K-Beauty Skin Care for Two to Teens

rini is a consciously crafted skincare and play brand developed specifically for kids. Founded by Shay Mitchell, Esther Song and Matte Babel, the brand is created in collaboration with leading pediatric chemists and laboratories in South Korea. rini offers dermatologist-tested products designed to support healthy habits from an early age with products families can trust. 

The idea for rini emerged from everyday parenting moments that revealed a need for safer, more innovative and restorative care for children's skin. rini, a colloquial word for children in Korean, represents kids ages two to teens and embodies the philosophy of Korean beauty.  

"The idea for rini came from real parenting moments, when we realized the products we wanted for our kids simply didn't exist," says Shay Mitchell. 

"It's about nurturing their imagination and confidence, while knowing we're choosing products made thoughtfully for their skin," adds Esther Song.
