Our story →

If your skin changes with your sleep, your stress, and your cycle, you're not imagining it.

Most skincare answers that with more: more products, stronger actives, longer routines. Your skin barrier usually needs the opposite. Here's what we do instead.

Fewer steps, done consistently

Three products you'll actually use morning and night beat twelve you rotate through and abandon. Consistency is what lets you see what your skin responds to.

Barrier first, always

Clean without stripping, replenish moisture, then seal it in with grass-fed tallow and plant butters. A supported barrier looks calmer, feels softer, and holds up to the week you're actually having.

Every ingredient has a reason

No parabens, sulfates, or synthetic fragrance. Three cypress botanicals, bakuchiol, shea, cocoa, and tallow, each there to do one job well, and nothing else.

The OG Routine

This has been so healing for my skin. I use all 3 products on a daily basis and have seen my skin transform. It's hydrated, soft, and has a glow that it hasn't had in years. I love that the products are authentically and transparently cleans as well. Grateful to have found CR.

Christy
The OG Routine

Initially, I started with just the OG tallow, but after learning the three-step process that Cypress renewal put together, I got the bundle and very glad that I did because it really does help to cleanse, restore, and seal for improved skin health.

The people behind Cypress

Skincare born in a season of being worn down

Cypress Renewal started in Franklin, Tennessee, with a wife, a doctor, and a verse about a tree. It's still a family company, and every order is handled by people who use these products on their own faces.

Lauren Wheeler, founder of Cypress Renewal

Lauren Wheeler

Founder · Formulation & Creative

Lauren started Cypress Renewal during a stretch of physical and spiritual depletion, when she was simplifying everything she put on and in her body and couldn't find skincare that was both clean enough and effective enough to keep using.

"Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress." — Isaiah 55:13

That verse became the name, and the cypress tree became the thread: resilience, quiet strength, restoration. Working with a small formulating lab in Nashville, she built the three-step routine around Blue Cypress and a short list of ingredients that each earn their place.

Dr. Austin Lake

Dr. Austin Lake

Co-owner · Functional Medicine

Austin spends his days helping women connect the dots between hormones, thyroid, gut, sleep, and stress. He joined Cypress because he kept seeing the same thing in clinic: women chasing clearer skin with products and routines that worked against the rest of their health.

His role here is the filter. If an ingredient or a step can't justify itself, it doesn't make it into the bottle.

What we believe

Caring for your body is stewardship, not vanity. Your skin is part of a bigger picture, and a routine should support that picture rather than fight it. Three purposeful steps, ingredients with a reason, and a company that would rather earn your trust than win an argument.

A few things people ask before their first order.

Is this right for my skin type?

The routine is built around cleansing gently, hydrating, and supporting the skin barrier, which every skin type needs. Dry, tight, or reactive skin tends to love the full three steps. Oily or combination skin usually uses a smaller amount of the tallow, or saves it for nighttime. Take the 60-second quiz above if you'd like a specific starting point.

What's actually in it?

Grass-fed tallow, shea and cocoa butter, bakuchiol, vitamin E, and three cypress botanicals, plus a short list of plant oils. No parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrance, or fillers. Full ingredient lists are on every product page.

Can I use it while pregnant or nursing?

Our formulas avoid retinoids and the ingredients most commonly flagged during pregnancy, and many customers use them throughout. We always recommend reviewing the ingredient list with your own provider.

How long until I see a difference?

Most women notice softer, more comfortable skin within the first week. Changes in texture and tone from bakuchiol and consistent barrier support typically show over 6 to 12 weeks of daily use.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Reply to your order email within 30 days and we'll make it right. We're a small family company; we'd rather earn a customer than win an argument.

When will it arrive?

Orders ship from Tennessee within a few business days, and most U.S. orders arrive within a week of ordering.
