Renee Ordino
At a very young age, Renee had a passion for whipping up beauty potions by combining natural oils with other ingredients to make homemade cosmetics. She helped her mom, a consummate entrepreneur, launch new business ventures. That mix of entrepreneurial and experimental spirit propelled Renee to study chemistry in college and, ultimately, become a product developer of some of the most innovative cosmetic and personal care products for brands worldwide. Throughout her career as a cosmetic chemist, she emphasized the importance of nutrition and its relationship to healthy skin and also, mind and body. To cultivate this belief, Renee studied Ayurvedic nutrition and container gardening so she could grow her own herbs and vegetables in her city home. Her green thumb played a fundamental role in the birth of marlo when she turned her kitchen into a lab to create marlo’s exclusive ingredient, Super-Lycopene Hydrosol.
