Nuekie
Founded by Eunice Cofie-Obeng
Nuekie is a chemist-founded line that fuses African botanical tradition with clinical cosmetic science for skin of color. Founded by Chief Chemist Eunice Cofie-Obeng, born to Ghanaian parents, teased as a child for her dark skin, the brand's name is her middle name, meaning "first daughter in the family and hardworking one." Its products are scientifically formulated with a unique combination of traditional African medicine and cutting-edge science, developed after ten years of research and development. The discovery angle is the founder's rare credentials: she holds a chemistry/molecular biology degree from Florida A&M and a Master of Science in Cosmetic Science. Products are designed to treat hyperpigmentation, acne and inflammation using ingredients that respect the physiological differences of melanin-rich skin. Hero products include the Moisture Therapy Crème and Luminous + Resilient serum. Caveat: a small, low-profile operation, verify current stock and shipping.
