The term "clean beauty" gets thrown around a lot. But what does it mean? To us, it's way more than simply omitting harmful substances. It's a commitment to efficacious, good-for-you formulas – made the right way. And Romer never compromises on their ideals. Honesty, integrity, and transparency are all too often overlooked these days. Romer believes you deserve peace of mind regarding your skincare regimen. So how do they meet such exacting standards? Stringent safety guidelines, Dermatologist testing, and a rigorous ingredient sourcing process.
Romer is a sustainableskincare brand because they use all-natural ingredients that are ethically sourced, and they never test their products on animals. They also have a commitment to using recycled and recyclable materials in their packaging.
There are a few things you can do to have a sustainable skincare routine:
- Use natural and organic products as much as possible.
- Avoid single-use plastic packaging.
- Choose products with minimal packaging.
- Use reusable cotton pads instead of disposable ones.
- Do not use microbeads in scrubs.

Lauren Rome was working on Wall Street, with stress and long hours resulting in breakouts, dark circles, and dehydration. In addition, she couldn't find a reliable routine despite herbathroomcabinet overflowing with skincare products. Finally, after years of searching unsuccessfully, Lauren decided it was time to take matters into her own hands. She left Wall Street behind to create a better solution for women and men struggling with the same daily skin challenges.
Botanicalbeautyingredients that include botanicals, oils, and extracts are organically grown and ethically sourced. Please take a peek at some of our signature ingredients and find out where they're from!
Produced from bees that pollinate the native tea tree in New Zealand, manuka honey is a powerful, antioxidant-rich humectant with more antibacterial, soothing, and moisture-locking abilities than any other variety of honey. For these reasons, it's ideal for skin prone to dryness, irritation, and breakouts. But did you know that manuka honey is in such high demand that it's being counterfeited? Insert the UMF (Unique Manuka Factor), which tracks the quality of the buzzy ingredient. Our sweet stuff has a rating of 26—meaning significant antibacterial and healing properties.
All those in favor of baby soft skin, raise your hand! Obtained from the fruit of the African karate tree, shea butter is rich in essential fatty acids (omega 3 and 6) and vitamin E (tocopherol) to moisturize, nourish, soothe and balance. Our shea butter supplier is helping to make the world a better place by fighting deforestation and reducing CO2 emissions, which makes life easier and safer for the growers. The company implemented a "supplier code of conduct" to encourage a more ethical supply chain. It also established a program aimed at increasing women shea collectors to help drive social, environmental, and economic development in West Africa.
Aloe vera is a plant extract known for its hydrating, soothing, and anti-inflammatory properties. Store shelves are lined with water-based face washes, but the foundation of our cleanser is good-for-you aloe vera. Romer carefully sought their supplier because its aloe vera is produced according to the COSMOS standard and has been certified by ECOCERT. Grown in the hills and valleys of El Progreso (quick geography lesson: that's the dry corridor of Guatemala), our pure aloe vera is of the highest quality and is produced by organic certification standards. Hand-filleted, raw aloe vera leaves are purchased from local farmers and processed at a dedicated facility to ensure precise quality control.
Rich in polyphenols (potent, free radical-fighting antioxidants), green tea extract guards against environmental damage and premature aging. Our supplier champions renewable plants and the cold water extraction method. This eco-friendly technique takes a bit longer, but it's worth it to guarantee the precious plant constituents aren't damaged by heat. Furthermore, strict adherence to sustainability and compliance measures means no greenhouse gases or toxins are emitted from production.
Derived from the only plant to contain all 24 known betalain antioxidants, prickly pear seed oil contains polyphenols, amino acids, and essential fatty acids (including omega 6 and 9), which makes it highly nourishing and moisturizing. With 150% more vitamin E than argan oil, it also packs a free radical-fighting punch. Their supplier's mission? Produce products that are proven beneficial to people and the environment we all share. A dedicated staff of botanists, agronomists, pharmacists, chemists, microbiologists, compounders, and analysts work tirelessly to use knowledge and technology to get the best out of nature. All ingredients come from proven sustainable sources, nothing is ever taken unethically from the wild, and careful processing methods promise the active compounds to stay in their most pure, potent, andnaturalform.
Derived from olives (yes, olives!), squalane is a lightweight, non–comedogenic oil that quickly absorbs into the skin to maximize hydration and balance sebum levels. Romer supports their supplier because of their unwavering dedication to plant-based squalene (despite the increased cost of this fantastic ingredient) and a continued commitment to supplying raw materials, utilizing technology platforms that mirror the ever-evolving market expectations, and manufacturing innovative,eco-friendly products.
A skin-soothing agent naturally occurring in oats' cell walls, oat beta-glucan helps soothe skin and reduce redness. Romer loves their oat supplier because of its commitment to renewable agricultural practices, minimizing waste, and developing lean manufacturing processes. The company works closely with breeders and growers to develop unique varieties of renewable botanicals that produce high concentrations of active molecules. And proprietary processing technologies use only eco-friendly, raw, and processed ingredients that are acceptable in food and cosmetic formulations.
Obtained from the leaves of Mediterranean rosemary shrub, rosemary leaf oil is prized for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, healing, and tightening properties. It also has a wonderfully woody, herbaceous scent. Our rosemary leaf oil supplier has been dedicated to sustainable production and processing since 1893. The company has relationships with its growers dating back generations, and its proprietary methods keep the natural properties of essential oils intact while removing allergens, color, and other unwanted constituents.

ODS RECOVERY & DESTRUCTION – This project recovers and destroys ozone-depleting substances (ODS) used as a refrigerant. ODS is known as having high GHG potential. The recovery is carried out at a recycling facility in Laval, north of Montréal, Canada. Once the ODS is recovered, it is sent to an incineration facility located at the Clean Harbors Environmental Services facility in El Dorado, Arkansas. The destruction of ODS prevents their emission into the atmosphere. The estimated emission reduction for this project is 81,416 tCO2e per year.
Romer works with The Deschutes River Conservancy in Central Oregon to restore over 115 cubic feet per second of flow to this section of the river.

In addition, the Nature Conservancy in Georgia and the Flint River Soil and Water Conservation District work collaboratively with farmers in an ecologically critical tributary to the Flint River to retrofit irrigation systems with new technology that can reduce groundwater withdrawal by up to 20%.The goal of The Alfalfa Project (TAP) is to convert 350,000 acres of alfalfa in the San Joaquin Valley from traditional flood or sprinkler irrigation to subsurface drip irrigation and from conventional farming practices to precision farming practices, saving over 300 billion gallons of water annually.
