The Rena Kan Institute, founded in 1976, is now one of the leading skin care and training establishments in Australia.

On arrrival in Australia from Europe, Renate Kanitz Birnbaum recognised that the beauty industry in Sydney was in its infant state. She identified an opportunity and decided to give it a go.

Decades of experience  in the industry has seen her working in Asia, South and North America, India and Europe. Renate has spent many years in Australia building her business which specialises in regeneration, problem skin care and home care advice.

By investigating this market on an ongoing basis, making annual visits to Europe and subscribing to worldwide professional magazines, Renate ensures that she always stays in touch with the industry.

Treatments and processes brought from Europe include a unique Facial Muscle Gymnastique (FMG), Collagen Sheet Infusion, Microdermabrasion, the latest state-of the-art laser technology and ultrasound technology, which Renate regards as an essential in Salons.

Every facial treatment at the Rena Kan Salon is based on a diagnosis to correct imbalances before addressing specific needs such as the client’s time of life or health issues.

“I cannot stress enough the importance of individual attention which involves targeted salon treatments supported by an at-home maintenance regime,” says Renate. “As our modern lifestyles and environments become more pressured, it is increasingly important for Australian men and women to take their personal skin care seriously,” she adds.

Renate has developed her range of salon products, The Rena Kan Selectables. The decision to develop a skin care line was triggered by both the challenge of effectively treating problem skin and the constant complaints heard from her clients about the high prices and climatic unsuitability of many imported cosmetics.

The Selectables are a totally original concept and are only sold by trained skin therapists, who assess the individual’s skin condition and then select the appropriate product or combination of products.

Renate loves what she does and when it comes to business, client satisfaction, safety and of course results are what matter. Her customers can always rely on her advice, and know that she performs a thorough job using the best products, and is always available to talk.

The RENA KAN SELECTABLES, a comprehensive classic range of skin care products, was launched in 1987 by Renate Kanitz-Birnbaum in association with a leading German biochemist. 

The products are regularly updated and are available for export

A variety of bulk products (tea tree, centella asiatica and collagen) are also available. Email  bulk@renakan.com.au to request price lists for bulk quantities.

The institute also wholesales freeze-dried collagen sheets of the highest quality, and collagen ampoules with convenient screw tops.
