Rose-Marie Swift: The Originator Of Performance-First Clean Beauty
After battling with her own health issues and skin irritations as a result of the chemicals found in cosmetics at the time, master makeup artist Rose-Marie Swift was the first in the industry to set a high standard for performance and better ingredient choices in makeup and skincare. Her passion for truth in beauty inspired her to create her own products and launch RMS in 2009.
Ingredient Innovators Who Put Wellness First
As an artist-led brand that puts health and safety first, we are constantly inspired to maximize performance, while creating our own clean standards. Why? The United States currently bans only 30 ingredients from personal care products. At RMS, there are currently over 2,700 ingredients that we do not use.

*Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
Rich in antioxidants, jojoba oil mimics the natural molecular structure of the oils found in healthy human skin to allow for easy absorption of nourishing skin benefits, while creating a protective barrier from environmental stressors and free radicals.
How We Source It
Harvested in the Southwest of the US, we extract our jojoba oil from the beans of the Simmondsia Chinensis (jojoba) plant through a cold press process. What’s special about this process is that it does not use intense heat or chemical solvents, which allows for the nutrients to be preserved for the highest quality ingredients possible.
Why We Love It
Jojoba oil is the closest match to our skin’s natural oil, sebum, which means it is easily and rapidly absorbed by the skin, never leaving it greasy. Mimics the natural molecular structure of the oils found in healthy human skin. This allows for easy absorption whilst encouraging the skin to naturally balance its own oil production.
Jojoba oil isn’t actually an oil, but a wax ester. It’s incredibly good for even the most sensitive skin types.
Creates a protective barrier from environmental stressors and free radical damage.

*Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil
Meticulously extracted from fresh coconuts without using heat or chemical solvents, our rich, certified organic raw coconut oil moisturizes, protects and soothes the skin.
Certified organic, unrefined raw coconut oil is an excellent moisturizer that helps soften and soothe the skin. Our coconut oil is cold centrifuge and 100% guaranteed raw. Coconut oil is the richest source of lauric caprylic acid (approx. 65%) which is also found in breast milk. This grade of coconut oil helps get rid of impurities on the skin.
How We Source It
We extract our coconut oil from fresh coconuts from Thailand without the use of heat or chemical solvents preserving its natural vitamin E, antioxidants and enzymes. This technique ensures the quality of our coconut oil superior over store bought coconut oils. Many oils, when refined due to heat processing (including cold pressing), are stripped of their antioxidants and other beneficial properties. For that reason alone, refining any oils can be a very tricky process. We avoid these refined oils at all costs.
Why We Love It
The highest grade coconut oil on the market:
RMS Beauty coconut oil is meticulously harvested in Thailand from fresh coconuts using a cold centrifuge method - which keeps the unique nutrient profile intact.
RMS coconut oil contains one of the highest levels of lauric and caprylic acid found in nature - the highest being human breast milk.
