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

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 our bathroom. This is the time I had to recentre myself.

But then… I noticed all the plastic bottles, pumps and tubes surrounding me. I was shocked to learn, they would pollute our land and waters for 400-500 years, breaking down into microplastics, harming our oceans, our wildlife, our health, our children’s health.

I felt the call to bring my background in beauty and personal care to create a ritual that is simple, effective, beautiful and one with nature.  

In creating ReMI, I realised, plastic is a symptom. The problem is our disconnection. In our obsession with material success, we have become disconnected with our own humanity and our place in nature. Which is why we can make or buy toxic products without much thought. 

ReMI invites us to return to our selves. The daily ritual of nourishing our skin creates a vital moment for us to reconnect with ourselves and the vast nature we are a part of.

This simple change can make all the difference in how we step out into this world.
