Turning to nature to find answers, Sara, founder/creator of The Nude Alchemist, was inspired by the aromatherapy and herbalism world to provide remedies for her family.
It all started in 2016 when Sara's firstborn was a few months old, and coffee groups were attended regularly to keep sane. Typical childhood ailments began appearing and discussed, without any great solutions on the current market, so the tinkering and creating began. It soon exploded into an entire range of well-being products.
These days, it is a family-run business in Christchurch, New Zealand, with husband Karl giving up his day job after chronic illness hit to run The Nude Alchemist's day-to-day operations, including onsite manufacturing.
Sara is at the helm behind the scenes whilst she juggles family life.
The entire Nude Alchemist range is aromatherapist-formulated with dilution and safety considered, bringing you ready-to-use products you can be confident in using on your loved ones.
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
The. Nude. Alchemist. Despite the rumours, we are not nude (well, only occasionally). The brand is nude. Transparent. No preservatives, fillers, no synthetics – only natural ingredients. No greenwashing.
Alchemist. Alchemy is the ancient practice of transformation, the precursor to chemistry. Alchemy is the power to change or change things in a way which is seemingly a magical process. The symbol that represents the brand is derived from the philosophical symbol Sulphur, one of the three elements believed to exist within alchemy, a harmony of air and fire elements. Within the human body, Sulphur equates to the soul or life force. Looking at this principle within plants, this is reflected as essential oils.
Essential oils are a strong focal point in most of the range as they harness the healing properties of nature that make the products what they are.
All our products are made with all-natural botanical ingredients, and certified organic where possible, sourcing locally and right across the globe to maintain quality.
Being organic means that the raw plants our ingredients are extracted from have not been grown with the use of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, chemical fertilizers, or growth enhancers. It also means that the plants have not been genetically modified.
Using chemicals on crops damages the nutrient profile of the soil by stripping essential minerals out of it. Nutrients are only available in the plants if they are present in the soil.
When YOU choose organic products, you are helping the earth that ultimately feeds us.
When YOU choose The Nude Alchemist, you are choosing an eco-conscious small business that cares for the planet.
