REN Skincare is a London based manufacturer and marketer of bio active skin care products that are free from potentially harmful ingredients. They refer to their concept as ‘Clean Bio Active Skincare’.

REN was founded in 2000 by Antony Buck and Robert Calcraft and is an independent company. Their products are produced in the UK and distributed internationally, currently present in over 40 countries worldwide. The idea for REN was born when Antony Buck’s pregnant wife experienced skin problems but was unable to find products that didn’t contain potential skin irritants in the market.

The company’s vision is to produce ‘skincare that uses the latest hi-tech bio actives, is free from skin-unfriendly synthetic ingredients and is gorgeously pleasurable to use’. Their products are advertised as free from skin-unfriendly ingredients and lists synthetic fragrance and colours, petrochemicals, propylene glycol, animal ingredients, PEGS, TEA/DEA, sulfates, silicones and parabens.

REN’s skincare products are unisex and their range covers both face and body care products. Their principle is to create non-irritant products based on bio active ingredients that have the ability to match the skin’s mapping and target specific cell processes, e.g. ageing. REN aims to apply the latest discoveries in bio active technology and have notably developed an anti ageing moisturiser containing cell life prolonging sirtuin activators. They also use Moroccan Rose Oil in several products and harvest the roses from ethical, fair trade sources.

REN donates a minimum of 2.5% of their profits to a range of charities.
