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

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

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

The Nuoo Beauty Box, in a nutshell

💖 I Loved It

• The quality of the products offered,
• The different labels of the products that align with my values,
• The gentle and natural vibe of the box,
• The variety of cosmetics included,
• The brand's reliability and customer service.

❌ I liked it less

• The price is a bit steep for a travel size,
• It's not possible to pause for a month during the holidays unless you cancel the subscription, which is a pity!

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 that it is a box of products specially selected for you, which will be delivered directly to your home every month.

Is the Nuoo box commitment-free?

If you choose the monthly subscription, Nuoo is contract-free and you can cancel at any time from your client area.

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 terminate. If you wish for it 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 a -10% discount on the Nuoo e-shop! This allows you to save significantly if you regularly purchase cosmetics. On this online store, you can find the products tested in the boxes, so you can incorporate them into your routine if you'd like!

• Plant oils for the body, hair, and face,
• Organic makeup,

📚 In each box, you will also find the Nuoo magazine, which reveals a variety of beauty tips and the latest news from the cosmetics world.

What product formats are available?

In my Nuoo box, I often found products in a travel size. They're slightly smaller than the retail sizes typically sold in specialty shops, but they’re not samples either! The cosmetics I received had an average volume of 100ML.

Occasionally, I was pleasantly surprised to find products in full-size, meaning they are the same size as what you would buy in stores.

What are the brands of the products in the box?

This box features top 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 because 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 often have labels and certifications that guarantee their quality. Here are the main ones, along with their meanings:

	Ecocert	95% of the ingredients are of natural origin, with at least 10% being organic. The packaging is biodegradable or recyclable. No animal testing 🐶 No toxic products (synthetic fragrances, GMOs, nanoparticles...)
	Cosmébio	95% of ingredients are of natural origin, With 10% of total ingredients sourced from organic farming.
	Natrue	No synthetic fragrances, colourants, or GMOs, Natural and organic ingredients, Environmentally friendly practices.
	Cruelty Free and Vegan	No animal-derived products, no testing, no cruelty. The branded product is committed to being animal-friendly.
	Vegan	Contains no 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 these are trustworthy cosmetics.

Is the La Nuoo Box Really Eco-Friendly?

Nuoo selects its cosmetics based on several strict criteria.

🔸 The composition of products

These products must all be made up of at least 95% natural ingredients. Organic farming is encouraged and is an important factor in making a choice.

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

🌍 Nuoo places great emphasis on the traceability of the ingredients found in every product.

🔸 Respect for Nature and Animals

🌿 Most products are packaged in recyclable and/or recycled packaging, and some 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 a high priority on the quality of the products sold on its online store or through its subscription box. These products must be genuinely effective and have a proven track record.

👉 With Nuoo, I genuinely felt like I found a place to get cosmetics that aligned with my values. This allows me to use the products with complete confidence, without having to spend ages researching on apps like Yuka. It has saved me so much time and enabled me to enjoy my beauty routine peacefully!

What Does a Nuoo Box Look Like?

The Nuoo Box comes beautifully presented in a pretty cardboard box that is fully recyclable. To help you get a better idea of what it's like, I’d like to highlight the May 2022 box. This edition was themed around "Jungle Fever" and is one of my favourite picks from my subscription.

Here’s a quick video from the Nuoo team that gives an in-depth look at the products included in this set:

👉 As for me, regarding all these products, I received:

• The Laboratoire de Biarritz solar milk in full-size, which helped me protect my skin all summer,
• The waterproof pouch, super 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, conveniently sized at 50 ML!

I absolutely loved the botanical theme of this set and its appearance! I was able to really use the products it contained, and I even embraced the sunscreen that I later reordered from the e-shop because I was so satisfied with it. 😉

Who is the Nuoo Box for?

Like all beauty boxes, Nuoo is made for those who love surprises and enjoy taking care of themselves. However, as it is an organic and natural box, it is specifically aimed at women who are keen on adopting a healthy beauty routine for themselves and for the environment.

With the e-shop, which allows you to repurchase a product that you liked at a 10% discount if you have a subscription, this box is perfect for discovering and testing products, so you can later add your favourites to your beauty routine. You can simply subscribe for a few months, like I did, or keep the subscription for years if you fancy it!

Nuoo is a general box: this means it is designed for women of all ages. It makes for an ideal 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 a gentle touch.

What is the price of the Nuoo box? 💰

No commitment is required, the Nuoo box costs R 19.90 per month, delivery included.

However, there are multiple pricing options available with the Nuoo box. If you choose 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 fees:

The one-year offer brings the unit price of the box down to R18.25 per month, saving you a total of R19.80 over the year: that's equivalent to getting one box for free.

Is there a Nuoo gift card? 🎁

Are you looking to gift Nuoo for Christmas, a birthday, or Valentine's Day? Or perhaps just to treat someone special? You'll be pleased to know that the brand makes it easy for you with the "Gift" section, which you can find in the "Box" menu on the website.

How to gift a Nuoo gift card?

You can easily gift a subscription to someone of your choice, starting from R39. Here’s how to do it:

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

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

What are the available options for the Nuoo gift card?

Here are the available offers and their amounts:

For my part, I think that the R39 gift card is perfect for a small present. For a group gift or a special occasion, the Nuoo gift cards for 6 months at R118 and for a year at R200 will be just right.

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

My Verdict on the Nuoo Box ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've previously subscribed to other beauty boxes before Nuoo, but this one really caught my eye because it offered more natural cosmetics, which aligns with my shopping habits for the past few years.

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

I found the website very clear and well-designed. It's easy to understand what the box is about as well as the pricing. I chose the month-to-month box at R 19.90 so I could cancel if I wasn't satisfied.

I also appreciated the fact that it is possible to have a detailed preview of the latest boxes. This helps you know what to expect and avoids disappointment!

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 mostly been delighted with the products I received, which are genuinely useful for everyday life. These are natural cosmetics from well-known brands, most of which are certified organic or eco-friendly.

Subscribing to a box means receiving a variety of products regularly. If I wasn't particularly interested in some of them, I passed them on to friends and made quite a few people happy!

Are there any areas for improvement for Nuoo?

Overall, I am quite pleased with this beauty box. However, I find that the price is a bit steep as there is often only one full-size product per box. In order for me to continue my subscription for years to come, it might be worthwhile to lower the price by a euro or two, or perhaps include more full-size items in the box.

✅ In summary, I really enjoyed receiving my Nuoo box and discovering the products inside it. Some of them have now become a part of my beauty routine, and I purchase them through the Nuoo e-shop, which is a treasure trove! Whether it's for yourself or as a gift, this box is a fantastic idea!
