REN

A pioneer in natural skincare since 2000. REN was founded with a focus on "clean" products, which can be an overused word in skincare that often doesn't mean much, but in their case has some real weight behind it: they've helped pave the way for naturally-minded skincare with vegan-friendly offerings that strictly exclude any of the ingredients commonly found in most skincare products that have the potential to cause irritation. They've also got a comprehensive set of principles (like inclusively testing for all skin types & tones, 100% cruelty-free production, sustainable sourcing, and more) to guide every product.

Natural

Product formulations developed with natural ingredients.

Why we're big fans

"Natural" isn't always better when it comes to skincare and we're always on high alert for marketing spin when analyzing brands labeled as "natural." Thankfully, REN passes the test with flying colors. They're a pioneer in the field of using only natural ingredients and have an appropriate amount of scientific research to back up the efficacy of everything they use. Their anti-redness serum is one of the best on the market, and we're constantly re-upping on their AHA toner because it flies off the shelves.
