Beauty Notes │ Fresh Skin Care │Niki Newd®

FRESH OR CANNED FOOD?

We believe that the principles applied to healthy food and nutrition should also be applied to skincare. Just as we nourish our bodies with fresh, wholesome ingredients, our skin—the body's largest organ—deserves the same level of care and attention. The question we pose is simple: Would you rather consume fresh or canned food? The answer is evident, and it guides our philosophy in crafting skincare products that are as fresh and nutritious as a gourmet meal.


Edible Ingredients & Science

When thinking of preparing a wholesome gourmet dinner, what kind of ingredients would you choose? The best ones, of course. You'd opt for crisp vegetables, succulent fruits, premium cuts of meat, and fragrant herbs—all bursting with flavor and nutrients. The quality of your ingredients not only influences the taste of your meal but also its nutritional value.

And so do we! We approach skincare formulation with the same dedication to quality and purity. All of our ingredients are of the highest quality— natural, fresh, and pure . We focus on using food-grade (edible) quality ingredients over cosmetic-grade ingredients. In comparison, cosmetic-grade ingredients are no longer suitable for human nutrition and may contain additives or undergo processes that diminish their natural benefits.

Our commitment to edible ingredients is grounded in science. Studies have shown that natural, unprocessed ingredients retain higher levels of vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids—all vital for skin health. By using ingredients that are safe enough to eat, we ensure that your skin is absorbing only the best nutrients, free from harmful chemicals and preservatives.

When designing new products, we start from the thought of how to complement the nutritional ensemble of our skin—just like healthy food does for our bodies. We consider what the skin needs to thrive: hydration, protection from environmental stressors, and the ability to repair and regenerate. In addition to favoring food-grade options, we always choose ingredients that have been scientifically proven to support healthy skin .

For example, we might include cold-pressed oils rich in omega fatty acids to strengthen the skin's barrier or incorporate botanical extracts high in antioxidants to combat free radicals. Each ingredient is meticulously selected for its efficacy and synergy with the rest of the formula, ensuring that our products deliver tangible benefits.

No mass production or long storage times

In addition to creating ultimate formulas in terms of potent nutrient levels, we want to go one step further. That step is called freshness . If we love fresh, clean, and nutritious food, why would our skin deserve anything less?


The skincare industry is often dominated by mass-produced products that sit on shelves for months, even years, before reaching consumers. During this time, the potency of natural ingredients can diminish, and synthetic preservatives are added to extend shelf life—substances that can be harsh or irritating to the skin.


Since the very beginning, our products have been artisan-made in small, fresh batches. Mass production and long storage times are not our cup of tea. By producing freshly blended products, we protect and harness the natural effectiveness and potency of the nutrients. Vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants are at their peak levels, providing maximum benefits to your skin.


This way, we are able to offer you a uniquely fresh and effective skincare regimen. Our products deliver what they promise because their active ingredients are alive and potent—not degraded over time. It's akin to the difference between enjoying a freshly picked apple and one that's been stored for months—the freshness makes all the difference in taste and nutritional value.

Sustainability and Respect for Mother Earth

We proudly produce our products according to demand . This way, we cherish Mother Earth’s valuable resources and minimize waste and leftover products. By avoiding overproduction, we reduce our environmental footprint, conserving energy and raw materials. We believe that luxury skincare should not come at the expense of the planet.


Our ingredients are sourced responsibly, often from local farmers and suppliers who share our values. We prioritize organic and wildcrafted ingredients grown without harmful pesticides or fertilizers that can damage ecosystems. This not only ensures the purity of our products but also supports sustainable agricultural practices.

Final Thoughts

Your skin deserves the same level of care and nourishment that you provide to your body through wholesome food. By choosing skincare products made with fresh, edible ingredients and crafted with love, you invest in your health and beauty in the most natural way possible.
