Customer Notes
What gentler care can feel like.
Reflections from those drawn to gentleness, balance, and ease.
“
I’ve always dealt with cleansers leaving my skin feeling stripped and fragile. The Gentle Cleansing Foam actually leaves it feeling calm and intact.
“
Finding a moisturizer for Manila heat that supports the skin barrier without feeling heavy used to be impossible. This sinks in instantly.
“
I was exhausted by 10-step routines. Switching to just the Ritual Duo finally gave my barrier a chance to rest and recover.
Made for tropical skin
Made for the climate skin actually lives in.

Non-stripping clarity.
A daily cleanse that removes buildup without leaving skin feeling fragile.
Hydration without weight.
A moisturizer designed to soften and comfort without a heavy finish.
A routine that stays possible.
Two steps, made to be repeated.

The founders’ note

Founded with care, guided by restraint.

Philippine botanicals and marine actives, interpreted with restraint.

Care, beyond the skin
Project Pateg
What we value, we care for.
Pateg is an Ilocano word for what is valued, regarded, and held close. Through Project Pateg, Russ & Rose extends its philosophy of care beyond the skin, beginning with small, intentional efforts toward clean water access and community-centered support.
Discover Project PategQuiet care. Real purpose. No performance. A small beginning held with humility, attention, and the belief that care should reach beyond the ritual itself.
