Rooted in Nature. Grounded in Care. Made to Transform.
At Sonya Dakar, our standards are more than a checklist—they’re a philosophy. Rooted in nature and refined by decades of hands-on expertise, every formula, every decision, and every act of care reflects our belief that skincare should not only transform your skin, but also respect the planet and uplift the people who share it.
We are a family-run, woman-owned company that believes in transparency, clean innovation, and purpose at every level. Here’s how we raise the standard—and why we’ll never settle for anything less.
Rooted In Clean Formulation
Our products begin where all good things do: with nature. We harness potent botanicals, antioxidant-rich oils, and powerful plant actives to craft skincare that delivers real, visible results—without compromise.
We formulate without toxins, synthetic fragrance, or harsh additives. Our standards go beyond clean—they’re skin-intelligent. Every ingredient we select must serve a purpose: to nourish, calm, restore, or strengthen your skin barrier.
Because we’re rooted in science, too—each product is rigorously tested and refined to deliver results trusted by top estheticians and skincare professionals around the world.
Rooted In Sustainability
Sustainability isn’t a marketing message for us—it’s a long-term commitment to do better. From our labs to your doorstep, we work to minimize our impact at every touchpoint.
Through carbon-neutral shipping alone, we’ve removed 7,220 kg of carbon emissions from the environment—the equivalent of over 29,000 km driven by car or nearly a million smartphones charged. It’s a start, and we’re determined to go further.
We continue to evaluate our footprint, reduce waste, and improve our processes to ensure our products feel good on your skin—and good in your hands.
Rooted In Purposeful Packaging
Sustainability doesn’t stop at what’s inside the bottle. Our packaging is deliberately designed to be as minimal and recyclable as possible.
- We prioritize glass packaging for its recyclability and purity.
- Our cartons are crafted with eco-responsible materials.
- Shipping materials are streamlined to reduce excess and waste.
Because every detail counts when you're rooted in responsibility.
Rooted In Community
Giving back is part of our DNA. As a brand founded on care, our mission extends far beyond skincare.
When California wildfires displaced local families, we donated skincare kits to those who lost everything. In partnership with OBKLA, we sponsored community meal prep for first responders and individuals directly affected by the fires. And through our ongoing relationship with the Friendship Foundation, we support programs that empower adults with developmental disabilities to live full, independent lives. We’re also honored to support the Downtown Women’s Center, which offers safe housing, critical services, and community for women in need.
We don’t just serve a community—we are part of it. And we’re proud to show up, roll up our sleeves, and give back however we can.
ROOTED IN INTEGRITY
As a family-owned, woman-led company, we hold ourselves to a different kind of standard. Every decision we make reflects our values: authenticity, accountability, and compassion. We don’t answer to shareholders—we answer to our customers, our planet, and our legacy.
It’s how we turn our principles into practice.
Raising the Standard—From the Ground Up
When you choose Sonya Dakar, you’re choosing more than skincare. You’re choosing clean, effective, consciously made formulas that deliver results—while doing right by the world around you.
We make progress through mindful innovation, not noise.
Always rooted in nature and guided by intention.
