OUR FORMULA

The Russ & Rose Essence: From the Wilds to Your Skin

Russ & Rose's story originates in our homeland's quiet valleys and verdant woodlands, where the heartbeat of nature is felt most deeply. It's a narrative born from a simple, yet powerful idea: skincare mirrors the bond between nature and humanity. A bond that's strong yet gentle, resilient yet soft—much like the wild rose that persists against the odds.

Determined to translate this natural harmony into skincare, our founders delved deep into Philippine flora and fauna. Their quest culminated in a range of products, each symbolizing a ritual, a moment, a pause. Our formulations merge nature’s purest, like Akapulko and Ar-arusip, with scientific marvels such as salicylic acid and squalane.

Unveiling Our Prime Formulations

Russ & Rose believe in the art of simplicity in a world of excess. It isn't just the count of ingredients that matters, but the excellence and potency of each one. That's why our Lightweight Hydrating Cream and Gentle Cleansing Foam prioritize locally sourced botanicals and marine extracts to naturally bring out the best in your skin.

Meet Our Power Ingredients

CANDLE BUSH (AKAPULKO): The resilience of Akapulko resonates deeply with the Russ & Rose ethos.

Historically revered for addressing skin ailments, Akapulko embodies our dedication to blending age-old wisdom with contemporary skin needs.

SEA GRAPES (AR-ARUSIP): Ar-arusip is more than a marine wonder; it's a tribute to the Philippines' rich marine heritage. Offering defense against UV radiation, it boasts unparalleled nutritional benefits with its potent phytochemical profile. Incorporating this marine marvel into our products ensures your skin soaks in nature's brilliance daily.
