✦ Our Story ✦
Built from
real skin,
real struggle.
Nola Skinsentials started in 2017 because one woman got tired of being a guinea pig — and decided to become the solution instead.
Where it started
I was tired of
being the experiment.
I struggled with acne prone skin for years. Dermatologist after dermatologist, product after product — I felt like a guinea pig. Nothing was made for skin like mine, and nobody seemed to actually care about getting to the root of the problem. They just kept throwing prescriptions at me and sending me on my way.
"I couldn't find a brand that was actually built for me. So in 2017, I decided to build it myself."
— Jane, FounderWhat started as me formulating products in my own space out of pure frustration turned into something so much bigger than I ever expected. Nola Skinsentials was born from a real need — and that's exactly why it works.
How we do it
Made by hand.
On purpose.
Every single Nola product is handmade in our skin studio in small batches. That's not just a talking point — it's a deliberate choice. Small batches mean fresher formulas, tighter quality control, and products that are made with actual intention — not just churned out on an assembly line.
We keep our line intentional too. If we don't love it, it doesn't make the shop. Simple as that. You'll never find filler products here just to pad out a catalogue — everything we carry is something we genuinely stand behind.
And beyond the products — I'm currently in nursing school, working toward my degree so I can serve our community on an even deeper level. Both are about actually understanding what your skin needs and treating it with the respect it deserves.
What we stand for
Clean skin.
Clean products.
Nola Glow.
Our mission has never changed — create inclusive, personalized skincare for all skin tones, types and concerns. Vegan. Cruelty-free. Made with ingredients that actually do something. No fluff, no fillers, no compromises.

alone.
