Cleanse
A soft everyday cleanse that leaves skin feeling clean and comfortable.
Botanical skincare · Coming soon
Gentle botanical skincare inspired by the chinar tree, which only grows more beautiful with age.
The tree behind the name
That tree was old long before we were born, and it only grew more beautiful. It never fought the seasons. It moved with them, shedding old bark to reveal smooth new layers underneath.
Not long ago, I looked up my old street and found the tree was gone. But what it taught me stayed: the most beautiful things aren't the ones that never change. They're the ones that grow well. Chinar is my way of carrying that shade forward.
— Founder, Chinar
Our approach
We make skincare the way the chinar grows: gentle, steady, and in step with the seasons. Nothing harsh, nothing rushed, made to keep up with you for years.
A gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol at the heart of the routine.
Built around plants, with textures that feel soft and comfortable every day.
No twelve-step shelf. A short routine that's easy to keep for decades.

The season clock
We never needed a calendar under the chinar. Its leaves told us the season. Your routine can follow the same rhythm.
Barrier care
Bare branches, peeling bark. Richer moisture, fewer steps, more comfort.
Renewal
New buds on every branch. A good moment to start the serum.
Sun habits
The widest shade of the year. Antioxidants by day, and shade when you can find it.
Post-summer reset
Gold leaves, cooler air. Ease back into your full routine.
