People and Planet Initatives

Our Niré family is as international as it comes, hailing from countries in Asia, across Europe and America, and all the way through to the Brazilian Amazon, team Niré collectively speaks 9 different languages, spanning 5 continents. We are proud to have such an international team who not only help us to understand many different cultures, but actually help us to diversify our thinking and increase creativity. As a little thank you for all their hard work, our staff work flexibly, both in terms of hours and location — whether in the UK or abroad. We even insist everyone takes their birthday as a bonus holiday each year. Fancy joining our team? Drop us a line info@nirebeauty.com

Ever wondered who lovingly packages up and sends out all your exciting new brush orders? At Niré we work with a social enterprise called Paperworks which provides personalised support for people with autism, learning disabilities, and complex needs. Paperworks helps these individuals do something great for their community, learn new skills, make new friends, and most importantly have fun. Not only do they help us to deliver orders from our website they do a fabulous job in the process! You can find out more at http://www.paperworks.org.uk/ but be prepared to have your heart seriously warmed.

We’re not just committed to showing kindness and responsibility to our UK employees, but to our international workers too. That’s why we only work closely with factories that match our social and environmental vision. Our factory in Dongguan, PRC, is Amfori BSCI certified, meaning that it meets all international labour standards to protect the conditions and the rights of the people there who work hard to produce our beautiful brushes.

It matters to us, our customers, our friends and family, and our future generations. As a beauty and skin prep brand, we hold ourselves responsible for representing and celebrating beauty in all its forms, shades, shapes, and sizes.

We’re committed to promoting and protecting diversity by working with creators from all backgrounds and walks of life. If you’re a beauty, lifestyle, or any other kind of content creator looking for a platform to share your work and some amazing brushes and tools to get started – get in touch with us today.

We’ve been working hard to reduce the amount of materials and waste that we use — that’s why we have removed all unnecessary packaging from things like our silicone brush cleaning tool and facial cleansing brush. From now on, our brushes come with either a reusable brush net or a recyclable bag — not both! We’re updating our packaging to become greener and greener every day so stay tuned for more updates. As for reducing our environmental impact, our wooden brush handles only come from FSC certified sources (meaning they’re dedicated to promoting responsible forestry and reducing environmental impact) and we aim to minimise our carbon footprint by shipping products by sea and not air wherever we can.

The Niré team is dedicated to producing beautiful brushes of the best quality, and a big part of this is creating brushes that last. We even offer a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty because our brushes, tools, and storage capsule are all designed to last for many years and reduce the amount of new products you have to buy. And don’t forget, all brush nets that come with your brushes are reusable, so please keep hold of them or check out our blog post for more ideas on how to use them.

We want to be as sustainable and eco-friendly as we can, so we make sure that our materials are as recyclable as possible. If you didn’t already know, all plastic shrink wrap and brush bags can be recycled just like plastic carrier bags can (usually you can drop these off at a local collection point like a supermarket) and our cardboard packaging and inserts can easily be recycled by kerbside collections. On a slightly different note, our brush ferrules (the metal band connecting the bristles to the handle) are made from recycled aluminium and not copper. This is because aluminium is actually one of the most recycled and most recyclable materials on the market. Fun fact: 75% of all aluminium produced in the USA is actually still in use today! So if the sad day ever comes when you decide it’s finally time to let go of your Niré brushes, you can rest assured knowing that your Niré ferrules can be recycled and reused again and again.

None of our products have been tested on animals. All of our research and developement is centred around humans, both in creation and testing and feedback.

We go further and make sure that all of our products are vegan-friendly - no animal products are present in anything we do.
