Russ & Rose began with a quiet conviction: that skincare should reflect the balance found in nature, resilient yet gentle, grounded yet refined.
“Care that keeps its pace.”Our Formula
In a world of overcomplication, we focus on what is essential. It is not the number of ingredients, but the excellence and integrity of each one that defines our formulas. We approach formulation with restraint, because what is gentle can still be deeply effective, and what is refined can still be lasting.
Philosophy
We formulate for balance, not urgency. For skin that is supported, not overwhelmed.
Prime Formulations
Simplicity, made deliberate.
Our core formulations reflect this approach: thoughtful, steady, and shaped by care that respects the skin’s rhythm rather than disrupting it. Each one is designed to feel elegant in texture and quietly purposeful in use.
Hydration & comfort
Lightweight Hydrating Cream
A steady layer of moisture designed to feel breathable, refined, and quietly supportive. It offers comfort without heaviness and hydration without excess.
Cleanse & balance
Gentle Cleansing Foam
A soft cleanse that respects the skin’s rhythm, leaving it fresh, calm, and never stripped. It is cleansing shaped by softness rather than force.
“It is not the number of ingredients, but the excellence and integrity of each one that defines our formulas.”Russ & Rose
Power Ingredients
From our islands, with purpose.
We draw from botanicals and marine elements with deep cultural roots, then refine them through modern formulation. Not for trend, but for function.
A symbol of gentle strength

Widely used in traditional Filipino care, Akapulko is known for skin-purifying support that helps bring clarity without harshness. Its place in our formulas reflects our desire to bridge ancestral knowledge with contemporary skin needs, clarifying without stripping, caring without force.
A marine treasure

Appreciated for its nutrients and cultural familiarity, Ar-arusip offers hydration and antioxidant support. Its inclusion pays tribute to our coastal heritage while bringing both beauty and function to the skin.
In essence
Each formula is a quiet ritual. A return to what feels grounding, calming, and true.
Russ & Rose offers more than skincare. With every application, you are invited to slow down and experience the quiet beauty of intention, care that unfolds in its own time, and skin that is allowed to respond at its own pace.
Rather than urgency, we believe in understanding.
Rather than quick fixes, we value care that unfolds in its own time.
Care, Unhurried.™
