Welcome to my workshop. See how my small-batch skincare and haircare products are crafted, from the first measurement to the final bottle.

I am Renuka, the skin alchemist behind the brand. My journey started when I wanted safe, natural products for my daughter. This passion grew into a diploma in Ayurvedic Skincare and Herbalism, and in 2019, MadebyRen was born.

This week is about slowing down and getting the basics right. Here's a glimpse of me back at my formulation table, measuring and mixing. Good things take time, and every batch is made with patience and care, one step at a time.

The struggle is real, but so is the growth. This was a huge moment for me, unboxing my first filling machine. It's my biggest investment yet and a huge step up from my kitchen counter setup, helping me bring more consistency to every bottle.

Blooper alert! I designed a new label for my bestselling Hibiscus Shampoo, but it came from the printer in the wrong size. Thankfully, only 20 labels were printed. If you get one, you own a limited edition "oops" bottle. This is small business life.

I've received feedback that my shampoos are thick and hard to get out of the bottle. While I won't compromise on quality, I've found a solution. I now offer these reusable pumps that you can request with your order to make using my products easier.

For Mother's Day, I sat down with my Aai, my biggest inspiration. She shares her simple beauty secrets from her time, like using coconut oil for hair and a mix of rose water and glycerin for skin. Her message is simple: be natural and be consistent.

Ever wondered what 'Ren' means? In different cultures, it represents purity, renewal, and care. This philosophy is at the heart of my brand. I strive to create simple, effective skincare that nourishes and transforms, remaining accessible and uncomplicated.

It brings me so much joy to pack a repeat order for a dear customer. This box includes our dry skin face wash, CO2 hair oil, and a customized day cream. Your continued trust is what allows me to keep doing what I love.

About Behind the Brand: Our Handmade Process

I want to show you exactly where your products come from, not just the finished, shelf-ready look. My workshop is a space of constant testing, like the time my label printer got the sizes wrong, or the day I finally installed my first filling machine to make the output more consistent for you.
