Hi there! Alli here, Stratia's founder and formulator. If the internet is to be believed (and as far as I know, no one has ever lied on the internet), 2025 was a pretty crappy year for everyone. So let’s close it out on a high note.
At the end of a year of turmoil, I’m personally feeling pretty fight-or-flight-y. That’s why I’m extra glad we’re doing our once-a-year Shop Slow sale, to give your nervous system a little reprieve. That means 25% off every single product (with code SHOPSLOW25), plus the benefit of time to shop consciously.
At Stratia, we believe skincare should feel thoughtful and unrushed. I personally will only launch a product when I cannot find a way to improve it, which often takes years. So when it comes to the biggest shopping weekend of the year, a weekend built on urgency and pressure, we choose to slow things down instead.
Our sale runs through December 1 and we don’t expect to run out of stock of anything, so take your time to research and build a thoughtful cart before checking out. Need some help deciding? Take the quiz I wrote on our website; search Stratia on Instagram and Tiktok for unbiased reviews; or just reply to this email and we’d love to help you pick some products!
Sidenote: this is our tenth Black Friday sale, which I cannot wrap my mind around. It feels like yesterday I was up til 2am making bottles of Lipid Gold and Rewind in my kitchen-turned-chem-lab on the side of my full-time job. I am so incredibly grateful to all of you for making this decade-long dream a reality.
Thank you thank you, and a happy Shop Slow sale to us all!
Alli
