How Sustainable Skincare Supports Your Wellness Journey
In 2025, wellness is no longer just about feeling good - it’s about doing good, too. From what we put on our skin to how our choices affect the environment, conscious living is at the heart of modern self-care. Sustainable skincare has shifted from a trend to a necessity, offering a meaningful way to support both personal wellbeing and the planet.
At Nuasan, we believe your wellness journey should enhance your health while respecting the world around you. That’s why sustainability is embedded in everything we do - from our ingredients to our packaging and overall purpose.
Nuasan's Beginnings
Nuasan’s commitment to sustainability and wellness stems directly from the story of our founder, Dara Scott.
A science lover and avid traveler, Dara spent over 20 years exploring the world, working on marine research projects with WHOI (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) and even piloting underwater robots across the Pacific. He is also a seasoned adventurer - cycling solo through Asia, hiking to the Everest Base Camp in Nepal, and taking time out by doing yoga in Fiji.
But with that active lifestyle came aches, pains, and skin issues, especially in harsh climates. On one long-haul flight home, after hours stuck in a stuffy plane, Dara had a lightbulb moment:
“I’d been all around the world and searched everywhere for natural, sustainable products that were specific to my needs, that of an active person. Products that could stop aching muscles after exercise and care for my body, ones that weren’t full of chemicals and would keep me feeling fresh all day. They just weren’t out there.”
Nuasan was born out of a deep desire to create high-performance body care for active people - without compromising on natural ingredients or sustainability. After four years of R&D, Nuasan launched in 2020. Today, it's trusted by thousands across Ireland and Europe who care about products that deliver while also doing good for the planet.
