Matt Ruggieri

Co-Founder & Head of Product Development, Onekind

Matt New Headshot

Matt Ruggieri is the co-founder and head of product development at Onekind, a clean skincare brand built for sensitive skin. Alongside his sister Madison, Matt has spent more than 15 years working in beauty product development — formulating, testing, and refining products across every major skincare category before founding Onekind with a single, clear objective: make high-performance skincare that people with sensitive skin can actually trust.

Background

Before Onekind, Matt accumulated 15+ years of hands-on experience in the beauty industry - spanning product formulation, ingredient sourcing, clinical testing protocols, and brand development. That depth of technical knowledge is the foundation every Onekind formula is built on.

Onekind products are the result of that experience applied to a personal problem: formulating effective skincare that doesn't compromise on safety. Every product in the Onekind line is dermatologist-tested, clinically allergy-tested, free of synthetic fragrance, and double-certified cruelty-free by both Leaping Bunny and PETA.

What Matt Writes About

Matt writes the Skin School blog with one goal: give people with sensitive skin accurate, no-fluff information about ingredients, formulation, and routines — the kind of information that usually lives in industry white papers and clinical studies, made readable and practical.

Topics include skin barrier science, ingredient education (what squalane actually does, how retinol works for sensitive skin, what "clean" really means in a formula), and honest product guidance — including comparisons between Onekind's own products to help readers find the right fit for their skin.

Onekind

Onekind is a Dallas-based clean skincare brand specializing in formulas for sensitive, dry, and reactive skin. The brand's full product line — including the Dream Cream Nighttime Moisturizer, Radical Repair® Retinol Reinvented Serum, Radical Repair® Barrier Balm, and Radical Repair® Nourishing Cream Cleanser — has earned over 8,400 five-star reviews from customers with sensitive skin.
