RAAIE

RAAIE is a skincare brand that celebrates the sun while protecting your skin from its harmful effects. Their philosophy is to use New Zealand botanicals to repair sun damage and promote healthy, youthful-looking skin. The brand believes that the sun is essential to our existence and mood, but the right skincare is needed to protect against its damaging effects.
As research suggests 80% of ageing is due to the effects of the sun, and yet, we shouldn’t hide from the sun out of fear of ageing. The sun is a literal force of life-giving energy. It is essential to our existence. It’s good for our mood. It's good for our immune systems. It’s good for our gut. It regulates melatonin, which regulates sleep, which regulates skin repair. There is no such thing as good skin without the sun.
RAAIE's simplified yet potent skincare regime aims to repair sun damage and accelerate signs of ageing like wrinkles, sagging, brown spots, and dull skin. With RAAIE, you can enjoy the sun while protecting your skin's health and vitality.

Green Science

RAAIE is in awe of nature’s botanicals and lean on them heavily throughout their formulas but also believe lab-derived ingredients should play a role in skincare for the best - and fastest - results. Just because something is derived in a lab, doesn’t mean it is harmful for you. Equally, just because something is plant-based, doesn’t mean it isn’t toxic. Poison ivy is a plant. There are deadly toxic mushrooms. Hydrangeas contain cyanide!

RAAIE is less concerned with “natural” or “synthetic”, and more concerned about whether ingredients are safe and biocompatible with your skin. Because at the end of the day, we spend money on skincare to get results. And those results come when natural ingredients play on the same team as lab-derived ingredients that have decades worth of clinical efficacy studies behind them. Things like Retinoids and Vitamin C that make significant changes in your skin – the kind of changes that you can see.

RAAIE embrace a holistic approach that harnesses the power of the natural world with the hard learned knowledge of science. Yay Science! Yay Nature! Yay teamwork! Yay brighter, tighter, mightier skin!

Note: They classify all of their plant and lab-based ingredients via EWG (Environmental Working Group) which is an independent, non-profit, nonpartisan organization which provides ratings on cosmetic ingredients so customers know what they are putting on their skin is safe.

Ethical Standards

RAAIE does everything they can to source materials that are both safe for the planet and safe for the person. They also ensure ingredients are sustainably produced, have a low impact on the land, and are easily regenerated. 

For example, in marine algae harvesting, their suppliers follow Tikanga Māori - a strict, traditional harvesting practice of the indigenous people of New Zealand. By using this time proven approach, they harvest ingredients without compromising our environmental and social responsibilities. This respectful approach means they can offer high potency natural bioactives whilst respecting the land and water that the ingredients came from.

Sustainability

RAAIE sustainability mission is to develop smart, creative solutions that span across packaging, carbon footprint, ethical sourcing, and non-toxic ingredients. 

For customers this means they know the products have been consciously formulated while still delivering the best, most effective, most luxurious skincare out there.

Their bottles are made from 20% recycled glass. Caps are currently plastic but are working on a better solution for their second phase launch.
