It’s officially been two weeks since we launched naina on October 1st and honestly, we’re still letting it all sink in. After years of dreaming, testing and planning, seeing naina finally come to life feels both surreal and incredibly special.

Launch day was an emotional one for us. It was a mix of excitement, nerves and a whole lot of gratitude. We remember pressing “share” on the @naina.skin Instagram page, taking a deep breath and waiting. Within minutes our phones started lighting up with messages, DMs and comments from friends, family and even people we’d never met all cheering us on. That moment will stay with us forever. Thank you. 

This first two weeks have been full of milestones. We shared our very first blog post introducing the heart behind naina and what this brand truly stands for. We've been preparing our PR sample jars to be shipped out soon (please join our community if you would like to receive one). Soon, those jars, filled with something we created from scratch will be in real people’s hands. Your hands. That’s our dream coming to life.

We’ve also started sharing more behind-the-scenes moments on our personal pages (@justingovender & @taylornaina) the chaos, the laughter, the late-night brainstorms and all the tiny details that make up our days right now. We want everyone to see the real side of building naina and not just the polished brand but the heart, hard work and humanity behind it.

And perhaps the most beautiful part of this so far? Our community has already grown to over 160 people. Every follow, comment, message and kind word means so much to us. You’re not just watching naina grow, you’re helping to shape it.

In the coming days we will be sharing more detail on our current product line. We will do a spotlight on each product explaining a little more around the intention and purpose behind them all. 

As we look back on these two weeks so far, we’re filled with gratitude, excitement and a deep sense of purpose. This is just the beginning but it already feels like something so much bigger than us.

Here’s to naina. Your feedback is our formula. 

With love,

The naina Team
