A Universal Skin Care Revolution
Whenever the media talk about clean beauty today, it is easy to ignore that the trend didn’t always exist. It was not always common to examine what’s really inside any skincare product, or to expect transparency, sustainability, and product safety. But over seventeen years ago, well before the hashtag was around or retailers added “clean” sections to their space, Richard Russell – the CEO of Russell Organics, quietly began a skin care revolution.
This is not merely a story regarding skin care. It’s a tale about values. About establishing a higher standard when the legacy one had failed. And it is about the reason more people than ever are changing to clean, non-toxic, truly natural skincare, and why Russell Organics remains at the heart of it all.
Um... What Is Clean Beauty, All About?
Let us clear the air. Clean beauty in not a product label. It’s a philosophy. At its core, clean beauty requires using safe skincare products that avoid toxic chemicals and unnecessary synthetics. But it’s also about something deeper. Integrity. It is about understanding that what we put on our skin matters. What we place on our skin, goes into our body. This matters. Not just for our complexions, but for our bodies and the planet.
Clean beauty is anchored in:
Brand Clarity – nothing hidden, no misleading “perfumes”, or “fragrance blends.” This involves the brand’s entire product range. All products.
Ingredient purity – formulas made without parabens, phenoxyethanol, sulfates, petrochemicals, or phthalates.
Eco-responsibility - products made with sustainability and biodegradability in mind. No toxic chemicals finding there way as run-off menace for the environment.
Cruelty-free standards - no animal testing, ever. No animal sourced ingredients. Ever.
Results-first mindfulness – excellent, skin-first formulas that are as effective as they are clean.
It seems obvious now. But back in 2007, this was an unheard of idea. Russell Organics was the pioneer to begin the change.
The Brand That Was Clean Before Clean Was Cool
When Russell Organics launched, there was no “clean beauty” section. In fact, there was not even a shared term for what that meant. Retailers, buyers, and merchandisers, had no idea of how to retail such a revolutionary concept. What there was, however, were shelves full of skincare brands that used questionable ingredients – many of that contained established links to skin irritation, hormone disruption, or worse.
Rather than chasing trends, Russell Organics followed a simple principle: only use ingredients that are non-toxic, effective, and sourced from plants whenever possible. That meant no shortcuts, no synthetic fragrances, and no compromise. Each formulation was created from scratch containing high-quality plant-based ingredients that created visible results without the irritating trade-offs.
What started as a belief soon established a map for the world. And while other brands would borrow clean beauty trend years later, Russell Organics was already established as the pioneer of the clean beauty category.
Why Clean Beauty Still Resonates
Fast forward to now, and clean beauty has become a global conversation. A true gold standard. But with popularity brings confusion. Many “clean” skin care brands still use misleading greenwashing tactics, using nature-inspired packaging or clean beauty buzzwords without attempting to meet the standards of clean beauty.
It’s not enough to use phrases such as natural, green, or eco. What matters is proof. And Russell Organics has never wavered in its commitment. Every product is:
Certified Vegan
Certified Cruelty-free
Free from synthetic toxins
Certified Made in the USA
Certified Clean Beauty

This is why consumers who care about ingredient integrity continue to return to Russell Organics. They are not merely purchasing skincare. They’re investing in clean beauty they trust.
