Unilever to close REN skincare business

Unilever announced on 1 May 2025 that it will close its REN business in the UK. While there was no exact date for the final closure, the company will cease trading by Q3 2025.

REN is the company’s clean skincare brand launched in 2000.

Unilever said it is unable to sustain REN’s success in the long term due to internal factors as well as market challenges.  In a press release, Unilever said: We are proud of the REN team for all they have accomplished during 25 years of business, putting clean skincare on the agenda and creating positive change for both people and planet and thank them as they continue to support us through this closure.
