Our Formula

Russ & Rose began with a quiet conviction: that skincare should reflect the balance found in nature—resilient yet gentle, grounded yet refined. Inspired by the wild rose that flourishes even in challenging conditions, we craft formulations that embody this quiet strength.

Drawing from the rich landscape of the Philippines, our skincare blends time-honored botanicals and marine elements with thoughtful scientific innovation. Each product is designed not only to care for the skin, but to offer a moment—a pause—in the rhythm of daily life.

Unveiling Our Prime Formulations

At Russ & Rose, we believe in the art of simplicity.
In a world of overcomplication, we focus on what’s essential. It is not the number of ingredients, but the excellence and integrity of each one that defines our formulas.

Our Lightweight Hydrating Cream and Gentle Cleansing Foam highlight Philippine botanicals and marine extracts, chosen for their proven ability to support, nourish, and balance the skin—gently and effectively.
