ABOUT BARNES BROTHERS

We use only the highest quality, natural ingredients in our products, and organic whenever possible. Our ingredients are ethically sourced, cruelty-free, and free of harmful chemicals.

Made in the USA, in small controlled batches, we are constantly exploring new and innovative ingredients to integrate into to our products—and we are committed to using the latest scientific research, industry discoveries, and more to create the most effective products possible.

We are relentlessly committed to end-to-end sustainability, and we believe that it is possible to have both high-quality products and a low environmental impact. Aside from our sustainable commitment to ingredients (above), we have a multi-faceted sustainable approach to our packaging strategy.

Our premium skincare containers, typically found only with high end "cosmeceutical" brands, are refillable, reusable airless dispensing containers. Made of durable plastic with an aluminum base and cap, ensuring years of use, they are quick and easy to refill with our sustainable stand up pouch containers.

Our “Eco-Refill” system utilizes stand-up plastic pouches that are a sustainable way to refill your favorite Barnes Brothers products. They're also a great value, delivering a lower cost per ounce, so you can save money and the planet at the same time. These pouches are planned in 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 ounce variations. Lastly, all of our grooming products are delivered in refillable, recyclable, and stylish plastic and occasionally glass containers.

We offset the carbon emissions from our shipping by supporting renewable energy projects. We believe that sustainability is an important part of our brand, and we are committed to making a positive impact on the environment.

We have a team of experts who are constantly researching and developing new products, evaluating new technologies, and refining our manufacturing and delivery processes. We are always looking for new ingredients and innovative formulations that will improve the performance and effectiveness of our products.

We don’t have bureaucratic formulation processes, lengthy manufacturing lead times, multi-month distribution cycles, etc. like the major brands are forced to — so we can improve and modify our formulations rapidly and innovate at a far greater pace and therefore deliver optimized solutions into customer hands quickly.

We also work closely with customers and testers to get their feedback on our products, especially before their release, and we use this feedback to improve our products over time. We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible products, and we believe that research and development is essential to achieving this goal. 

At Barnes Brothers, we’re serious about performance, luxury, and sustainability—and we believe with a thorough approach to R&D, customers can and should have all three.

We know it’s cliché, but “this ain’t our first rodeo.” The Barnes Brothers have decades of experience in both technology (software) and beauty industries. We've built several global brands from scratch, launched literally hundreds of award-winning products, all while serving millions of customers in both the software and beauty industries. 

In particular, with our prior beauty brand experience, the Barnes Brothers brought numerous best-in-class products to market serving millions of customers through 10,000+ “doors” including Ulta, Sephora, Nordstrom, Kohl’s, QVC, and many other big box retailers—not to mention thousands of specialty independent retailers. 

With our new Barnes Brothers brand, we’re embarking on an entirely different mission whereby we can have a direct relationship with the customer, improve our products more rapidly, more effectively, and less expensively, than with the traditional (and archaic) business model that relies on slow and stale large scale mass distribution.

We believe that our expertise, passion and refined processes will be ultimately proven by the effectiveness of our products. We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible experience, and we believe that our products and customer service are a reflection of our refined efforts and brand values.

We are committed to giving back to the community. We support a number of environmental causes, including ocean conservation, whale trust, beach cleanups and more and are actively exploring participation in organizations to expand our ability to contribute to natural, ecological, and other worthy causes.

We also will of course donate a portion of profits, sometimes actual products when appropriate, to various national and regional causes we believe in.

The brothers and their families have deep connections with nature from lives lived in nature both in the Pacific Northwest and in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. We believe that it is important to give back to the community, do our small part in protecting the planet, and remain vigilant in our commitment to making a positive impact on our world.
