After four years of research, formulation, and clinical testing, rini, the Korean kids’ skincare brand redefining the intersection of personal care and play, has officially launched Daily Care Essentials.
Daily Care Essentials is a new collection of science-backed, everyday skincare products created specifically for children’s developing skin. At a time when parents are increasingly seeking gentle, effective, and clinically validated skincare solutions, rini is bringing Korean beauty innovation into the children’s care category with formulas designed to support healthy skin from an early age.
Developed using advanced Korean skincare expertise and backed by rigorous scientific validation, the inaugural Daily Care Essentials range includes the Daily Barrier Cream, Face & Body Lotion, and Foaming Face & Body Wash. Thoughtfully formulated for daily use, the collection reflects rini’s commitment to delivering high-performance skincare tailored to the unique needs of young skin while making self-care an engaging part of childhood. The collection is available now at heyrini.com.
rini Partners with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles
In addition, a portion of sales from the Daily Barrier Cream, Face & Body Lotion, and Foaming Face & Body Wash will benefit Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. rini is honoured to support CHLA as it continues to shape the future of children’s health through innovation, medical discovery, and a relentless commitment to improving outcomes for young patients.
Science-Backed Daily Care Essentials for Children’s Developing Skin
Co-founded by Shay Mitchell, Esther Song, and Matte Babel, rini was created in collaboration with leading Korean formulation scientists and U.S.-based pediatric specialists. All three Daily Care products are EWG VERIFIED® and have been accepted by the National Eczema Association, reflecting the brand’s commitment to the highest standards of ingredient safety and efficacy. Guided by its science-first Brand Charter, every formula is intentionally developed to deliver effective, high-performing care without compromising safety.
“Bath sparked the idea of rini,” reveals Mitchell. “Our Daily Care Essentials were the very first products we started developing over four years ago. We took our time with every formula, testing and refining until we felt confident every product delivered on exactly what we set out to create.”
“Growing up in Korea, I was introduced early to the importance of caring for your skin barrier,” said Song. “A ritual I learned early was to apply moisturiser while skin is damp, to lock in hydration. Years later, when my daughter was clinically diagnosed with eczema, I was frustrated by the lack of gentle, non-steroidal products that truly supported her skin. That inspired us to create our Daily Barrier Cream — an essential product as a mother raising a child with chronic skin concerns. While this collection reflects the Korean skincare principles I grew up with, it was ultimately created to give families the safe, effective daily care I wished I’d had for my own daughter.”

Each Daily Care formula underwent a comprehensive clinical testing process to ensure exceptional safety and performance for children’s developing skin. Testing included EpiOcular® evaluations to confirm the formulas are gentle around the eyes, HRIPT (Human Repeat Insult Patch Testing) to assess skin compatibility, and paediatrician-led in-use testing to evaluate real-world performance on babies and young children. Paediatricians and dermatologists tested the collection and found it suitable for the entire family, including babies, children, and adults.
Daily Barrier Cream — $24.99 / 239 ml (8.1 fl oz)
The Daily Barrier Cream was the first product developed for rini, inspired by the rich, multi-purpose barrier creams widely used in Korea to provide intensive hydration from head to toe. Formulated with 90.9% naturally derived ingredients and packed with Ceramide NP, Cica, Vitamin E, and Shea Butter, it was thoughtfully developed to support children’s thinner, more delicate skin barrier, which loses moisture more quickly and is more prone to dryness and irritation. Its 72-hour hydration guarantee is clinically proven through a corneometer moisture study, delivering long-lasting hydration while strengthening the skin barrier and soothing dry, sensitive skin.
Daily Face & Body Lotion — $21.99 / 296 ml (10 fl oz)
Designed as the perfect everyday moisturiser, the Face & Body Lotion delivers lightweight, fast-absorbing hydration for head-to-toe use. The formula provides lasting moisture without feeling heavy or greasy, making it ideal for daily application after bath time or throughout the day. Powered by Ceramide NP, Squalane, Shea Butter, Cica, Glycerin, and lightweight emollients, it helps leave skin feeling soft, smooth, and comfortably hydrated while supporting a healthy skin barrier.
Foaming Face & Body Wash — $19.99 / 350 ml (11.8 fl oz)
The Foaming Face & Body Wash is a gentle, clinically tested, tear-free, pH-balanced cleanser developed to cleanse without stripping moisture. Formulated with 96% naturally derived ingredients, it features a 17-amino-acid complex that helps replenish key components of the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), supporting hydration and maintaining healthy skin homeostasis by restoring amino acids depleted by everyday life. Pro-Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) was intentionally selected to help soothe skin and leave it feeling soft and hydrated after every wash, making it ideal for daily head-to-toe use.
