Clean
Formulated with excellent clean ingredients, including organic Kakadu plum, several types of vitamin c and organic rose distillate.
Ethical
Rinascentia is based in Sydney, Australia and does not use animal testing or plastic beads and also tries to use locally sourced Australian organic ingredients as much as possible. They use Fair Trade Baraka Shea Butter, which supports women and communities in northern Ghana. Additionally, the brand supports charitable organizations such as the Starlight Children's Foundation, the Australian Marine Conservation Society, and the Australian Cancer Research Foundation. The brand also grows some of its fruits, vegetables, and herbs organically. All Rinascentia products are designed and manufactured in-house in Sydney.
Sustainable
Rinascentia is focused on sustainability and continually seeks environmentally friendly packaging alternatives, compostable mailers, and ingredients that are free of pesticides and not tested on animals. Formulations use the least amount of effective ingredients to avoid unnecessary fillers that have no benefit to the skin and the brand plans to move toward refill caps on their bottles. By taking these actions, a little of the product goes a long way.
Responsible
Rinascentia uses Fair Trade Shea butter in their products to support women, families, and communities in northern Ghana. The brand also supports the Australian Marine Conservation Society to preserve the ocean's beauty and the Starlight foundation to provide assistance to Australian kids. Furthermore, they ensure sustainability by using non-toxic cleaning products and reusing or recycling packaging.

Review

It needs to be said that I haven’t visited an ‘orchard of youth’ for many years now, but this serum is definitely bringing back memories! It feels incredible on my skin – I love that it has marine collagen, several types of vitamin C and kakadu plum and it certainly feels intensely hydrating and smoothing. I love that it comes in a glass bottle, and the smell is lovely too. A firm favourite!

Made in Australia (in-house by the brand themselves), organic and fair trade ingredients, sustainable packaging… they even grow some of their own organic fruits, vegetables and herbs for the products! Gorgeous!

Review

As a regular vitamin C serum user, I love that this product contains high-potency vitamin C, which helps with fading the pigmentation and acne scarring on my face. The citrusy scent leaves skin feeling refreshed and I love that only a few drops are needed to cover the entire face and neck. I’m also highly impressed by Rinascentia’s efforts to operate sustainably and give back to society.

Review

I love how easily the opaque drops of this Vitamin C serum glide across the skin; with only the tiniest amount required to cover your face and decolletage. The scents of citrus and wonderful combination of quality ingredients left my skin feeling brighter and firmer after only a few uses.

I love that this brand supports the Australian Marine Conservation Society and actively avoids ingredients that are toxic to our oceans and sea life. I also respect that Rinascentia has additional sustainability goals that they are aiming for, such as moving toward refill caps on their bottles.
