Established in 2018 by Bermudians, for Bermudians, Cassine brings a curated selection of natural beauty products to the island. The brand has a strong focus on education and action around the preservation of the island and oceans making sure our future stays bright.

Cassine is focused on bringing acclaimed beauty products to the island that are all-natural, organic, reef-safe and have the least impact on the environment. The meticulously curated product offering includes: Province Apothecary Skincare, Green People, rmsbeauty and Beauty by Earth.

The brand is determined to ban harmful sunscreen from the island and is hugely supportive of the Living Reefs Foundation, who work tirelessly on coral gardening in an effort to sustain, preserve and grow the reefs for the future and livelihood of Bermuda and its people.

So, why the need for reef-safe sunscreens, skincare and beauty products? Here are a few examples:

  • ●  15% of the world’s coral reefs are dying due to sunscreen and cosmetic chemicals
  • ●  Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean floor, yet they support 25% of all

    marine life

  • ●  25% of coral reefs worldwide are damaged beyond repair
  • ●  The reefs that surround Bermuda reduce storm impact by 75-85%
  • ●  Coral reefs have declined: 40% in the Great Barrier Reef – 85% in the Caribbean –

    99% in the Florida Keys

    Cassine customers can trust that all of the brands that are stocked have been meticulously reviewed, tried and tested by focus groups to ensure that every product stands up to its claims and delivers results.

    Know that every Cassine purchase made is one step closer to protecting our island, yourself and your family. There is no better feeling than that! Do your part and make the meaningful switch to clean beauty today.
