The story of NYM starts with a life change: the French engineer Stephane Premel decided to put aside his director career for a year and go for a round-the-world trip with his family. While traveling in India, he discovered the importance of Neem tree, and its multiple properties: declared “tree of the 21st century” by the UN a few years ago, neem can be used in agriculture, traditional medicine, and, of course, dermatology. Neem has many properties in terms of skincare: anti-inflammatory, soothing, healing, regenerating, moisturizing, antioxidant, detoxifying…
When he returned to France, Stephane Premel gathered A scientific committee made of French doctors and researchers and conducted 2 years of research to develop natural and very effective skincare formulas based on neem virtues. It resulted in the creation of the green skincare brand NYM, with 100% natural formulas containing high doses of Neem extracts, sourced responsibly. The brand succeeded in developing a very effective brand, proven by many tests and studies, without using harmful chemicals and unnatural products.
NYM developed efficiency-driven products, with a not-too-long range of products. It makes it easier to find the products you need or to build a simple but efficient Beauty Routine. Thanks to its natural formulas, NYM skincare are particularly recommended for sensitive skin, but it is beneficial to any skin type.
Let’s introduce first a must-have product, that soon you won't be able to do without! Like the legendary Nuxe “Huile Prodigieuse”, this oil has multiple purposes and can be used on the face, body, and hair. It is a global solution for regulating skin disorders of any skin type, even the most sensitive ones. It contains 4% of Neem leave active extracts, with proven anti-inflammatory and anti-free radical properties.
Perfect for: anti-ageing and improving the skin’s health (anti-inflammation, anti-blemish, anti-spot, anti-redness).
How to use it?
On the face, you can use it on your dry skin by placing a few drops in the palm of your hand, and then apply with gentle movements. You can use it daily on the dry parts of your body: use light, delicate strokes with the flat of the hand to avoid damaging the skin. You can also use it on wet or dry hair, as a pre-shampoo or conditioner.
Any beauty routine starts with a cleanser/make-up remover as the surface of the skin is continuously exposed to external factors that can alter its appearance: in the morning it removes grime and residue that’s built up overnight, in the evening it removes the makeup residue and gets rid of any lingering dirt, sebum or dead cells. It leaves the skin clean, supple, smooth, radiant and soothed, ready for your day or night care routine.
Perfect for: suitable for all skin types, it is particularly recommended for sensitive skins
How to use it?
Apply the cleansing balm every morning and evening to a dry face, in gentle, circular movements until it completely transforms into an oil. Emulsify with water, rinse, and dry.
Toning completes the cleansing process by conditioning your skin for treatment and adding replenishing ingredients that support your skin’s health. A lotion is similar to a toner but has a better moisturizing ability than toner. NYM fundamental pre-care lotion hydrates, soothes, and stimulates the skin, preparing it to receive all the benefits of the Serum.

How to use it?
After cleansing the skin, place a few drops in the hand and spread them with the fingertips over the entire face and neck, massaging them in gently.
A daily routine should include a serum, super-concentrated, nutrient-dense treatments that address specific concerns. 100% Natural origin, the Absolute Serum combines the benefits of Neem with a rare plant species in cosmetics: the Poets’ Narcissus.

The Serum nourishes the skin in depth and restores its elasticity and suppleness.
Perfect for: Anti-spot treatment, aging skins or dehydrated skins.
How to use it?
Drop a few drops of the serum onto your fingertips, gently apply it to your face and neck, then lightly tap, pat, and smooth out the serum (morning and evening, after cleansing and before moisturizing).
A Day Cream hydrates the skin and works like a protective shield against environmental influences. NYM Fundamental Day Cream is a light, velvety, soothing, and protective moisturizer that uses the exceptional properties of Neem to make the skin glow with radiance and reduce redness.
