Founded by celebrity facialist Iván Pol, The Beauty Sandwich® creates skincare products and non-invasive facial treatments built around his signature sculpting method. After more than 15 years treating high-profile clients, Pol brought the treatment’s proprietary “sauces” into a home-use collection in 2022, with formulas hand-blended in small batches by holistic skincare specialist Annee de Mamiel. The brand’s products are positioned as an alternative to conventional serums, using natural and organic ingredients to support a lifted, firm-looking complexion.

Its skincare ritual pairs hemp with ingredients such as Dead Sea mud and botanical oils in a wellness-focused approach to daily skin care.
