WHY Get NEKKID with us?
"Being NEKKID® is not simply being without clothing--It means you are getting nekkid for mischievous purposes. Simply put, nekkid is being naked, naughty, and confident." -Urban Dictionary

WE ARE AN HONEST COMPANY. We make it a point to be real honest on our manufacturing date and what our products are made from. We will tell you when our products are not safe or if it is not made with 100% all-natural ingredients.
We made it our mission to make everyone look good naked or "Nekkid®". Having the perfect body is not enough, so we aim to give you the perfect, glowing skin with our skin care made from natural ingredients -back to when ingredients lists were readable and understandable. Our products are paraben and additive-free, vegan/vegetarian, all-natural, organic, and gluten-free using only safe and natural preservatives that will give our products a longer shelf-life. We have stripped basic beauty products "NEKKID®" off of harmful chemicals, dyes, and away from the "dirty dozen" and have returned to simpler ingredients -ingredients you can understand. What gives our products their fragrance come from essential oils, or natural fragrance oils from fruits or flowers. Most often though, our products are completely fragrance-free even our hair care! In a nutshell, we do not use chemicals and perfumes to put fragrance in our products. The natural and pure essential oils that we use to add fragrance to our products act not only as fragrance, but these oils also give different benefits to not only your skin, but to overall well being as well. I guess you can call it AROMATHERAPY. These essential oils act as partial preservatives as well. Our raw materials are imported from over the world and we only use 100% pure, cold-pressed and refined oils. And this is the reason why sometimes there is a delay in shipping our products. We have to wait for the shipment of our raw materials before we can make a fresh batch of our skin care.

Preserving our products
The most asked question about our brand is, "how do you prevent bacterial growth in your products?" The answer is, although we include essential oils to help keep a longer shelf-life, we also use phenoxyethanol at the least possible safe level to keep bacteria from growing.
Phenoxyethanol is controversial because some people would safe that this is an unsafe alternative to parabens. But further research says that phenoxyethanol, although it is grown in a lab, it actually occurs naturally in green tea. In short, phenoxyethanol is considered a safe and effective preservative when used in amounts approved for use in leave-on or rinse-off cosmetics products by the FDA. Approved amount is a maximum of 1% per actual packaged product, we use the minimum amount of about .01% per actual product, hence the shorter shelf-life.
The safety of phenoxyethanol has been assessed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel several times. This group evaluated the foundational scientific data plus the newer relevant data, and concluded that phenoxyethanol is safe as a cosmetic ingredient.
