Senses and Beyond was born from our belief in the unity and balance of all things — respecting nature while embracing urban living, making intentional choices without sacrificing indulgence, and celebrating splendour while being grounded in simplicity.
We created an experience where two worlds meet, offering moments of luxury that are equally moments of nourishment.
Sara Llopis Noble, Founder and Formulator
Originally from Buenos Aires and living in London since 2019, Sara’s education and training include Aromatherapy, Herbal Medicine, Natural Skincare Formulation and Phytomedicine for Skin.
Since 2020, Sara has been working on the Senses and Beyond debut collection refining, iterating and testing the perfect combination of 100% natural, waterless ingredients and organic botanicals. Inspired by humans' long standing relationship with earth, all the way to when plants were the main source for food, shelter, medicine and even cosmetics, and when those precious ingredients were held in clay harvested from the soil - she envisioned a way we could reestablish that connection for an urban, modern society with honesty, integrity and quality in mind.
Sara's love for the performing arts and independent publishing has influenced her current practices and approach to weaving webs and collaborating with other creatives, artists, and well-being practitioners. This ultimately led to the collaboration with ceramics artist Tracy who designed the Senses and Beyond vessels.
“I believe that we can and should do better. As humans, as consumers and as creators. And I want this business to be the living embodiment of new heart-led possibilities."
