About Larewa

Free, research-based calculators for your skin, hair, and cosmetic routines.

Our Mission

We started Larewa to give people clear, practical skincare guidance without the sales pitch. Navigating thousands of products, conflicting social media trends, and expensive consultations makes finding a good routine frustrating.

We built a library of free tools based on published dermatology research and cosmetic chemistry. Whether you want to check your skin type, calculate SPF reapplication intervals, or analyze ingredient conflicts, Larewa gives you direct answers without pushing products.

Our Story

Larewa started in 2024 as a project between software developers and cosmetic chemists. We were frustrated by how much everyday skincare advice is tied to sponsored endorsements or locked behind paid apps.

We wanted a clean website where anyone could calculate sunscreen reapplication times, check an ingredient list, or build a simple routine without being directed to a $100 serum.

What began as a simple SPF calculator grew into a collection of more than 30 tools used by thousands of readers every month.

Our Science-Backed Methodology

Skincare is biology, not magic. Every tool on Larewa is built around established dermatological frameworks and peer-reviewed research:

Dermatological Standards

We structure our routines around clinically validated principles, using the Fitzpatrick Phototype scale for UV assessments and the Baumann system for oil and sensitivity analysis.

Ingredient Safety Analysis

Our ingredient guides reference published databases from the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) and European Commission scientific committees, focusing on concentration limits and proven safety.
