We think beauty has become too complicated. Your average beauty routine requires too many products, takes too much time, creates too much waste and costs too much money. At Nucifera, all of our products are created with the idea of simplicity. That’s why every one of our products is vegan, multi-purpose and unisex. Simple offerings made with simple ingredients made for a simple life.

Despite leading a healthy lifestyle, I started experiencing dry skin conditions in my mid 20s. I tried everything to fix it - including spending a small fortune only to be diagnosed with psoriasis and handed a bunch of prescriptions to treat it. Intuitively, I knew this wasn’t right for me. I also knew all of my chef experience and knowledge about plants and diet must come in somewhere. That’s when I began experimenting with plant-based skin ‘recipes’ and found so much magic in their powers!

We’ve always believed that mother nature provides us all that we need, and that plant-based ingredients make the most sense when it comes to the health of people, animals and the planet. Animal derived ingredients are currently on an unsustainable path. They are profoundly more damaging to the environment and are often accompanied by questionable practices. At Nucifera, we uphold the highest standards when it comes to the ethical treatment of animals and the planet. We are proud to be a Leaping Bunny certified brand.

When we set out to create Nucifera, one of our initial discoveries (via coconut oil) was the versatility and adaptability of plant-based ingredients. This was a magical moment for us. The skincare industry is overpopulated with single-use products that can be costly and wasteful. We loved the idea that one product could accomplish the same as a beauty cabinet full of them.

We think there’s a huge vacancy of skincare products that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With that in mind, we’ve included the idea of ‘multi-sex’ within the context of ‘multi-purpose’. All of our skincare products are lightly scented with essential oils and can be enjoyed by anyone of any sex, any age, any color, and so on!

Not everybody is gluten sensitive but reducing (or eliminating) gluten has become more and more a priority for health conscious individuals. Your skin will absorb whatever you put on it into your body and our goal is to make clean products that everyone can enjoy - so we’ve chosen to make sure all of our products are gluten free.

Essential oils (if not diluted properly) can be irritating and there’s a ton of conflicting info about whether or not one should use them during pregnancy. That said, I created Nucifera while pregnant, so our essential oil blend is very mild. (I used The Balm as my belly butter the entire time)! We always prefer products that are mild, clean and safe for sensitive skin - whether you’re pregnant or not. We also recommend consulting your physician about the products you’re using for more advice.*

We always recommend that you read your labels! And while our products are dermatologist tested, safe for all skin types, and contain the cleanest ingredients possible, there is no telling how one’s skin may respond.All that said, we always suggest to patch test on a small area of skin first.If any irritation or redness occurs than discontinue use. If irritation persists, please consult your physician.*

The Balm is a blend of kokum butter, mango butter, coconut oil, and the liquid oils of avocado, borage and moringa. This ‘recipe’ makes for our special texture and nourishing benefits. It also has a melting point of approximately 110 degrees (so it melts appropriately to the touch). Unfortunately sitting on your doorstep in the hot sun can get much hotter than that and so... we might melt! The solution is very simple. Refrigerate and it will set right back up. You can then store again at room temp. Short lengths of heat like this won't do any harm. Just don't leave an open jar boiling in the hot sun all day!

Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns or exchanges due to hygiene reasons. Our products contain the highest quality ingredients and are made in a sterile environment in small batches to ensure quality control. Once they leave our hands, we have no way of knowing how they may have been compromised.

We strive to use as little plastic as possible. Our boxes are made from 100% paper and are printed with plant-based inks. Most all of our products come in glass jars and bottles with metal closures. We do have two products that come with fine mist sprayers and pumps made from polypropylene(PP). Although PP is becoming more and more accepted by recycling centers, this is on the top of our list to address and we are constantly searching for better solutions for these.

We use unprinted cardboard boxes, kraft paper packing and paper tape. We also reuse shipping boxes and other materials whenever possible. In other words, no plastic.
