Gentle, by choice.

For years, beauty asked sensitive skin to choose: the jar you longed to open, or the tube that wouldn't sting. Beautiful products hurt. Safe ones felt like medicine.

Sèvra™ began with a question: what would luxury look like if it started with calm?

Why I started Sèvra

I started Sèvra in 2026 because of someone I love.

A close friend had a severe reaction to a product she put on her face. I watched her come to tears. She didn't want to be seen, she missed work, and for days she struggled with how it made her feel. It wasn't just her skin that was hurting.

I'd seen versions of this before. Friends and family members with sensitive skin, always reading labels, always a little afraid of the next new product. And every winter here in Canada, the cold leaves dry skin raw and tight, and asking for more care than it gets.

When I went looking for something better, I kept finding the same choice: products that felt luxurious but weren't gentle, or gentle products that felt clinical and plain. I couldn't find both in one jar.

So I set out to make that choice unnecessary. Sèvra is three gentle, botanical formulas, chosen with care, with every ingredient listed in full and someone to talk to before and after you buy.

Luxury, I believe, should start with calm.

— Chris, founder of Sèvra

We went looking for less

We read every ingredient list line by line, and kept three formulas, built around calendula, chamomile and cucumber, for skin that reacts to almost everything. Each is made in small batches here in Canada, so what reaches you is fresh.

We keep the collection small on purpose: three products and one ritual. And we stay with you after you buy, with help choosing, guidance on patch testing, and someone to ask when your skin changes with the seasons.

A ritual in three movements

Prélude · Cleansing Lotion

Step one: cleanse. The opening. A creamy lotion of sunflower, jojoba and apricot kernel oils with calendula and sea buckthorn. It lifts away makeup and the day without leaving skin tight.

Adagio · Serum

Step two: calm. The slow, quiet centre of the ritual, and our fragrance-free formula. Aloe, chamomile, green tea and mushroom extracts help hydrate and condition, and it's gentle enough to use after peels or exfoliation, when skin needs calm most.

Pianissimo · Crème

Step three: protect. The softest finish. Mango butter, cucumber and calendula in a gentle crème that helps hydrate and comfort dry, ultra-sensitive skin, leaving it softer and more radiant-looking.

Our sensitive-skin standards

• Every ingredient, in full. The complete ingredient list for each formula is on its product page, not hidden on the back of a box.
• Allergy notes up front. We name the plants and oils sensitive skin should know about, including the daisy family (calendula, chamomile and arnica), nut and seed oils, and essential oils, before you buy.
• Honest claims only. We describe how our products care for your skin. We never claim to treat or cure a skin condition, and we only say "fragrance-free" where it is true.
• Small batches, made in Canada. Our formulas are made in small batches here, so what reaches you is fresh.
• Vegan formulas. All three products are vegan.
• Patch-test guidance with every product. We show you how to try each one safely before it goes on your face.
• A person to ask. Free consultations before and after you buy, and our Skin Comfort Promise if something doesn't suit your skin.

Calm skin is not a trend. It is a lifelong relationship, and we intend to be part of yours.
