Nsunku is a combination of two words from the Akan language: Nsu meaning water and Nku meaning butter or cream. Knowing our skin requires the components of these two elements, the lipids of the butter and the hydration provided by water to keep it healthy and strong, our formulation is hyper-focused on ensuring high-quality emollients and humectants are incorporated in our products. We believe that beautiful, healthy skin starts with nature. As the creator of nsunku skin and someone who has struggled with dry, dehydrated skin, I am dedicated to creating a skincare product with dry blemished skin in mind, powered by the most effective emollients, humectants and botanicals extracts. 

Our products are formulated to exclude synthetic fragrances, mineral oils, parabens, sulphates or phthalates. With the exclusion of parabens, our natural formula will have a shorter life span compared to products with parabens which is why our products come in smaller quantities than your popular 200ml quantities.  However, our products are packed with quickly absorbing and incredibly moisturising ingredients so a little usually goes a long way! 

We are a small business focused on developing and sampling all our products in-house before it is produced by an independent UK manufacturer in small batches. We aim to keep not just your skin clear but your conscious too so we make sure our formulations are also vegan and cruelty free!

We are just starting out but as hydration and moisture enthusiasts keen on eliminating dry skin we are very passionate about products and products that really does improve your skin. We've got more wonderful creations in the works so watch this space!
