The ritual, in motion
A ritual, seen up close.
A close study in form, light, and the details behind two everyday essentials.
Our formulation approach
Built for the climate we know.
Two considered formulas, with Filipino botanicals at the center.
We formulate around the realities of heat, humidity, sunscreen, sweat, and everyday buildup, pairing Filipino botanicals with familiar skincare ingredients in lightweight, comfortable textures.
Akapulko
A Philippine botanical in the Gentle Cleansing Foam, paired with 1% salicylic acid, calendula, licorice, rose, witch hazel, and allantoin.
Ar-arusip
Philippine sea grapes in the Lightweight Hydrating Cream, alongside oatmeal, squalane, amino acids, glycoproteins, and shea butter.
Warm-weather textures
A non-stripping foam and lightweight cream designed with heat, humidity, sunscreen, and everyday buildup in mind.
Our community advocacy
What we value, we care for.
Pateg is an Ilocano word for what is valued, regarded, and held close. Through Project Pateg, Russ & Rose begins with small, intentional efforts toward clean water access and community-centered support.
Begin small
Choose actions that can be approached with care, responsibility, and humility.
Stay community-centered
Let support respond to real needs rather than becoming decorative brand language.
Beyond the products
Extend attention toward people, dignity, and access to essential care.
