At Sallye Ander, we have always been dedicated to creating products that are as pure, effective, and thoughtfully crafted as the very first bar of soap Gary Austin made over 40 years ago, here in New York State. Our commitment to the Sallye Ander Standards—using only the finest natural ingredients, maintaining transparency, and ensuring our products are safe for all—has never wavered. Today, we want to share with you why we’ve made the difficult decision to adjust our pricing.

Honoring Quality in a Changing World

The integrity of our products has always been our top priority. From sourcing sustainably grown ingredients to crafting each batch by hand, every step of our process reflects a commitment to quality. However, the costs of raw materials and production here in New York State have steadily risen, especially for the natural, high-grade ingredients that meet our rigorous standards. Rather than compromise on quality by cutting corners or using less effective alternatives, we’ve chosen to uphold the values that make Sallye Ander products exceptional.

Supporting Ethical and Sustainable Practices

Many of the ingredients we use, such as olive oil, beeswax, and therapeutic botanicals, are sustainably sourced from trusted partners who share our vision for ethical production. As the demand for these responsibly harvested materials grows, so does their cost. We believe in supporting these practices because they align with our mission to honor the natural world and its resources. Your support helps us invest in a more sustainable future.

Investing in Small-Batch Craftsmanship

Every Sallye Ander product is handmade in New York State, ensuring attention to detail and consistent quality. This artisanal approach requires time, care, and skilled hands. By staying true to this process, we’re able to deliver products that reflect the same dedication and craftsmanship as our very first creations—a tradition we’re committed to preserving.

Maintaining Fair Wages and Local Production

As a family-run business, we’re deeply invested in our team and community. Ensuring fair wages here in New York State for our staff and keeping production local is integral to who we are. These practices come with costs, but they’re essential to creating a positive impact and staying true to our roots.

Gratitude for Your Support

We know that price increases can be challenging, and we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to you, our loyal customers, for your continued trust and support. By choosing SallyeAnder, you’re not only investing in products that care for your skin but also in a brand that cares for the environment, its community, and the legacy of thoughtful craftsmanship.

Moving Forward Together

Our updated pricing reflects the true value of the care, quality, and integrity that go into every Sallye Ander product. While changes are never easy, they are sometimes necessary to ensure we can continue to meet the high standards we’ve set for ourselves and that you’ve come to expect.

Thank you for being part of the Sallye Ander family. Your support allows us to stay true to our mission and keep creating products you can trust, love, and feel good about. Together, we can continue this journey toward thoughtful, natural skincare that makes a difference.
