About Us
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Nude Kiwi, we set out with a mission to bring naturally powerful, wellness-driven skincare to everyday rituals. Inspired by the natural beauty of New Zealand, we believe that what you put on your skin should be as pure, safe, and effective as nature intended. What began as a passion for honest, plant-based skincare has grown into a commitment to redefine clean beauty — crafting formulations that are not only free from compromise, but full of vibrant, skin-loving ingredients. Our journey continues as we push the boundaries of what clean, conscious skincare can be — creating products that are healthier, more sustainable, and made to nurture both people and the planet
Clean, Plant-powered skincare
At Nude Kiwi, we believe in the remarkable power of plants to transform your skin naturally. Our formulations go beyond clean — crafted without questionable ingredients and thoughtfully made from scratch. Every ingredient is carefully scrutinised, and every formula begins with a clinically proven natural active, designed by nature and backed by science to deliver real, visible results. Rooted in New Zealand’s rich botanicals and pure landscapes, our skincare brings you closer to the healthiest, most radiant version of your skin — your true "Before & Ever After”.
Strengthening Your Skin’s Natural Defences
Your skin is beautifully intelligent. Every day and night, it works tirelessly — shielding you from the elements, repairing itself, and creating the healthy glow we all seek. At the heart of this is your skin’s natural repair cycle: a built-in rhythm of renewal, resilience, and protection. But today’s world can challenge this balance. Pollution, sunlight, harsh climates, ageing, and the wrong skincare ingredients can weaken your skin’s barrier and slow its ability to renew itself. The signs — irritation, fine lines, blemishes, dullness — are your skin’s way of asking for extra care. At Nude Kiwi, we believe in working with your skin, not against it. Our plant-powered skincare is designed to support your moisture barrier, encourage natural repair, and keep your skin strong, radiant, and thriving — just as nature intended.
Gentle Yet Powerful Formulations
At Nude Kiwi, we believe that less is more — and nature knows best.
Our formulations carefully combine plant-powered actives, dermatological gold standards, and botanical soothers, creating a perfect balance of strength and gentleness for your skin.
Each product is thoughtfully layered with essential
elements:
- Clinically proven natural actives
- Trusted dermatological ingredients
- Calming botanical extracts
Working together, they target visible signs of damage while protecting and strengthening your skin’s natural resilience.
Our gentle yet effective approach means every Nude Kiwi product layers beautifully with others — creating a complete, harmonious routine that reveals lasting, radiant results.
Designed for All Skin Types
At Nude Kiwi, we believe that skincare should be gentle, effective, and accessible to everyone. Every formula is thoughtfully crafted and tested to be kind to all skin types — including sensitive skin — minimising irritation and supporting your skin’s natural balance. Our goal is simple: to create skincare that feels good, works beautifully, and can be trusted by even the most delicate skin.
Nude Kiwi Origins
Nude Kiwi began with a simple but powerful desire: to create skincare that’s honest, effective, and kind — both to our skin and to our planet. In 2018, founder Emily Fairhall, from Nelson, New Zealand, saw the growing problem of plastic waste and a lack of transparency in skincare. Driven by a wish to know exactly what she was putting on her skin — and to minimise the environmental impact of her daily rituals — Emily started creating early Nude Kiwi prototypes at home.
With a personal journey of repairing a damaged skin barrier and reclaiming her natural glow, Emily spent two years developing and refining formulas that blend New Zealand’s finest botanicals with cutting-edge clean actives. Nude Kiwi was proudly launched in November 2020.
Each product is crafted to ensure the highest quality and freshness, helping to simplify skincare routines while delivering real, visible results. Customers often report improvements in radiance, hydration, and skin texture — many noticing the difference in just a short time.
Today, Nude Kiwi has grown into a trusted name in clean skincare, proudly stocked in boutiques across New Zealand and Australia, and reaching customers around the world.
Rooted in nature, powered by science, and created with care — Nude Kiwi is here to support your skin’s healthiest, most radiant journey yet.
💚 "Thank you for supporting New Zealand made. We’re thrilled to share our journey and creations with you."
