She has her <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/living\/articles\/2983428\/beis-warehouse-sale\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:travel fashion company, B\u00c9IS;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">travel fashion company, B\u00c9IS<\/a>, the tequila brand, Onda, and the production company, Amore &amp; Vita Inc; and now, she\u2019s released another brand, but this is, by far, her most controversial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It all started with a post that read, \u201cSomething gentle, something new \u2014 launching tomorrow. @rini.\u201d And with the photo, we see a child with a disposable sheet mask on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More from SheKnows<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The next post explained it a bit more. Mitchell shared more about what Rini is on Instagram. She shared the photos with the caption reading, \u201cSo excited (and honestly, so relieved) that I can finally talk about rini. This has been three years in the making, inspired by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/shay-mitchell-says-her-2-181723955.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:my girls;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">my girls<\/a>, their curiosity, and all the little moments that made me realize how early it starts. From birthday parties and face paint to wanting to do \u2018what mommy does\u2019 with her face masks\u2026 it was only a matter of time. Rini isn\u2019t about beauty it\u2019s about self-care. About teaching our kids that taking care of themselves can be fun, gentle, and safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She added, \u201cOur first product, the aloe vera recovery mask, actually came from a spring break moment in Mexico when <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/shay-mitchell-super-rare-photos-210203983.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:one of the girls;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">one of the girls<\/a> got too much sun and needed some extra TLC. I wanted something that worked, but was still clean enough for my kids and now it\u2019s finally here. Kids are naturally curious and instead of ignoring that, we can embrace it. With safe, gentle products parents can trust, and sweet moments that bring us closer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, here\u2019s the thing, children are naturally curious and do want to emulate what their parents do; but the internet is furious over a children\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/shay-mitchells-58-step-beauty-194117622.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:skincare;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">skincare <\/a>line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">(For reference, the <em>Possession of Hannah Grace<\/em> star and longtime partner Matte Babel have two <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/shay-mitchell-just-posted-touching-155550278.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:daughters;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">daughters <\/a>named Atlas Noa, born in Oct. 2019, and Romaine \u201cRoma,\u201d born in May 2022.)<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Shay Mitchell at the Louis Vuitton fashion show as part of Spring\/Summer 2026 Paris Fashion Week held at The Louvre on September 30, 2025 in Paris, France.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, as we said, the internet is fuming. Many are calling this \u201cdystopian\u201d and \u201ctone deaf,\u201d specifically saying things like \u201cThis is so tone deaf for so many reasons\u201d and \u201cI struggle to find the right words to articulate how disappointing and dystopian this is \ud83d\udc94.\u201d And that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While many believe this is rather \u201ctone-deaf,\u201d we wanna go in a bit further. Is there an age too young to start skincare? Technically, yes. While sunscreen is good for any and all ages, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/health.choc.org\/preteens-and-skincare-what-parents-should-know\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:experts;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">experts <\/a>recommend you start kids on more subtle skincare products (like maybe a cleanser or moisturizer) when they\u2019re in their pre-teens, meaning the ages of 10-12.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">So already, the brand is targeted at such a young audience, way too young for the recommended age. (Rini is for ages 3+.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But the controversy doesn\u2019t stop there. Many experts and skincare lovers alike don\u2019t believe in sheet masks, specifically due to their single-use nature, that is, to put it bluntly, horrible for the environment. They are the antithesis of sustainable, and an environmental activist and founder of Package Free Shop, Lauren Singer, even told <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/slideshow\/sheet-masks-sustainable-beauty\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Vogue;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Vogue <\/a>back in 2019 that \u201cSheet masks are trash. They\u2019re unnecessary, they\u2019re superfluous. They come wrapped in plastic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><em>You might be surprised at whose kids have <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/celebrity-kids-famous-godparents-143343914.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:famous celebrity godparents;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">famous celebrity godparents<\/a>!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/celebrity-kids-famous-godparents-143343914.html\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/0KViF57booH77XT9I2JyNA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTcyMDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/sheknows_79\/8d00f0db7bd44a11e879ae6a921361c4\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Best of SheKnows<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sign up for <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cloud.email.sheknows.com\/signup\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SheKnows' Newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">SheKnows&#8217; Newsletter<\/a>.
