THE PEOPLE BEHIND NAIROBI

We didn't start with a business plan. We started with our own skin.

We're Claire & Chadley. Nairobi Skincare grew out of the exact thing we couldn't find anywhere: Skincare that's honest, gentle and pure.

HOW IT STARTED

It began with a skin that reacted to everything.

Product after product. Money spent, and every time that same quiet thought: is it just me? A skin that flared at everything, and the feeling that nothing out there was honest, gentle and pure.

So we stopped waiting. We started reading the labels, the long lists of things you can't pronounce, the fillers, the harsh preservatives, the parfum sitting so high up it's almost the main ingredient.

"Why is this so hard? 
Why is there so much junk in products that are meant to be good for your skin?"

THE PRODUCT THAT STARTED IT ALL

So we made it ourselves.

Pure, honest, handmade in small batches with only ingredients that have a purpose. 

The Whipped Body Butter Classic is still the heart of the line. A light, buttery texture that melts in like oil. Deeply nourishing, fast-absorbing, no water, just pure ingredients that actually do something.

We didn't start as a brand. We started as a mission.

For years I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin. Dry patches, irritation, a skin that reacted to everything. 
I have eczema, and I'm allergic to a lot of skincare, especially the harsh preservatives I can't even pronounce.

"This is exactly the skincare I spent years looking for. If you've ever felt unsure about your skin, I get it. We made this for you."

For me it was hyperpigmentation and acne. Years of trying product after product, always let down. 
We've now helped thousands of people towards skin they feel good in again and a 4.8 on Trustpilot means the world to us.

"That thousands of people now trust us? That's exactly why we started. For everyone who, like us, is just looking for some peace for their skin."

EVERY INGREDIENT STARTS WITH AN HONEST STORY

Named for Africa,  sourced with care.

The name Nairobi Skincare is a tribute to Africa, the continent where the power behind our products begins. A large part of our ingredients are sourced directly and fairly from this rich continent. 

Our pure, unrefined shea butter comes from Ghana, as does the base of our African Black Soap. Our argan oil comes straight from Morocco. And these are just a few examples, many of the ingredients in our collection trace their roots back to Africa.

With every purchase, you support the local producers who grow, harvest and craft these ingredients by hand, so they can keep doing what they do best, independently and with pride.
