Hi. Which of the following two sentences is correct grammar? I am trying to choose between "Renown" or "Renowned". 1)Renown as a natural skin moisturizer and body lotion, or 2) "Renowned" as a natural skin moisturizer and body lotion.

@stretch3,
"Renown" is a noun. "Renowned" is an adjective.

@stretch3,
"Renowned", unless you are suggesting a brand name. In that case, "RENOWN" seems to catch the ear somewhat, wouldn't you say?
BTW, neither of those are correct sentences, if that is important.

@stretch3,
If it's a product name, as it sounds, they can spell it any way they want.

@roger,
I don't agree at all that it sounds as though it's a product name. It's actually a very familiar construct in English, and "renowned" is the form he wants.
