Rooted in Ritual – Our Story

The Heart & Soul of Refined Version

At Refined Version, we believe skincare is more than just a routine—it’s a daily ritual. A moment to slow down, reconnect, and care for both skin and spirit. Our mission is to offer intentional, high-quality products that honor melanin-rich skin, support everyday balance, and celebrate natural radiance. Every formula is thoughtfully chosen to reflect simplicity, purpose, and care—so you can experience beauty as a grounding, personal ritual.


Our Story

Refined Version was founded from a desire to reconnect with what matters most—nature, heritage, and self. Blending the elegance of African traditions with the calm of Vermont simplicity, our brand was born from the belief that beauty is not about perfection but presence. We offer skincare designed to support your rhythm, your roots, and your radiance—without overwhelming steps or unnecessary ingredients.

Our journey is deeply personal. Rooted in cultural wisdom and redefined through modern rituals, we aim to shift the skincare experience from routine to restoration. With every product, we invite you to return to yourself.


Our Values 

At Refined Version, conscious care is at the heart of everything we create.
All of our products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free — formulated without animal-derived ingredients and never tested on animals.
Our commitment to mindful skincare goes beyond results. It’s about ritual, respect, and responsibility — to your skin, your spirit, and the planet.


Our Commitment to Purity & Purpose

We are uncompromising when it comes to ingredient integrity, transparency, and sustainability. Our products are made using plant-based, cruelty-free formulations that deliver real results—without ever compromising your health or the planet. Each item in our collection is crafted with intention: clean, effective, and made for everyday ritual.

We choose fewer, better ingredients that do more—because less can be more when it’s rooted in purpose.


Skincare for Every Story

At Refined Version, we celebrate all skin tones, textures, and types. We believe that melanin-rich skin deserves products that feel like they were made for it—because they were. Our collection is created with inclusivity at its core, supporting a wide range of needs with products that are gentle, restorative, and deeply nourishing.

We don’t just see skin—we see the story behind it.


Welcome to the Refined Version Community

We are more than a skincare brand—we’re a movement toward stillness, softness, and self-connection. Whether you’re building your first ritual or refining your long-loved routine, you belong here. Every step you take is a celebration of your own beauty—cultural, personal, and uniquely yours.

Thank you for walking this journey with us.
Together, we honor the art of self-care—one mindful moment at a time.
