I've been passionate about toxin-free beauty products for more than a decade. When I founded Nourished Life, my mission was to check every label, so you don't have to and I helped to normalise everyday products that were natural, not tested on animals and kind to the environment. We are all now so much more aware of what we're putting in and on our bodies.
When I started Sans Drinks I wanted to disrupt the liquor industry and introduce people to a new way to enjoy wine, beer and spirits (without alcohol). In addition to being non-alcoholic, many are also low calorie, low sugar and also have beauty benefits too. It's such an incredible win/win!
All non-alcoholic drinks are going to be better for your skin because, unlike alcoholic drinks, they will not leave you dehydrated. But in addition to this, some products have extra beauty goodies that you need to know about.
Here are my top picks.
Wildlife Botanicals: Sparkling Blush
The benefits: Wild Life botanicals is like a beauty elixir in a champagne bottle. in every glass of Wild Life Botanicals you can find hair and skin-loving Biotin and calming Lemon Balm.
The taste: The blush sparkling evokes rosehip tea and strawberries along with Cornish orchard fruits.
What customers are saying: "Absolutely stunning! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed this Champagne, it has been the best for us so far! I would definitely recommend it!"
Worth noting: Also available in nude.
Thomson & Scott Noughty
The benefits: Noughty is low in sugar and certified organic, both great benefits to find in any bottle!
The taste: This brut style sparkling wine is an elegant pale colour with a crisp and ripe apple scent accompanied by a very dry profile.

Sans Bar Notting Hill Stroll (Gin Alternative)

UpFlow Non-Alcoholic Hypotonic Classic Pale Ale
