A NEW KIND OF BUSINESS, A REMEDY

ReMI is a circular beauty innovation house with the aim to restore ourselves and our planet. We believe the simple act of taking care of our skin can catalyse this much needed restoration. By taking care of ourselves, we can create the space to open up to others and take care of our planet.

REMEDY OUR SKIN FROM ENVIRONMENTAL AGGRESSORS

ReMI helps protect our skin from environmental aggressors and strengthen its barrier.

REMEDY OUR SELVES FROM MODERN-DAY STRESSORS 

ReMI works on a multisensory level to provide healing through touch, visual, and scent – creating a centring practice. 

REMEDY OUR PLANET FROM WASTE AND POLLUTION 

A change in our daily habits can positively impact the global plastic crisis and climate change. ReMI strives to make this change a beautiful experience.

ReMI - For skin, self and planet.

 

HOW IT ALL STARTED

PART 1: THE ABSURDITY

Sheer exhaustion.

Like many women, I was trying to do it all, while running on empty. The only time I had for myself was behind the closed doors of the bathroom. This is the time I had to recharge, while cleansing and nourishing my tired body.

But then… I noticed all the plastic bottles, pumps and tubes surrounding me. Where were they going? I was shocked to learn, nowhere… They would stay around for 400-500 years, breaking down into microplastics, harming our oceans, our wildlife, our health, our children’s health.

I was doing this everyday while trying to make myself feel better? The absurdity of our way of life struck me. We were driving ourselves too hard, and then to survive, we consumed stuff that harm our children and destroy our planet.

 

PART 2: THE SEARCH

I wanted to reclaim that daily routine for myself and others that needed it. To do it right, we needed to look into the future – what would our grandchildren be using, bereft of the resources we take for granted now? It would be a simple product, but one that packed a punch and created a restorative experience. It would be more than just a skincare.

We designed to that ideal, leveraging the latest biotechnology and ancient native botanicals. Beautiful and knowledgeable experts joined the effort. It was too perfect to say it was a mere coincidence that we had met. 

In creating ReMI, I realised, plastic is a symptom. The problem is our disconnection. In pursuit of material success, we had become disconnected with our humanity. Which is why we decide to make or buy toxic products.

 

PART 3: AN INVITATION

ReMI invites us to return to our selves. While going through the basic routine of nourishing our skin and breathing deeply, we can reconnect with ourselves and the vast nature we are a part of.

This is a vital, daily practice of love that can make all the difference in who we are and how we step out into this world.
