At REN Clean Skincare we know that it’s only by taking action that we can make positive change for our planet. So, alongside our Zero Waste by the end of 2021 Pledge, we partnered with the grassroots charity Surfrider Foundation in 2018, to combine our expertise on packaging waste, taking a stand against plastic pollution in our environment.

For each Holiday Gift Set, we sell online, $1 will go directly to Surfrider Foundation. Plus, on friday November 27th , we’ll support them further by donating 15% of all orders from the day.
