For many skincare brands, there seems to be a bargain between skincare solutions that are scientifically developed and those that are cruelty-free and kind to the environment. Intending to bridge this gap between efficacy and safety, specialist dermatologist and founder of Tash360, Dr. Vanessa Lapiner founded her very own skincare range, root4. For Lapiner, ‘’the purpose of science is not to defeat nature but to harness it.’’
Unlike well-known skincare ranges which offer good results but contain ingredients which may interfere with hormones or be contaminated with harmful carcinogens; root4 is ethically sourced and cruelty-free. Each ingredient has been carefully selected for its properties and has been used in scientifically proven concentrations to create formulas that leave you with remarkable results – all while being environmentally conscious.
With its philosophy grounded in high-performance results, root4 is more than skincare products, it’s a shift in mindset and a celebration of beautiful skin. Through Dr. Lapiner’s dedication to the dermatological industry, she has established herself as one of the leading dermatologists in the country. At the heart of root4 lies the focus to defend, renew, and liberate the skin – three specific skincare steps that are central to your healthiest, most radiant skin.
Powered by Glow4Green technology (a unique combination of Chlorophyll, Malachite, Curcumin, and Spirulina), the Dr. L Protocol is a breakthrough in Healthy Ageing skin science, making the root4 range a game-changer for the skincare product market in South Africa. Along with Dr. Lapiner’s care for the planet, she has ensured that her products look as appealing to the eye as it is to the skin. Apart from the elegant glossy finish of the packaging, all product packaging is recyclable and biodegradable – another step Lapiner has taken to uphold her commitment to protecting the planet while not comprising on the quality of the brand.
‘’We are rooting for change in the beauty industry. ‘Clean beauty’ brands need to offer high-performance results-driven products which match or exceed the efficacy of their traditional beauty counterparts. Misleading marketing claims need to end and transparency, environmental consciousness and social responsibility need to rise,” concludes Lapiner.
root4: Good for your skin. Good for you. Good for the environment.
