Our Story

Welcome to Nyah Beauty, where beauty has a purpose!
Since 2002, what started as simple requests from loved ones for homemade soap has blossomed into something truly special. From crafting small batches at home to now producing thousands of bars for customers across the country, Nyah Beauty’s journey has been guided by one simple belief: skincare should make you feel good, inside and out.
The Natural Choice
Our journey transformed when we discovered the pure magic of creating soap from scratch using plant-based ingredients. We believe plants offer incredible care both nutritionally and externally. Our skin, being our largest organ, deserves gentle, recognizable ingredients that nurture and protect. We stand firmly behind transparency in everything we do, from our ingredient lists to our production processes, ensuring you always know exactly what's in our products.
Our Newark Home
We proudly call Newark, NJ our home. From our space in the Newark Makerhood, behind the historic Krueger Scott Mansion, we're building more than just products. We're creating community. Visit our scrub station to experience our products firsthand. There's something special about being part of Newark's vibrant maker community, and we love when neighbors stop by to say hello.
Community Impact
Our commitment to the community extends beyond our storefront. Through our partnership with Beauty that Cares, we help young girls explore entrepreneurship through hands-on experiences, culminating in an arts fair where they can showcase their creations. Our Women at Ease initiative brings together local entrepreneurs for day-long events featuring DIY projects, mindfulness activities, and physical wellness, celebrating the spirit of women supporting women. We also partner with the City of Newark Homeless Services to provide support to those in need, because we believe in fostering a more connected and caring community for all.
More Than Just Soap
We treasure stories like Theresa's. She found our Lemongrass and Lavender soap during the pandemic and, after years of struggling with sensitive skin, finally found her perfect match. Five years later, she remains a loyal customer. These moments remind us why we do what we do.
Looking Forward
As we grow, we're excited about expanding our product line, developing new retail partnerships, and continuing to be your destination for quality, plant-based skincare in Newark and beyond.
Whether you're visiting our shop, finding us at your favorite retailer, or shopping online, we're thrilled to be part of your skincare journey. At Nyah Beauty, you're not just a customer, you're part of our story.
Welcome to our family!
