Nunah's Story

From Pop-up Stalls to becoming an Online Store

The journey of venturing into an online store was exciting. Sahithya has been intrigued by the organic space, experimenting with and developing small batches of skincare from the confines of her kitchen. Nunah was born from this desire to create effective skincare that’s ethically innovative, accessible and affordable.

What made you to start Nunah ?

What made me to start nunah : Exactly 1.5year ago I resigned from my role at IBM. As much as i loved my time there, my decision came down to this: I was way too deep into my comfort zone. Life was just too easy. My role was no longer challenging me either & I realised my salary is a drug they give me to forget my dreams. I figured I needed a change in scenery and some time off to shake things up a bit. So I did what I thought was right. I quit. I said i was done. My heart was itching to finally try and start something of my own. Something meaningful, impactful. I wanted to build things and test out my ideas. To learn ! And even fail ( if I absolutely must) in the process of doing so. I just wanted to start, and stop talking about starting one day. And I knew that if there's any right time to experiment in life, it's now, in the early years of my twenties. I always had a great interest towards natural skincare . After facing so much failures in R&D , I started nunah . Even now I do face it before coming up with an successful formulations. After starting nunah I realised personally that working hard for something we don't care is called stress ,But working hard for something we love is called Passion. The work is never the problem. But what you're working for is!! Now Iam willing to work 16 hrs a day on my own project at nunah rather than working for 8 hrs for someone else's.

What made you kick start a career in skin care products?

I was just about to purchase few organic products, when i noticed something that suprised me I looked at the back of the pack and noticed that most of the ingredients were refined versions of Raw materials found in the manufacturing of petroleum products. I handed the product back to the sales person and all i could think of irony of the situation. The front of the label was promising 'Natural and Organic', while the label behind was whispering Parabens, Mineral Oils, Synthetic colours and more. From that movement onwards, I realised that no one had questioned what organic really means. And even though every second brand claimed to be organic, no one really was. I asked myself many tough questions from that day on. I questioned organic ingredients, their sourcing, organic product formulation and efficacy, However, the most important questions i asked was - Why want we do things differently ? This is how it started.

In India, there are many different skin types. How does Nunah succeeds by trying to find a product for everyone’s needs ?

As we all know, skin varies from person to person. It is important to understand your own skin type and the climate in which you live so that a proper regime can be formulated for it- this will help with any concerns or worries about how an ingredient might effect your particular complexion! Nunah takes strict measures before adding anything new into our formulation process by testing each individual ingredient on human trials first just as some companies do during safety assessments; additionally making sure there are no known allergies among various cultures who may use them (Indian climatic conditions come immediately to mind).

Melding Modern Alchemy & Romance

The process of creating my blends is both modern and romantic. I take pride in the fact that each ingredient has been carefully selected with your skin's well-being at heart, giving you a product as close to nature as possible without actually being natural!

We can take care of our planet.

Nuah's formulas are mostly vegan and organic, with the option to select recyclable packaging. I like taking my time when creating Nunah’s blends: each ingredient is methodically extracted for its healing properties before being secured in your skin through chemistry melding modern advances together - romance at it finest!
