من نحن
EssencesByNadya is a 9-time award-winning natural skincare brand in the UK, creating handmade botanical oils for the face, hair, scalp and body. Founded by Nadya in 2021, our vegan and cruelty-free collection is designed to nourish dry, sensitive-feeling skin, dullness and fragile-feeling hair through simple, comforting self-care rituals.
Handmade Botanical Care for Real Skin and Hair Concerns
Our journey began with a simple need: to create a gentle, nourishing facial oil that made daily skincare feel both effective and luxurious. After struggling to find products that suited my own sensitive-feeling skin, I began exploring botanical ingredients and traditional beauty rituals to create something more personal.
That first formula became our bestselling Luxury Facial Oil and the beginning of EssencesByNadya. Each product is handmade in small batches in the UK using thoughtfully selected botanical ingredients, including jojoba oil, lavender, frankincense, rose geranium and jasmine. Our formulas are created to nourish, soften and support naturally radiant-looking skin.
Today, our collection includes our award-winning Luxury Facial Oil, nourishing Hair & Scalp Oil, comforting Body Oil and softening Rose Lip Balm. Each formula has been created around everyday concerns, including dryness, dullness, sensitive-feeling skin, a dry scalp and hair that feels fragile.
Since launching in 2021, EssencesByNadya has grown into a 9-time award-winning British beauty and wellbeing brand. We remain proudly independent, woman-owned, vegan and cruelty-free, with every product carefully handmade in the UK.

Nadya Ali
Hello, I’m Nadya, the founder of EssencesByNadya—a 9-time award-winning, woman-owned natural skincare brand founded in the UK.
I created EssencesByNadya in 2021 after struggling to find skincare that gave my own sensitive-feeling skin the gentle nourishment, comfort and radiance I was looking for. I wanted something simple, luxurious and meaningful: a botanical formula that could become a calming part of everyday life.
Inspired by traditional beauty rituals and a passion for botanical ingredients, I began developing my own facial oil. That first creation became our bestselling, multi-award-winning Luxury Facial Oil, featuring our signature Botanical Radiance Blend of jojoba oil, lavender, frankincense, rose geranium and jasmine.
What began as my personal skincare journey has grown into a handmade collection of facial, hair, scalp and body oils, alongside our nourishing Rose Lip Balm. Every product is handmade in small batches in the UK, vegan and cruelty-free, with ingredients thoughtfully selected to support dry, sensitive-feeling skin, dullness and healthier-looking hair.
As a beauty founder and mother, I understand how easily we can place our own wellbeing at the bottom of the list. I created EssencesByNadya to make self-care feel accessible, comforting and special—even on the busiest days.
I am incredibly proud that EssencesByNadya has grown into a 9-time award-winning British beauty and wellbeing brand, recognised across natural beauty, vegan beauty, sensitive skincare and independent business awards. Our most recent recognition includes the Corporate LiveWire Innovation and Excellence Award for Best Skincare Brand of the Year 2026, marking another beautiful milestone in our journey.
Every order, customer review and message remains deeply personal to me. Thank you for supporting an independent British skincare brand and allowing EssencesByNadya to become part of your self-care ritual.
Nourishing skin. Nurturing wellbeing. Naturally.
With love and gratitude,
Nadya x
