Created by a team of experts — gynaecologist Dr. Olivia Smart, pelvic health physiotherapist Niamh Clerkin, and co-founder Tessa Kain — Nu Natural makes products designed to alleviate common intimate health concerns for both men and women. 100% natural products for your best bits.
We are dedicated to supporting intimate health with natural products and expert guidance, giving everyone the option to take control of their wellbeing, without barriers or taboo.
Intimate health, particularly for women during menopause, has long been an under-discussed topic. That’s why, after witnessing these symptoms in their clinics on a daily basis, Dr. Olivia Smart and Niamh Clerkin, along with friend Tessa Kain decided to create Nu Natural’s first product: Nu Balm.
Launched in 2023, Nu Balm is designed specifically for vulvo-vaginal skin. It provides relief from common symptoms such as vaginal dryness and discomfort, which can arise from menopause, childbirth, breastfeeding, yeast infections, or chronic skin conditions. It’s also a 100% natural, oil-based lubricant and a vaginal moisturiser.
In 2024 Nu Butter joined the lineup to respond to customer requests, including men looking for an intimate care product, and indeed anyone who was looking to use quality, natural products on their most sensitive skin.
Nu Natural is dedicated to offering products and advice that give confidence to people knowing their intimate health and wellbeing is taken care of. We know that symptoms affecting intimate health can significantly impact physical health, self-esteem and relationships, and that taboo subjects needn’t be kept in the dark. It’s important to recognise that everyone’s personal and intimate experiences are different, but we are united by many similarities. Our goal is not just to offer relief, but to create a platform for meaningful conversations and provide resources to shine a light on the often overlooked topic of intimate health.
Thank you for being here.
