Incorporating a supplement into your daily routine is one of the best ways to boost your health and beauty. But knowing which ones to choose is a challenge.
Founded in 2017, The Nue Co aims to redefine the relationship with health by creating gentle and effective solutions using science and natural innovation, as well as practices from Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Its bestseller is Debloat Food, a gastro-protective formula to heal the gut and reduce bloating and heartburn.
Hydration
Hydration isn’t just a top beauty priority for your skin, it can also have a significant impact on your mental wellbeing. It has been shown to reduce momentary anxiety, increase performance (aerobic and anaerobic exercise) by lowering body temperature and heart rate, enhance cognitive function and even boost immune system defences.
The Nue Co’s newest fragrance launch Water Therapy, part of the brand’s Functional Fragrance collection, is all about the benefits of water. It’s the fourth in a line-up of scents that harness the power of nature to deliver real results. Forest Lungs was designed to replicate the mood-balancing experience of shinrin yoku (Japanese forest bathing) and sold out within a week of launch during lockdown, while Mind Energy used aromachology to calm and focus the mind.
But Water Therapy swaps terrestrial compounds like woody vetiver and eucalyptus for aquatic ones, including fresh clary sage, warm cardamom, and woody sandalwood, to evoke the quiet surrender you feel when standing by a calming lake or ocean. The result is a clean, refreshing scent that feels just as good as a refreshing glass of H20.
Brightening
Incorporating a brightening product into your routine is one of the best ways to gently remove dull skin cells and reveal fresh, even-toned new ones beneath. While scrubbing with physical exfoliators isn’t ideal because it can cause micro scratches, a chemical exfoliator like kojic acid, glycolic acid and plant-based retinol will do the trick without aggravating or irritating your skin.
It’s also important to remember that brightening is not about lightening your skin (think Khoudia Diop glow). Rather, it’s about revealing the healthy, covetable glow you already have within.
Designed to be a daily skincare supplement, The Nue Co’s Skin Filter will boost your complexion, improve sun damage, reduce pigmentation and breakouts while blurring impurities. It contains antioxidant-rich ingredients, such as Champagne grape seed and melon fruit concentrate, dermatology tested vitamin C, zinc and 50% of your daily dose of beta-carotene (which converts to Vitamin A). Developed to fortify skin’s lipid barrier with clinically studied PhytoCeramides, it is also formulated with hydrophilic hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and calming collagen to keep it plump and hydrated.
Anti-ageing
If you’re looking to up your wellness game, a supplement regimen may be the way to go. But with so many products and buzzwords on offer, it can be hard to know which ones will actually work.
The Nue Co, a wellness brand that creates scientific formulas for ingestible supplements, is expanding its line to include topical skin-care with a focus on anti-ageing. Launching its first brick-and-mortar store in New York and a relaunch of its e-commerce site, the brand is putting an emphasis on education and enabling a more open conversation around supplements, wellness and skin health with customers.
Skin Filter, the brand’s first topical, is a serum-in-pill with 11 ingredients that improve sun damage, pigmentation and blemishes. It’s clinically tested to increase luminosity and elasticity, as well as to control the overproduction of melanin that can cause dark spots. Think of it as your very own ingestible retinol. It also protects against blue light, which is shown to accelerate the ageing process of the skin by reducing its elasticity and causing redness and irritation.
Skin health
In a world where we’re constantly bombarded by ingestible supplements, it can be difficult to know what will actually work and what won’t. The Nue Co are working to upgrade our supplement game with a range of drops, powders and capsules that do exactly what they say they’re going to do – from supporting gut health and managing stress to promoting healthy hair, skin and nails.
A must-have for your skincare routine, this hydrating supplement uses the power of hyaluronic acid and a complex of humectants to help hydrate skin and give it that plump, youthful look. It’s also paraben-free, fragrance-free and vegan.
Designed to improve sun damage, hyperpigmentation, breakouts and blur impurities, this skincare supplement has been clinically tested in France and is suitable for all skin types. The patented blend of Vitamin C, Zinc, Champagne Grape Seed and Melon is proven to brighten skin tone, reducing the appearance of sun damage and plumping lines while clearing pigmentation and blurring pores.
