Leading Facial Bar Franchise Enters First-of-Its-Kind Retail Launch with Kid-First Personal Care and Play Brand

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FACE FOUNDRIÉ, the nation’s leading focused facial bar, announces an exclusive nationwide partnership with rini, the kid-first Korean brand where personal care and play meet innovation. 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. Beginning today, rini products are available in all 80+ FACE FOUNDRIÉ locations across the country, marking the largest brick-and-mortar retail footprint since rini’s debut in November 2025.

The partnership brings together two brands united by a shared belief that personal care should be an inclusive and thoughtfully designed experience. Guided by its science-first brand charter, each rini formula is intentionally developed to deliver effective, high-performing care without the compromising safety of delicate skin. FACE FOUNDRIÉ’s environment of expert-led, results-driven facial care provides the ideal home for a brand built on formulations, transparency, and fun.

“Kids are already curious about skincare. They’re watching, they’re asking, they’re reaching for whatever is on the bathroom counter,” said Michele Henry, Founder and CEO of FACE FOUNDRIÉ. “The question parents are really asking isn’t whether their child is interested. It’s whether there’s something safe enough to hand them. rini answers that. It’s clinically tested, dermatologist-approved, and built from the ground up for kids’ skin and that’s exactly the kind of product we want in our shops.”

“rini is the solution my family searched for raising a child with chronic skin concerns,” shares Esther Song, Co-Founder of rini. “My partner, Shay and I tested and reformulated every product until we were happy, as parents. Finding a retail partner that genuinely understands our vision and shares our value for safe, thoughtful formulation is important to us. FACE FOUNDRIÉ is the perfect match.”

Available in all FACE FOUNDRIÉ locations beginning August 4, the in-store rini collection will include the first Hydrogel Masks made for kids— Hydrating Hydrogel Facial Mask and After-Sun Hydrogel Mask, Gentle Facial Sheet Masks, Full Face & Eye Wipes, and Face & Body Crayons.

The most recent launch from the Korean-Made brand, Daily Care 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.
