S.W. Basics manufactures "no-frills skincare." Not only do they cut out synthetic chemicals, they also leave out trendy, exotic botanicals and luxury fillers. Instead, they use the fewest possible ingredients for effective skincare. All products are made simpler for a reason: fewer ingredients means higher potency and less chance for irritation, which is why they're even great for sensitive skin.
