I’m Sage, the founder of tende.

I’m an organic chemist and cosmetic scientist by training, but also an artist and nature enthusiast at heart.

I started tende to create products that are both effective and intentional. Where every ingredient has a purpose, and nothing is added just to fill space.

Tende is rooted in the belief that skincare and haircare can be minimal, powerful, and beautiful. Everything is grounded in science and made with plant-based ingredients that care for your body without compromising your health or the planet.

I live and formulate in the Hudson Valley, and Tende is deeply inspired by the natural landscape and community here. Supporting small-batch production and local business isn’t just a value, it’s a responsibility.

Mountain landscape with a turquoise lake and grassy hills, overcast sky.

No fillers. No preservatives. Just pure, purposeful ingredients and a slower, more intentional approach to care.
