My Take on NUOO: I Tried This Organic and Natural Box!

Do you also enjoy looking after yourself while taking care of your health? To do this, it's important to pay attention to the cosmetic products we use every day.

In recent months, I've had the chance to try out a beauty box that's a bit different from the others, aligning with my choice to use only natural products. This is the Nuoo box and I’ll share my experience with it in the following lines!

How Does the Nuoo Box Work?

Nuoo is a beauty box that operates like its competitors: My Little Box, Prescription Lab, Biotyfull Box, Blissim, Glowria... This means it’s a box of products specially selected for you, which will be sent directly to your home every month.

Is the Nuoo box commitment-free?

If you choose the monthly subscription, Nuoo is no commitment and you can cancel at any time from your account settings.

If you prefer to choose a subscription for a fixed period (3 months or 1 year), there is a commitment for the duration of your subscription. At the end of the commitment period, it will automatically terminate. If you want to continue, you will need to renew your subscription to this beauty box.

What are the benefits offered to Nuoo Box subscribers?

If you're subscribed to the box, you'll enjoy -10% off at the Nuoo e-shop! This is a great way to save if you're regularly purchasing cosmetics. In this online store, you can find the products featured in the boxes, making it easy to add them to your routine if you're interested!

What exactly is included in the Nuoo box?

The Nuoo Box is a beauty subscription box that offers natural and high-quality products. In the following lines, I’ll share a bit about its contents so you can see if it meets your expectations!

What formats of products are available?

In my Nuoo box, I've mostly found products in a Travel Size. They are slightly smaller than the regular sizes sold in specialty stores, but they're not just samples! The cosmetics I received had an average volume of 100ML.

I was pleasantly surprised to find full-size products, which means they are the same size as those you can buy in stores.

What are the brands of the products in the box?

This box features well-known organic cosmetic brands such as: Florame, Inika, Les secrets de Loly, Logona, Madara, D-LAB, Apo, Yodi, Pachamamaï, Respire...

These brands are carefully chosen by Nuoo as they offer natural and certified cosmetics.

What are product labels?

The products you'll find in your box or can order from the NUOO e-shop mostly have labels and certifications that ensure their quality. Here are the main ones, along with their meanings:

👉 Most of the products I received in my NUOO boxes had at least one or two of these labels. It's truly reassuring and certifies that these are trustworthy cosmetics.

Is the Nuoo Box really eco-friendly?

Nuoo has published its charter on its website, outlining its commitments to ecology, animal protection, and nature conservation.

Nuoo selects its cosmetics based on several strict criteria.

🔸 The composition of products

These must be made up of at least 95% natural ingredients. Organic farming is encouraged and is an important factor in selection.

🛑 All products considered hazardous or toxic are excluded, such as parabens, silicones, phthalates, mineral oils, synthetic fragrances, and so on...

🌍 Nuoo places a strong emphasis on the traceability of the ingredients in each product.

🔸 Respect for Nature and Animals

🌿 Most products come in recyclable and/or recycled packaging, or are even completely zero waste.

🐶 The products sold by Nuoo must not be tested on animals.

🔸 The effectiveness and quality of products

Nuoo is a company that places high importance on the quality of the products sold on its e-shop or through its subscription box. They must be truly effective and have a proven track record.

👉 With Nuoo, I truly felt like I had found a place to get cosmetics that aligned with my values. This means I can use the products with peace of mind, without needing to do extensive research on apps like Yuka. It really has saved me a huge amount of time and allowed me to enjoy my beauty routine with ease!

What Does a Nuoo Box Look Like?

The Nuoo Box comes delivered in a lovely recyclable cardboard box. To help you better visualise what it looks like, I'll highlight the May 2022 box. This edition was themed around "Jungle Fever" and is one of my favourite picks from my subscription.

First up, here’s a short video from the Nuoo team giving a detailed overview of the products in this kit:

👉 For my part, out of all these products, I've received:

  • The Laboratoire de Biarritz solar milk in full-size, which has allowed me to protect my skin all summer,
  • The waterproof pouch, super handy for taking my products to the pool or when travelling without worrying about leaks,
  • The Kadalys exfoliating mask, in travel size,
  • The Madara Micellar Water, in a convenient 50 ML size!

I loved the plant-themed design of this set and how it looks! I was able to really use the products it contained, and I even picked up the sunscreen which I later ordered again from the e-shop because I was incredibly pleased with it. 😉

Who is the Nuoo Box for?

Like all beauty boxes, Nuoo is designed for those who love surprises and enjoy taking care of themselves. However, as it is a bio and natural box, it is specifically aimed at women who are keen to adopt a healthy beauty routine for themselves and the environment.

With the online shop, which lets you purchase a product you liked later on, with a 10% discount if you have a subscription, this box is perfect for discovering and testing products, allowing you to add your favourites to your beauty routine. You can easily subscribe for a few months, just like I did, or keep your subscription for years if you wish!

Nuoo is a generalist box: this means it is designed for women of all ages. It makes for a perfect gift:

  • for a friend,
  • for your little sister, niece, or cousin,
  • for your mum,
  • or simply for yourself!

😳 The natural and certified products in this box are designed to care for the most sensitive and delicate skin, gently.

What is the price of the Nuoo box? 💰

Without any commitment, the Nuoo box costs $19.90 NZD per month, including delivery.

However, there are several pricing options available with the Nuoo box. If you opt for a subscription with a commitment of 3 months or a year, you'll receive discounts and gifts.

Let’s take a look at the details of the pricing:

The recipient of your gift won’t have to pay a thing: delivery and the contents of the packages are included in the subscription. At the end of the subscription period, it will automatically cancel.

📅 The recipient of the gift has one year to activate their gift card!

What options are available for the Nuoo gift card?

Here are the available offers and their amounts:

In my opinion, the $39 gift voucher is perfect for a little present. For a group gift or a special occasion, the Nuoo gift vouchers of 6 months for $118 and one year for $200 will be just right.

The Nuoo Box website will then prompt you to create an account and set up your subscription so you can start enjoying it!

My verdict on the Nuoo box ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have previously subscribed to other beauty boxes before Nuoo, but this one really caught my attention because it offered more natural cosmetics, which aligns with my consumption habits over the past few years.

How was the order for the box placed on the Nuoo website?

I found the website to be very clear and well-designed. It's easy to understand what the box includes and the pricing options. Personally, I chose the no-commitment box at $19.90 so that I could cancel if I wasn't satisfied.

I also appreciated that it’s possible to get a detailed preview of the latest boxes. This gives you an idea of what to expect, so you won't be disappointed!

How did the delivery of my Nuoo box go?

The delivery went really well. The parcels always arrived on time, and above all, they were carefully packaged. I had them delivered to my home, and I never encountered any issues.

Did I enjoy the contents of the Nuoo box?

Yes! I have most often been delighted with the products I received, which are truly useful for everyday life. These are natural cosmetics from renowned brands, most of which are Ecocert or Cosmébio certified.

Subscribing to a box means you regularly receive a variety of products. If something doesn't quite grab my attention, I've shared them with friends and family, and they've been over the moon!

Are there any areas for improvement at Nuoo?

Overall, I'm really happy with this beauty box. However, I think that the price is slightly steep since there's often only one full-size product per box. If I’m to stay subscribed for years, it might be worth considering lowering the price by a couple of dollars or including more full-size items in the box.

In summary, I absolutely loved receiving my Nuoo box and discovering the products inside. Some of them have become part of my beauty routine, and I buy them through the Nuoo e-shop, which is a real treasure trove! Whether for yourself or as a gift, this box is a fantastic idea!
