Grooming That Actually Works
Skin and beard care for men who take their routine seriously.
Great skin isn't gendered, and neither are most of the problems that come with it, dryness, irritation, hyperpigmentation, ingrown hairs, and rough texture are just as common for men as anyone else. This collection brings together the Nk&Co products that work particularly well for men's skin and beard care needs. "Nwabugo" Beard Oil conditions and softens coarse beard hair while keeping the skin beneath it healthy. Body butters provide the deep moisture that men's skin often gets skipped on, and targeted treatments handle dark spots and irritation from shaving, friction, and everyday stress on the skin.
"Ugomma" Facial Oil
A Lightweight Facial Oil for Dry, Dull or Tight-Feeling Skin
"Ugomma" Facial Oil is a simple, four-ingredient facial oil made with grapeseed oil, vitamin E, neem oil and tea tree. It is made for skin that feels dry, dull or in need of light nourishment, and it doubles as a cleansing oil.
Texture and Finish: A Lightweight Face Oil That Won't Feel Heavy
Thin and fast-absorbing. It spreads easily over damp skin and leaves a soft finish rather than a rich, coating one.
Scent: A Fresh, Herbal Facial Oil
Fresh, herbal and naturally earthy, with clean tea tree and neem notes and no added synthetic fragrance.
Made With: tea tree, vitamin E, grapeseed oil, neem oil.
How to Use Facial Oil
As a moisturizing step: on clean skin, apply 1–3 drops to fingertips and press over face and neck, avoiding the eyes.
As a cleansing oil: apply a small amount to dry skin, massage to loosen makeup and sunscreen, then rinse or follow with a gentle cleanser.
Where It Fits: Facial Oil, Before or After Moisturizer
Facial oil goes after water-based products, to help seal in what is underneath. If you use a paste or serum, that goes first.
Best For: dry, dull or tight-feeling skin, and anyone who prefers a light oil over a cream.
Not For: broken or damaged skin, or the eye area. Because it contains tea tree and neem, patch test first if your skin is sensitive.
