FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Redmond, OR – Rhino Skin Solutions, a leader in skincare products tailored for athletes and active individuals, proudly announces the completion of its on-site solar power installation. This makes Rhino the first cosmetic company in the United States to power its manufacturing entirely by solar energy. This bold move reinforces Rhino’s commitment to sustainability, environmental responsibility, and community impact.
In a climbing industry increasingly focused on responsible business practices, Rhino Skin Solutions is setting a new benchmark. As more climbing gyms and retailers assess the environmental impact of the products they stock, Rhino’s solar-powered manufacturing is a differentiator that adds real value on the shelf.
As part of Rhino’s broader mission to minimize its carbon footprint and preserve the environment for future generations, the company’s shift to 100% renewable energy production marks a major milestone. With its headquarters and manufacturing facility based in Redmond, Oregon, Rhino now completes its sustainability loop: clean products, clean energy, and clean impact.
The solar power system generates 12,000 kWh of clean energy annually, saving approximately 11.04 tonnes of carbon emissions each year. That’s the equivalent of taking two cars off the road for a full year or preserving 13 acres of U.S. forests.
“Our community is everything to us, and our environment is central to the active lifestyles we support. By transitioning to solar energy, we’re ensuring that we walk the talk on sustainability,” said Justin Brown, Founder and CEO of Rhino Skin Solutions. “We want to inspire others, both in our industry and beyond, to embrace cleaner, greener solutions.”
Rhino has already seen increased interest from retailers and gyms prioritizing eco-aligned partners. “Sustainability isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s smart business,” Brown added. “We’re hearing from stockists who want cleaner, local, and solar-powered brands on their shelves.”
Commitment to the Environment
This solar-powered initiative builds on a long-standing environmental ethic at Rhino. All Rhino products, including healing balms, soaps, and skin treatments, are made with ethically sourced ingredients. Now, the energy behind their production is just as clean, closing the loop on responsible manufacturing.
Leading by Example
Rhino’s transition to solar sets a powerful precedent for other small and mid-sized companies in the personal care and climbing industries. While major corporations often have the resources for sustainability efforts, Rhino proves that innovation and environmental consciousness are attainable at any scale.
Community Impact
Rooted in the rock climbing, water sports, and broader outdoor communities, Rhino Skin Solutions’ switch to solar isn’t just a win for the environment—it’s a win for Redmond. By reducing reliance on non-renewable energy, Rhino is cutting local environmental impact and contributing to a cleaner, healthier future.
Spreading the Message
Rhino is passionate about spreading awareness and motivating others to take tangible steps toward sustainability. Through partnerships with media, influencers, and athletes, the brand is amplifying this milestone across the beauty, sports, and outdoor sectors.
