Nuxe founder Aliza Jabès describes her addictive skincare line as “the marriage of high rigor and a touch of poetry.” Since 1989, she and Nuxe’s team of alchemists have created some of the most sumptuous and effective beauty and spa products on the market — from the best-selling Rêve de Miel lip balm (tested in the freezing cold temps of Canada) to Huile Prodigieuse, a luxurious multi-usage dry oil that contains precious plant extracts and nourishing vitamin E. Nuxe products are noncomedogenic, contain no mineral oils or animal-derived substances (including honey), and are mostly paraben-free. Schooled in Paris and New York City, Jabès inherited her love of plants and nature from her parents; to protect the environment, she ensures that all Nuxe packaging is made of recyclable materials and as minimalist as possible. In addition to its products for “nuxettes,” Nuxe also offers a men’s line featuring eye cream, aftershave, shower gel and other daily essentials.
