PRODUCTS
The UNICEUTICALS® film is a biodegradable, water-soluble strip that once dissolved delivers skincare products directly to the user’s skin. The strip is designed to eliminate the use and need for harmful, product packaging.

Absolutely! Our film technology is fundamentally designed for daily use. Healthy for the skin and safe for the planet, we can’t wait to hear your feedback on it…
We don’t subscribe to an all-natural, organic, or vegan beauty status. We keep our focus on formulating products with ethically sourced, plant-based ingredients that are both healthy for your skin and safe for the planet.
All NWÄR SKIN products are non-toxic, synthetic fragrance-free, paraben-free, and phthalate free. We’re committed to your skin’s health and the safety of our fragile planet.
Due to the waterless nature of our film technology, we’re proud to offer products free from preservatives and parabens. You’re getting only the good stuff with each and every use!
Nope! We proudly offer products free from sulfates and silicones.
Although most of our products do not contain gluten, none of our products are certified gluten-free. We always encourage users to check the product’s label and patch test prior to use. If you’re still not sure, consult with a doctor prior to purchase and use.
Though there’s no Federal standard for “hypo-allergenic” and “non-comedogenic” product claims, our films have been formulated without the use of known skin-irritating ingredients. We always encourage users to check the product’s label and patch test prior to use. If you’re still not sure, consult with a doctor prior to purchase and use.
Certainly not! We respect our furry friends and hold them in our highest regard. We never test our products on animals.
All of our products are safe to use while pregnant or nursing but it’s always best to check with your doctor BEFORE using a new product and prior to purchase. Oh, and congratulations, friend!
SUSTAINABILTY
Biodegradable means that an object can decompose or be broken down naturally by other living organisms such as bacteria or fungi. In the case of our film products, biodegradation begins once the strips have been exposed to excessive moisture or water.
Our film products are formulated with ingredients that are biocompatible with your skin’s living tissue and won’t create a toxic response during use. They are sustainable because they’re made with renewable, plant-based materials and create zero waste after use or product expiry.
Is this really a question?…
We’re a modern brand with forward-thinking leadership. The ingredients used for our products are derived from ethically sourced plant farms, production processes, manufacturing practices, and humane work environments.
Of course! Our film products are non-toxic and plumbing-safe. When exposed to water, our products will naturally biodegrade creating zero waste by-product.
Absolutely not! The UNICEUTICALS® film products are made with 100% plant-based, renewable materials and are free from PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) and other synthetic plastic-based materials.
Our product packaging is 100% recyclable and made from 35% post-consumer recycled paper. To dispose of the UNICEUTICALS® film packaging, simply dump the box in the paper waste recycling bin after use.
Our product packaging is not compostable at this time.
While other brands boast product sustainability with “thoughtful” plastic packaging and rely heavily on consumer recycling efforts after use, we opted to take an innovative approach. Our film products eliminate harmful waste once and for all, and remove “recycling efforts” from the sustainability equation altogether. You’re welcome, friend!
Our mission is to simplify your skincare routine with sustainable products…
We hope to spark a conscious connection between individual consumption and the sustainability of our planet’s resources. We aim to accelerate the beauty community’s transition towards a plastic-free future.
