More about River Organics

The products are conceived by wife and husband team Corinne & Fabien, natives of Canada and France. Corinne is an Art Historian with an eye for simple beauty and Fabien is a natural product chemist who worked in the Chanel skincare laboratories in the South of France, where they both lived for 8 years.

Life in France, and travels in Italy and the Middle East introduced Corinne to beauty regimens in which oil, not creams, formed the basis of skincare.

We take into consideration where and how the product is used by our clients and how it can benefit their skin. We publish a full list of ingredients for each product that is completely transparent. There are no hidden ingredients.

We strive to be your go-to zero-waste makeup brand with our thoughtful paper-based packaging that is fully compostable. All of the makeup comes in paper tubes or jars and all labels are sugarcane-based and also compostable.

We take care to ship your orders in recycled envelopes from Eco-Enclose, without additional marketing material or packing. Your package will arrive plastic-free.
