Saje Natural Wellness to open first Orange County store at Fashion Island

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Saje Natural Wellness, the Canadian beauty trailblazer of holistic provisions, is set to open its airy, modern boutique at Fashion Island on May 5.

Saje features over 500 fragrance-free home and body products crafted from pure essential oils, targeting a variety of everyday health challenges from sleep to stress. Best known are its ultrasonic diffusers and kindred body care, enlisting plant-derived natural perfumes as well its hallmark oils.

With 45 stores across Canada, Saje expands its US reach with the opening of the Fashion Island location, in addition to six California retail stores and plans for several more across the US this year.

“Saje has been living and breathing wellness long before it was a buzz word,” said Easther Liu, chief marketing officer of Irvine Company Retail Properties. “It’s brand ethos speaks to our customers who subscribe to the au naturel lifestyle.”

Since 1992, Saje has offered personal education on aromatherapy and its multi-sensory properties as part of its boutique experience. Its message promotes well-being by what’s not in their line—parabens, petrochemicals, synthetic colors, fragrances or additives. Most of Saje’s ingredients are vegan, not tested on animals and sourced from sustainable, organic farms wherever possible.

“It has been a dream of ours to bring Saje to beautiful Southern California since we founded the company nearly 25 years ago,” said Kate Ross LeBlanc, founder and CEO of Saje Natural Wellness. “We look forward to guiding our new customers on their wellness journeys in a forward-thinking community like Newport Beach.”

Saje will be across from Macy’s at 1089 Newport Center Drive.
