Multi-Purpose Vegan Skincare
Why not have only a few products that you know and love and that can be used in multiple ways? Our plant based multi purpose skin care products can be used from head to toe – which means less stuff, less waste, and less money down the drain.

All You Need
Most beauty routines lean heavily on single-use products. Why do we need one product for our eyes, one for our lips, one for our cheeks, and so on? We think this concept can be complicated and wasteful.
Our skincare line is based on the notion of simplicity. Everything we make is designed with the intention to be one of the only products you’ll need. That’s why our products are vegan, multi-purpose and unisex.
Simple offerings made with simple ingredients that enable you to live more simply.
Love Our Labels
We strive to make the best natural skin care products for all. This means products that are people friendly, animal friendly and earth friendly.
It’s not enough to make the best paraben free skin care products or the best cruelty free skin care products or the best eco friendly skin care products. The best products should be all of the above.
From ingredients to packaging we obsess over sourcing. We use no animal derived ingredients, no synthetics, and the least amount of plastic possible. All of our plant based skin care products contain the highest quality ingredients selected to nourish your body's natural well-being.

Despite being healthy, I started experiencing dry skin conditions in my 20s. I tried everything to remedy it – including spending a fortune only to be diagnosed with psoriasis and handed a prescription to treat it.
Intuitively, I knew this was the wrong approach for me. I also knew all of my knowledge about plants and diet had to come in somewhere – so I began hacking my own health and skin care routines.
At that time, the organic skin care brands list was much smaller than it is now. I researched everything from well-known brands to professional skin care products for estheticians. Even the best vegan face moisturizer I could find didn’t cut it. There was very little on the market that felt nice, smelled nice and most importantly, worked.
I also noticed that so many beneficial plant based ingredients were either underused or non-existent. That’s when I began experimenting, and I found so much magic in their healing powers. My first discovery was when I was writing my book Coconut Kitchen. I started using coconut oil as body lotion. Soon I was using it on my face, hair, elbows – all over.
This prompted me to experiment with other natural ingredients and the differences they made were far beyond what I expected. I noticed the most profound changes on my face. I was truly getting the glow and was able to witness first hand how versatile and powerful they were.
When I developed the formula for The Balm – I first gave it to friends and family. Their reactions were genuinely positive and enthusiastic. In fact, some of the feedback I received gave me the motivation I needed to start Nucifera.
Today everything we make is in small batches. I source every ingredient and am meticulous about quality. So many plant based skincare brands start with a broad range of products – each made for just one thing. We are different. We started with just one product made for many things – Beauty Simply!
If you wish your favorite coconut oil body butter did more then try The Balm. Kokum Butter, Mango Butter, Coconut Oil, Borage Oil, Moringa Oil and more make for what we think is the best vegan moisturizer out there. I use it everywhere, and in the spirit of simplicity, it is one of the only products you will need.

Know Your Labels
Here's some commonly asked questions and answers to help you choose what's right for you.

What is Paraben Free?
Parabens are synthetic chemicals widely used as preservatives to prolong shelf life. They are also necessary if you have water as an ingredient. This is why the best paraben free body lotion isn’t a lotion at all. The best paraben free moisturizer for dry skin is a balm applied to damp skin. This method mixes the oil and water directly on your skin instead of inside the bottle. The Balm is paraben free and best when applied right after bathing.

What is Cruelty Free?
A cruelty free face moisturizer simply means the product and its ingredients weren’t tested on animals. Some companies don’t conduct animal testing unless required by law. This means they still do animal testing if they sell in countries like China. We think the best cruelty free moisturizer is one that is certified by an accredited cruelty free program. Nucifera is Leaping Bunny certified and we do not sell in countries like China.

What is Gluten Free?
Most people don’t realize that gluten makes its way into many products outside of food. Gluten free cosmetics are products that are free of the glue-like proteins found in most grains. If you are sensitive to gluten you might want to reduce your exposure by seeking gluten free skin care products as your body will absorb 60% of what you put on it. All Nucifera products are free of gluten.

What is Vegan?
Vegan beauty is one of the fastest growing markets today. Vegan skin care products are plant based and use no animal derived ingredients. Read your labels closely as not all products made with plant based ingredients are vegan. You might see a product advertising itself as plant based but it could also contain beeswax, lanolin, keratin and more. The Balm is 100% vegan and we think it’s one of the best vegan skincare products out there.

What is Pregnancy Safe?
The information on pregnancy skin care products is confusing – especially when it comes to essential oils. While highly concentrated amounts of them can be irritating, many of the best organic skin care products contain them. That said, we prefer products that are mild, clean and safe for sensitive skin. I created Nucifera while pregnant, so our essential oil dilution is very mild. In fact, I used The Balm as my belly butter the entire time!

What is Baby Safe?
The best baby skin care products are ones that contain ingredients that are mild, clean and safe for sensitive skin. We think we're one of the best organic baby skin care products out there and have received many testimonials praising The Balm for diaper rash and other baby skin issues. Nucifera is dermatologist tested but every child is different. Some might be sensitive to one of our ingredients so please patch test on a small area first.
