ABOUT
Nudge Boutique is based in Norfolk, UK and offers you handcrafted, artisan hair and skin care products.
Skin and hair can be very different to what it was in our teens and twenties.
Peri-menopausal symptoms can cause drier skin (as early as our 30’s), so it’s important to transition our beauty regimes accordingly.
At Nudge, we respond to these changes by creating products that nudge balance, gloss, glow and hydration back to your skin and hair.
We also help you make the switch to less plastic, easy and hassle free with our solid shampoo bars, handcrafted soap and refill service.
We are committed to including locally sourced ingredients in our formulations as much as possible too.
NUDGE MISSION
To help you capture and experience a sense of well being from using nature's beauty ingredients to nourish your hair and skin.
We do this by:
*Formulating with plant based and plant derived ingredients.
Advocating an age positive approach to beauty
Offering plastic free, eco-friendly options
Formulation Process
During the design process, every ingredient is explored; from a woman's desire to reconnect with nature's remedies to nourish her skin and create a sense of well being.
Creativity
Every product is formulated from a deep personal desire to create beautiful products using nature's ingredients.
Humans Only
Every product is tested on our family, our friends, and ourselves - never on animals. None of our ingredients are tested in animals.
Eco Conscious
We use glass, paper and aluminium instead of plastic bottles and jars. We offer a refill service to help reduce the number of plastic pumps and pipettes in our skincare products. We also use recycled and plastic free packaging materials.
We source as many of our ingredients from local farmers as possible, and support other local businesses for many of our materials (such as shred and boxes).
Charity
2022-23 Our chosen charity is Food Banks. It’s very rewarding to use some of Nudge profits to purchase food items and drop them off to Food banks.
Well-being
We value health and well being and see it as a key factor to how ageing skin looks and behaves. Whatever the impact, our skin can have a profound effect on our health and well being.
(To be able to sell in U.K. and any EU country, brands, as well as ingredients suppliers, must not conduct or commission tests on animals for their cosmetic products and ingredients).

We do not use Palm Oil and Mica at the moment because of child labour and the abuse and poor working conditions of employees. (We are open to working with any small holding that provides fair wages, and avoids the exploitation of people and Mother Earth).
Charity
Like our name, we move towards needs that touch us. The first 3 years we gave some of our profits to Love Me Love My Face Foundation. A Charity set up to support families and children with Treacher Collins Syndrome.

Nudge - to prompt, influence, urge, persuade*Exceptions to our Conditioner Bars
*We do not use Palm Oil or Mica, but since the War on UKraine many wonderful Palm free conditioner ingredients have been discontinued. We strive to find Palm Oil free and plant based ingredients to replace them, but where this is not possible we rely on plant derived ingredients that may contain a tiny % of safe synthetics.
This will only be pursued as a last result and after much research. If this is the case, it will state on the product description and in the meantime, we will continue to look for a plant based replacement that is reliable to source to use instead.
