Creative Direction

Sage needed to express modern simplicity while honoring its botanical, small-batch roots. Our direction focused on creating a brand that feels pure, grounded, and softly confident, with a handcrafted flair that reflects the natural origins of its ingredients.

  • The primary Sage logotype features a custom, flowing script that evokes softness and care. It is paired with a classic serif for secondary messaging, balancing femininity with structure for a gender-neutral appeal.

    Alternate logos include vertical, stacked, and badge variations, ensuring brand versatility across product lines and platforms.

  • The Sage color palette is fresh, earthy, and modern—intentionally chosen to reflect ingredients and purity:

    • Soft Greens (Herbal, Fresh, Plant-Based)

    • Neutral Tones (Balance, Simplicity)

    • Golden Accent (Warmth, Vitality)

    • Midnight Teal (Depth, Trust)

    Palette HEXs:

    • #93AEBB

    • #455943

    • #C1D2C5

    • #DAD7C7

    • #CC8E22

    • Hand-drawn Sage Leaf Illustration: A custom line illustration to highlight the hero botanical across packaging and marketing.

    • Star Motif: A subtle icon used across brand touchpoints to evoke renewal, glow, and ritualistic care.

  • “Clean Ingredients for Every Body”

    This inclusive, affirming tagline reinforces Sage’s commitment to purity, accessibility, and unisex appeal. It also anchors the brand’s broader mission: skincare made for everyone.
