Divine Oleum & Plane Jane® Intensive Hydrating Serum recognised

Rinascentia, an Australian skincare brand known for their clean, luxurious, and eco-conscious products, has won Product Sustainability Awards for two of their standout products: the Divine Oleum Face Oil & Cleanser/All in One and the Plane Jane® Intensive Hydrating Serum. These awards underscore Rinascentia’s commitment to both skincare innovation and environmental responsibility, showcasing how beauty can be achieved without compromising the planet.

Sustainable Design: Elegant Glass and Metal Packaging

The key factors that impressed the judging panel were the elegant, minimal packaging and concentrated, multi-purpose ingredients used for both products. Rinascentia prioritises eco-friendly packaging solutions, opting for glass bottles and metal caps, both of which are infinitely recyclable. This choice significantly reduces the environmental footprint of the products, moving away from plastic in favour of more sustainable alternatives.

By choosing glass and metal, Rinascentia not only helps reduce plastic waste but also creates packaging that is designed to last. Rinascentia provides a refill service for salons and customers. The glass bottles can be refilled, reused or recycled, contributing to a circular economy where materials are constantly repurposed. The sleek and durable packaging also enhances the luxurious experience of using Rinascentia’s skincare, making it a beautiful addition to any skincare routine.

Concentrated, Multi-Purpose Formulas

Both the Divine Oleum Face Oil & Cleanser/All in One and the Plane Jane® Intensive Hydrating Serum are designed with sustainability in mind through their concentrated, multi-purpose formulas. These products provide excellent value by serving multiple functions, which means consumers need less product overall. This leads to a reduction in product consumption, ultimately lowering the environmental footprint associated with the production, shipping, and disposal of the products.

The Divine Oleum Face Oil & Cleanser/All in One can be used as both a nourishing face oil and a gentle cleanser, reducing the need for separate products. Similarly, the Plane Jane® Intensive Hydrating Serum provides deep hydration and skincare benefits in a single formula, making it a versatile staple in any routine. This approach not only minimises waste but also encourages consumers to invest in high-quality products that deliver lasting results with fewer resources.

Locally Sourced, Natural Ingredients

Rinascentia is passionate about using natural and locally sourced ingredients that are both effective for skincare and gentle on the environment. The brand carefully selects ingredients that are free from harmful chemicals, using only plant-based, organic materials wherever possible. These ocean-friendly ingredients ensure that the product formulations do not harm marine ecosystems when they enter the water system or oceans.

By sourcing ingredients locally, Rinascentia minimise their carbon footprint, supporting local farmers and communities while reducing the environmental impact of long-distance shipping.

Rinascentia’s commitment to water-smart, concentrated formulations also ensures minimal water usage during production, further reducing environmental strain.

Founder’s Vision: Empowering Authentic Beauty

Rinascentia was founded by Rina Timpano, a passionate advocate for both clean beauty and sustainability. Rina’s vision was to create a brand that empowers individuals to embrace their authentic beauty while making responsible choices for the environment. “We believe that skincare should not only nurture your skin but also respect the planet,” Rina says. “Our goal is to offer luxury products that deliver transformative results, all while ensuring that our practices are as eco-conscious as possible.”

This philosophy is evident in Rinascentia’s winning products, from the carefully selected ingredients to the thoughtful, sustainable packaging. Rina’s background as a formulator has allowed her to combine her passion for beauty with her deep commitment to sustainability, leading to the creation of Rinascentia Skincare as a brand that truly aligns with modern values.

Supporting Environmental & Social Causes

Beyond the products themselves, Rinascentia actively contributes to environmental conservation efforts. The brand supports the Australian Marine Conservation Society and the Starlight Foundation, two organisations dedicated to protecting marine life and supporting children’s health. Through these initiatives, Rinascentia helps raise awareness of environmental issues and works to support causes that aim to protect our planet for future generations.

Sustainable Practices Across the Board

Rinascentia has implemented a variety of sustainable practices throughout its operations, including:

• Glass bottles and jars: By avoiding plastic packaging and using alternative materials, Rinascentia reduces plastic waste in the beauty industry.
• Cardboard product boxes: The use of cardboard to protect the products means they can easily be recycled.
• Refills and reusability: The brand encourages customers to reuse and refill their packaging, and provides in-salon refill services, further extending the lifecycle of each product.
• Naturally-derived ingredients: No toxic chemicals are used in Rinascentia formulations, preventing pollution to the local environment and ensuring kindness to skin.
• Local sourcing: Rinascentia prioritises locally-sourced ingredients, which means a low transport footprint.

A Commitment to a Better Future

Rinascentia’s two Product Sustainability Awards celebrate the company’s dedication to creating beauty products that are as kind to the Earth as they are to the skin. By prioritising sustainability in every aspect of its operations, from ingredient sourcing to packaging and waste management, Rinascentia proves that luxury and environmental responsibility can coexist.

“Rinascentia has beautiful products and packaging; I love the Mediterranean-inspired branding. Not only are the winning products packaged in quality glass bottles, they work wonderfully, smell divine and have a luxurious feel. It’s fantastic when beauty brands choose glass over plastic for their bottles and jars, and Rinascentia also provides refills which is even better. I was fascinated to learn about Rinascentia – their Founder Rina’s ‘less is more’ approach and formulations are inspired by her Italian roots, and Rinascentia was hand-picked to be featured in the prestigious Hollywood Gift Bags at the 95th Academy Awards! What a beauty brand!”
