin, but also on everything surrounding the product that is crucial for quality. Ingredients are evaluated, packaging is tested, and the products undergo, among other things, tests for stability and durability.
We keep adjusting, testing, and refining until we believe the product is ready. Not because the process needs to be difficult, but because that is how we can stand behind what we send out into the world.
Good makeup begins with consideration.
Quote from the Founder
"Sandstone was created out of a desire – as a father of three girls – to develop skin-friendly makeup for my daughters.
After I myself developed a perfume allergy, it became clear to me how important clean ingredients, honesty, and thoughtfulness are.
These are now core values at Sandstone.”
Jesper K. Hansen
Sandstone was founded in Odense in 2015 based on a father's wish for clean makeup for his daughters, where the skin is not exposed daily to unnecessary ingredients. As a father and perfume allergy sufferer, it became clear to him that his family – like many others – needed gentle, perfume-free, high-quality alternatives. Today, two of his daughters, Caroline and Sofie, are an active part of Sandstone and help shape the brand's direction. Together, they continue to work with the same fundamental idea: to create makeup that feels comfortable to wear, looks good, and takes care of the skin.
At Sandstone, everything starts with the skin. We believe in products that both look good and do you good. Our makeup combines color and care, giving your skin what it needs. We quickly learned that natural doesn't always mean gentle, and synthetic doesn't always mean harmful. What really counts is that the ingredients are carefully selected, effective, and safe. This way, we can create makeup that nourishes the skin, looks beautiful, and feels comfortable – every single day.

Slow Beauty is ultimately our way of viewing beauty. We do not believe that more is always better. We do not believe that a good product becomes less relevant just because a new season begins. And we do not believe that we constantly have to tell you that you are missing something new.
We believe in creating fewer, well-thought-out products that have a reason to exist. In colors you will want to return to. In quality, consideration, and a simplicity that reflects our Scandinavian roots. We will, of course, continue to evolve. New ideas will arise, and new products will find their way to Sandstone. But they must have something to contribute. And they must have the time it takes.Because we would rather create something worth waiting for than something that is just new.
Slow Beauty. The Sandstone way.
