General FAQ

Straight answers to the questions we hear most—about ingredients, routines, results, and how to use Root + Renew.

What makes Root + Renew different?

Root + Renew is built around one core belief: skincare should support your skin, not stress it out. We focus on barrier-first formulas, intentional actives, and products that fit real routines. No gimmicks. No overcomplication. Just effective, well-balanced skincare that works with your skin over time.

Are your products suitable for sensitive skin?

Many of our products are designed with sensitive skin in mind, especially our cleansers, hydrators, and moisturizers. That said, everyone’s skin is different. If you are highly reactive or managing a skin condition, we recommend patch testing and introducing new products slowly, especially actives.

What does “barrier-first” skincare mean?

Barrier-first means prioritizing hydration, balance, and skin health before pushing aggressive treatments. A strong barrier helps skin tolerate actives better, reduces sensitivity, and supports long-term results. Our routines are designed to protect the barrier while still delivering visible improvements.

Are your products organic or natural?

We use a blend of organic ingredients and carefully selected actives backed by science. All of our ingredients are 100% natural. While not every ingredient is organic, all formulas are thoughtfully developed to be effective, gentle, and purposeful. We prioritize performance, safety, and skin compatibility over trends.

Are your products vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. All Root + Renew products are vegan and cruelty-free.

Can I use multiple Root + Renew products together?

Yes. Our products are designed to work together as a system. You can build a simple routine or layer intentionally depending on your skin’s needs. When using actives, we recommend spacing them out across different days rather than layering everything at once.

How do I know which products are right for me?

Each product page includes guidance on who it’s for, how to use it, and where it fits in a routine. If you’re unsure, start with hydration and barrier-supporting products first, then introduce actives slowly. You can also reach out to our team for personalized guidance.

Do I Need To Use Every Product For Results?

Not at all. Root + Renew is designed to be flexible. You can start with one or two products and build slowly based on your skin’s needs. Consistency matters more than complexity.

Are Your Products Safe To Use Together With Other Brands?

Yes. Our formulas are designed to layer easily and play well with other skincare. If you’re using strong actives from multiple brands, we recommend alternating nights to avoid overloading the skin.

Do your products contain fragrance?

Some products contain naturally derived fragrance from essential oils, while others are fragrance-free. We always aim to keep fragrance subtle and skin-considered. If you are fragrance-sensitive, check the ingredient list or reach out to us before purchasing.

How should I store my skincare products?

Store products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Certain formulas, like vitamin C serums, may benefit from refrigeration to maintain freshness and stability. Always follow storage guidance listed on individual product pages.

How long does it take to see results?

Some benefits, like hydration and comfort, can be felt quickly. Visible changes such as improved tone, texture, or firmness typically appear with consistent use over several weeks. Skincare is cumulative. Consistency matters more than speed.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we ship to select international destinations. Shipping rates and delivery times are calculated at checkout. Please note that customs duties and taxes may apply depending on your location.

What is your return policy?

We accept returns on unused, unopened products within the timeframe outlined in our Returns & Refunds policy. For full details, please visit our Returns & Refunds page. If you have any further questions, please reach out to our team.
