Lightweight Hydrating Cream
Hydration & comfortA steady layer of moisture designed to feel breathable, refined, and quietly supportive.
Our Formula
Skincare shaped by balance, not urgency.
Russ & Rose began with a quiet conviction: that skincare should reflect the balance found in nature—resilient yet gentle, grounded yet refined. Rooted in the Philippines and guided by science, our formulas are made to support the skin steadily, with intention.
Philosophy
Care that keeps its pace.
Each product is designed not only to care for the skin, but to offer a moment—a pause—in the rhythm of daily life. We formulate with restraint, because effective care does not need to feel aggressive to be real.
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.
Prime Formulations
Simplicity, made deliberate.
Our Lightweight Hydrating Cream and Gentle Cleansing Foam highlight Philippine botanicals and marine extracts, chosen for their ability to support, nourish, and balance the skin—gently and effectively.
Gentle Cleansing Foam
Cleanse & balanceA soft cleanse that respects the skin’s rhythm—leaving it fresh, not stripped.
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.
Cassia alata, locally known as Akapulko.
Cassia alata (Candle Bush / Akapulko)
A symbol of gentle strength. Widely used in traditional Filipino care, Akapulko is known for its skin-purifying properties—supporting clarity without harshness.
It reflects our commitment to bridge ancestral knowledge with contemporary skin needs—clarifying without stripping, caring without force.
Caulerpa racemosa, locally known as Ar-arusip.
Caulerpa racemosa (Sea Grapes / Ar-arusip)
A marine treasure with deep cultural roots. Often enjoyed as a delicacy and appreciated for its nutrients, Ar-arusip offers hydration and antioxidant support.
Its inclusion pays tribute to our coastal heritage—bringing both beauty and function to the skin.
In essence
A quiet ritual, returned to daily.
Russ & Rose offers more than skincare. Each product is a quiet ritual—a return to what feels grounding, calming, and true. With every application, you are invited to slow down and experience the quiet beauty of intention.
