ABOUT NOVEM

Novëm

Our story

It all begins when our founder, passionate about plants and well-being, rediscovers the traditional use of walnut oil to soothe sensitive skin prone to eczema. From this intuition was born Nucitherapy®, a unique approach to natural cosmetics that draws upon the richness of the walnut for its antioxidant, regenerating, and protective benefits.

The first natural cosmetics brand based on Grenoble walnuts

At Novëm, we believe that nature offers the best skincare. Inspired by the ancestral virtues of the walnut, our brand was born in the heart of the Alps, in the Grenoble region, with one ambition: to enhance your skin while promoting an overlooked local treasure –the Grenoble Walnut

Hydration and Suppleness:

Walnut oil-based cosmetic products are ideal for deep skin hydration. Rich in omega-3s, the oil strengthens the lipid barrier, preventing moisture loss, which keeps the skin supple and soft. Used regularly, it improves skin elasticity thanks to alpha-linolenic acid, a type of omega-3, while preventing dryness and irritation.

Reduction of Inflammation:

Nut-based cosmetics, rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, reduce skin inflammation. They protect the skin against oxidative damage, soothing conditions such as acne and rosacea. Walnut oil offers a soothing and restorative action, reducing redness and irritation.

Sun Damage Protection:

Skincare products enriched with walnut extract provide vitamin C, which protects against the effects of UV rays and stimulates collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity. They also help repair damaged cells and reduce dark spots, thereby preventing premature aging and improving skin tone.

Complexion Improvement and Radiance:

Nut-based skincare products, such as masks and exfoliants, are rich in B vitamins, particularly biotin (B7), which promotes smooth, radiant skin. Biotin supports fat and protein metabolism, preventing breakouts and flakiness. These products help achieve an even complexion and brighter skin through cell regeneration.
