Nefertem (pronounced neh-fur-tim) is a family-owned, holistic skincare company that combines old-school craftmanship with a modern twist.
Frankly, we were tired of seeing unnatural ingredients in supposedly "natural" products, and wanted to find a way to incorporate traditional elements (such as grass-fed tallow and herbs), into the products we used on our family's skin.
Plus, we were skeptical of the ways in which products were being made – mass-produced, by those who could give a damn about the planet or the people who would be using them.
So, guided by our intuition and signs from the Universe, we developed a collection of truly natural products, consciously infused with positive intentions, to nourish the skin with nature's finest and elevate the soul's vibration.
We believe in sacred self-care from conception to creation. That’s why we cleanse and bless our ingredients to align the finished product with what humanity needs most – healing of the mind, body, and soul.
Each product is purposefully made from the heart, to cultivate a renewed, more intentional spirit, and of course, more beautiful skin.
Each product is meticulously handcrafted, in small batches, to ensure freshness and reflect the pride we have in preserving traditional artistry.
Even as we continue to grow, we have vowed to never replace an employee’s hands with a robot machine, just to save a buck.
In fact, we're working to develop apprenticeship programs to teach the youth how to carry on these old-fashioned traditions to preserve the skills of times past - like hand-rendering beef suet and making soap from scratch.
As smart consumers, we need to look past deceptive labels and trust our instincts to make conscious choices about what we buy.
We must question everything to uncover the truth and not be swayed by persuasive pitches. And when we discover a business that genuinely operates with integrity, we must cast our vote for a better world by ensuring they have our ongoing support.
At Nefertem, we are committed to purchasing from local, family-owned, ethical, and conscious companies that prioritize people and the environment, no matter the cost. Period.
We carefully select…
• Organic whenever it makes sense (90% of our ingredients are currently organic, the other 10% don’t need to be…ever heard of the Dirty Dozen Clean 15 – same principles).
• Wild-crafted or farm-grown herbs from companies who
support herb protection initiatives.
• GCMS-tested, pure essential oils from as close to the
source as possible.
• Grade A, unrefined, unadulterated plant oils and butters
• Ethically raised and processed, grass-fed tallow
