If there’s one word to describe what this season feels like at naina, it’s becoming.
Everything is taking shape, the textures, the scents, the packaging and most excitingly our very first products: the naina body butter and naina body oil.
It’s been months of testing, tweaking and trusting the process. Some days everything comes together perfectly;other days we start from scratch. But that’s what makes it so special, we’re building something we truly believe in, piece by piece.
Fragrance is such a personal thing. It can transport you, calm you, or make you feel grounded in your own skin. When we began creating the scents for our naina body butter and naina body oil, we didn’t just want something that smelled nice, we wanted something that felt like you.
We’ve blended and re-blended soft notes, fresh lemongrass and a touch of orange citrus warmth. We’ve tested it on skin, on fabric, in the morning, at night and with every round we’ve come a little closer to that perfect “naina” scent. Clean, comforting and quietly confident.
It’s not loud. It’s not trying too hard. It just is. And that’s exactly what we love about it.
These two products are the heart of our first launch a duo that celebrates the art of slowing down.
Our naina body butter is whipped and velvety, deeply hydrating but never heavy. It’s the kind of texture that melts in and makes your skin feel truly cared for. The naina body oil is its silky, luminous partner, light enough to use every day and rich enough to make you glow.
Used together, they’re more than skincare. They’re a moment to reconnect with yourself.
When you take a few extra minutes to apply them slowly with mindful, upward strokes you’re not just moisturising. You’re helping your body’s natural lymphatic flow, supporting circulation and giving your skin that beautiful, healthy vitality that radiates from within.
It’s skincare, yes but it’s also self-care in the most literal sense.
We’ve also been quietly working on something we’re really excited about - the naina repair balm. It’s still in its experimental phase but it’s already becoming one of our favourites.
Think of it as your little jar of calm for dry patches, lips, cuticles or anywhere your skin needs a little extra love. We’re testing different botanical blends that not only heal but also comfort so it feels like a hug in balm form.
We can’t wait to share more as it evolves.
Packaging has been another adventure and we’ve gone through so many samples, colors and finishes to get it just right. We want naina products to feel peaceful and grounded the moment you see it on your shelf.
Soft tones, clean lines, gentle textures. No clutter, no noise. Just calm and understated beauty that reflects the way we want you to feel when you use our products.
We’ve started sharing more of our process on Instagram, the messy moments, the scent tests, the endless design discussions, and everything in between. Episode 001 of our new BTS series, 'the formula' is out on our social media right now.
Because honestly, this journey is too special not to share.
If you’re curious about how naina is coming to life, come join us @nainaskin. We’re showing it all, the real behind-the-scenes, not just the polished bits.
We’re getting closer every day to bringing our first collection to you. It feels surreal, exciting, a little scary, and mostly so, so right.
Thank you for being here, for following along and for believing in what we’re building. The best part of this whole process has been knowing we’re creating something that will one day be part of your daily rituals.
With love and gratitude,
The naina Team
