MEET THE FOUNDER

Built from
long days outside.

Founded by Kelly Marsch, Rugged Refinement is a skincare brand based in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada.

Kelly still works full-time in civil and landscape construction. After trying a tallow-based skincare product his wife had, he noticed a difference in his skin compared to the basic lotions he'd been using.

That experience led him to research ingredients, test different formulations, and eventually create Rugged Refinement.

The flagship Whipped Tallow Balm is made for face, hands and body and keeps daily care simple—without a complicated routine.
