Our Story

Russ & Rose was born in the Philippines, a land of rich biodiversity, healing botanicals, and centuries-old rituals of care. In a landscape where tradition meets innovation, we saw an opportunity to create something rare—skincare that honors our heritage while meeting the standards of modern luxury.

The name Russ & Rose reflects a balance we deeply value. Strength and softness. Earth and bloom. Heritage and modern care. Our journey began with a quiet idea: What if skincare felt less like a task and more like a homecoming?

Rooted in Ritual

In Filipino culture, beauty has always been gentle. A warm cloth in the morning. A mother’s oil blend at dusk. These small but sacred rituals shaped our philosophy. At Russ & Rose, each product is crafted to restore not just the skin, but your sense of self.

We believe skincare is a pause in a fast-moving world.
A moment to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with your quiet strength.

Sourced with Care

Our formulations are powered by Philippine botanicals like Akapulko (Candle bush) and Ar-arusip (Sea grapes)—plants long celebrated in local healing traditions. We select each ingredient with purpose and care, ensuring it reflects both heritage and efficacy.

These are not ingredients chosen for trend. They are chosen for truth.

Elevated by Intention

To us, luxury lies in refinement. From the first formulation to the final texture, every detail is shaped by precision and purpose. We blend nature’s wisdom with modern science to deliver skincare that performs beautifully while staying close to the soul of our islands.

Russ & Rose is an invitation.
To embrace Filipino craftsmanship.
To return to mindful rituals.
To celebrate a kind of beauty that feels deeply, quietly yours.
