The Nuuv Essentials Story

Raaj Vijay Hansh - Founder

By Raaj Vijaj Hansh, Founder

Sometimes, purpose finds you in the most unexpected places.

As I travelled across different countries, I noticed something universal — people everywhere struggling with their skin. Some were battling dryness, some irritation, some acne. But what truly struck me was not just the problems, but the lack of safe, affordable, and inclusive solutions.

I saw people relying on harsh, chemical-laden products — simply because they didn’t have better options. Whether it was a tired businessman on a long-haul flight, a student on a dusty train ride, or a solo traveller at a bus stop, the struggle was the same: how do you take care of your skin when life is on the move?

Water isn’t always available. Time isn’t always on your side. And the products out there? Either too harsh, too expensive, or just not made for everyone.

As a male entrepreneur, I started asking deeper questions:

  • Why does skincare still feel like a luxury?
  • Why are most products marketed to one gender or skin type?
  • What about real people — male, female, trans — of all skin tones, of all professions, all walks of life?

Don’t we all deserve to feel clean, confident, and cared for?

That’s where Nuuv Essentials was born.

With one mission — to create clean, natural, waterless skincare for every body.

We innovated India’s first waterless facewash — a simple, travel-friendly solution that doesn’t need water, soap, or hassle. A few pumps, a gentle wipe, and you’re refreshed — anywhere, anytime. It’s skincare without boundaries. Made for trains, buses, flights, classrooms, and boardrooms.

But we didn’t stop there.

We ensured every formula is:

  • Free from sulfates, parabens, and cruelty
  • Infused with all-natural, plant-based ingredients
  • Designed for all genders and skin tones
  • Affordable without compromising on quality
  • Made in India — with pride and purpose

At Nuuv, we don’t believe in marketing “perfect” skin.

We believe in caring for real skin — tired skin, sensitive skin, working skin, skin that has seen the sun, stress, sweat, and everything in between.

Because at the end of the day, we’re all human.
And we all deserve to feel good in our skin.

Nuuv Essentials isn’t just a brand.
It’s a movement toward honest skincare, human-first innovation, and heartfelt sustainability.

For skin that breathes, heals, and lives fully.
For a future that feels fresh, free, and fair.
For you.
