Do you too enjoy taking care of yourself while also looking after your health? To achieve this, it’s vital to pay attention to the cosmetic products we use every day.
In recent months, I've had the opportunity to test a beauty box that is a bit different from the rest and aligns with my choice to use only natural products. It's the Nuoo box, and I'm sharing my experience with it in the following lines!

How does the Nuoo Box work?

Is the Nuoo box commitment-free?
If you choose the monthly subscription, Nuoo is commitment-free and you can unsubscribe at any time from your account dashboard.
If you prefer to opt for 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 end. If you wish to continue your subscription, you will need to renew your beauty box subscription.
What are the benefits offered to Nuoo Box subscribers?
If you subscribe to the box, you'll enjoy -10% off the Nuoo e-shop! This allows you to save significantly if you regularly purchase cosmetics. On this online store, you can find the products featured in the boxes, so you can incorporate them into your routine if you wish!

What formats of products are available?
In my Nuoo box, I often found products in travel sizes. These are slightly smaller than the regular retail size you usually find in specialised shops, but they are not just samples! The cosmetics I received had an average volume of 100ML.
Occasionally, I was pleasantly surprised to find products in full-size, which means they are the same size as those available for purchase in stores.
What are the brands of the products in the box?
This box features renowned brands in organic cosmetics such as: Florame, Inika, Les Secrets de Loly, Logona, Madara, D-LAB, Apo, Yodi, Pachamamaï, Respire...
These brands are carefully selected by Nuoo as they offer natural and certified cosmetics.

What are product labels?
The products you will find in your box or that you can order from the NUOO e-shop typically come with labels and certifications that ensure their quality. Here are the main ones, along with their meanings:
![]() | Ecocert | 95% of the ingredients are of natural origin, with a minimum of 10% being organic. The packaging is biodegradable or recyclable. No animal testing 🐶 No toxic substances (synthetic fragrances, GMOs, nanoparticles...) |
![]() | Cosmébio | 95% of the ingredients are of natural origin, with 10% of the total ingredients sourced from organic agriculture. |
![]()
| Natrue | No synthetic fragrances or colourants, GMOs, Only natural and organic ingredients, Environmentally friendly practices. |
![]() | Cruelty-Free and Vegan | No animal-derived ingredients, no testing, no cruelty. The certified brand is committed to animal-friendly products. |
![]() | Vegan | Free from any animal products or by-products. |
👉 Most of the products I received in my NUOO boxes had at least one or two of these labels. It's really reassuring and certifies that they are trustworthy cosmetics.
Is the Nuoo Box really eco-friendly?

Nuoo selects its cosmetics based on several stringent criteria.
🔸 The composition of products
These must all be made up of at least 95% natural ingredients. Organic farming is encouraged and is an important deciding factor.
🛑 All products deemed dangerous or toxic are excluded, such as parabens, silicones, phthalates, mineral oils, synthetic fragrances, and more...
🌍 Nuoo places great importance on the traceability of ingredients found in every product.
🔸 Respect for Nature and Animals
🌿 Most products are packaged in recyclable and/or recycled packaging, and many are even completely zero waste.
🐶 The products sold by Nuoo must not have been tested on animals.
🔸 The effectiveness and quality of products
Nuoo is a company that places great importance on the quality of the products sold on its e-shop or through its subscription box. These products must be genuinely effective and have a proven track record.

👉 With Nuoo, I genuinely felt like I had found a place to get cosmetics that aligned with my values. It allows me to use the products with complete confidence, without needing to do extensive research on apps like Yuka. This has saved me a tremendous amount of time and enabled me to enjoy my beauty routine with peace of mind!
What Does a Nuoo Box Look Like?
The Nuoo Box is delivered in a lovely cardboard box that is completely recyclable. To help you better visualise what it looks like, I’d like to offer a spotlight on the box from May 2022. This edition was themed around "Jungle Fever" and is one of my favourite picks from my subscription.
Firstly, here is a short video from the Nuoo team presenting the products in this set in detail:
👉 As for me, out of all these products, I received:
- The Laboratoire de Biarritz sun cream, in full size, which helped me protect my skin all summer,
- The waterproof pouch, incredibly handy for taking my products to the pool or on holiday without worrying about leaks,
- The Kadalys purifying mask, in travel size,
- The Madara micellar water, in a convenient 50 ML size!

I loved the botanical theme of this set and its appearance! I was able to really make use of the products it contained and even adopted the sun cream, which I subsequently ordered again from the online shop, as I was truly satisfied 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 this is an organic and natural box, it is especially aimed at women who are keen to adopt a healthy beauty routine for themselves and the environment.
With the online shop, which allows you to repurchase a product you liked at a 10% discount if you have a subscription, this box is perfect for discovering and trying out products, so you can later add your favourites to your beauty routine. You can simply subscribe for a few months, as I did, or keep the subscription for years if you fancy it!

Nuoo is a generic box: this means it is aimed at women of all ages. Therefore, it makes for the 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, with utmost gentleness.
What is the price of the Nuoo box? 💰
Without any commitment, the Nuoo box costs £19.90 per month, including delivery.
However, several pricing options are available with the Nuoo box. If you choose a subscription commitment of 3 months or a year, you will receive discounts and gifts.
Let's explore the details of the pricing together:

The one-year offer brings the unit price of the box down to £18.25 per month, resulting in total savings of £19.80 over the year: this is equivalent to one free box.
With the three-month subscription offer, Nuoo rewards your loyalty with a complimentary gift bag:

Is there a Nuoo gift card? 🎁
Are you looking to give Nuoo as a gift for Christmas, a birthday, or Valentine's Day? Or perhaps just to treat someone? The brand makes it easy for you with the "Gifting" section, accessible from the "Box" menu on the website.
How to Give a Nuoo Gift Card?
You can easily gift a subscription to someone of your choice, starting from £39. Here’s how to do it:

The recipient of your gift won't have to pay anything: delivery and the contents of the parcels are included in the subscription. At the end of the subscription period, it will automatically end.
📅 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 card is perfect for a small present. For a group gift or a special occasion, the Nuoo gift cards for 6 months at £118 and 1 year at £200 will be just the ticket.

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

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

How was the ordering process for the box on the Nuoo website?
I found the website very clear and well-designed. It's easy to understand what the box involves and the pricing. Personally, I chose the no-commitment box at £19.90 so that I could cancel if I wasn't satisfied.
I also appreciated the fact that it's possible to get a detailed preview of the latest boxes. This allows you to know what to expect and avoids any disappointment!
How did the delivery of my Nuoo box go?
The delivery went exceptionally well. The parcels always arrived on time, and most importantly, they were carefully packaged. I had them delivered to my home and I never encountered any issues.
Source: Instagram (@nuoobox)
Did I enjoy the contents of the Nuoo box?
Yes! I have most often been delighted with the products I received, which are genuinely useful in everyday life. They are natural cosmetics from well-known brands, most of which are EcoCert or Cosmébio certified.
Subscribing to a subscription box means you regularly receive a variety of products. If I wasn't particularly keen on some of them, I've gifted them to others, and it has certainly made people happy!
Are there areas for improvement at Nuoo?
Overall, I am very pleased with this beauty box. However, I find that the price is slightly on the high side as there is often only one full-size product per box. In order for me to maintain my subscription for years to come, it might be worth lowering the price by a euro or two, or including more full-size items in the box.
Source: Instagram (@nuoobox)
✅ In summary, I absolutely loved receiving my Nuoo box and discovering the products inside. Some of them have become a staple in my beauty routine, and I purchase them through the Nuoo e-shop, which is a real treasure trove! Whether it's for yourself or as a gift, this box is a fantastic idea!
