Yes. We formulate our products using carefully selected, nature-derived ingredients that gently cleanse while helping support your skin’s natural moisture barrier. Because every person’s skin is unique, we always recommend performing a patch test before using any new skincare product.

For some people, yes. If you’ve been using commercial soaps for many years, your skin may take a short time to adjust to a more natural cleansing routine. During this transition, your skin may feel slightly different as it rebalances its natural oils. This is usually temporary and most people find their skin settles within a week or two.

Many customers with dry, sensitive or eczema-prone skin enjoy using our soaps because they cleanse gently without leaving the skin feeling tight or stripped. However, individual results vary. N.O.V.A products are cosmetic products and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any medical condition.

Grass-fed beef tallow is naturally rich in skin-loving fatty acids, including oleic, palmitic and stearic acids, which help nourish, soften and support the skin’s natural moisture barrier. It has been used in traditional soapmaking for centuries because it produces a rich, creamy lather and a long-lasting bar.

No. We fragrance our products using carefully selected pure essential oils and achieve their beautiful colours with botanicals, clays and other naturally derived ingredients. We avoid artificial fragrances and synthetic colourants.

Every N.O.V.A soap is handcrafted in small batches. Slight variations in colour, shape and pattern are a natural part of the handmade process, making each bar unique while maintaining the same carefully balanced formulation.

With proper care, a N.O.V.A body soap bar typically lasts 1–3 months, depending on how frequently it is used and how well it is allowed to dry between uses.

Our shampoo bars typically last 2–4 months, and often even longer for those with shorter hair. Storing your bar on a well-draining soap dish will help maximise its lifespan.

Keep your soap on a draining soap dish where air can circulate freely. Allowing it to dry completely between uses helps it remain firm and significantly extends its lifespan.

We believe so. While the initial purchase price may be higher, N.O.V.A products are highly concentrated and designed to last significantly longer than many commercial alternatives. A single body soap bar typically lasts 1–3 months, meaning you’ll often use fewer bars over time.

When you combine their longevity with premium natural ingredients, traditional craftsmanship and functional formulations, N.O.V.A offers exceptional value—not simply a lower cost per bar, but a better investment in your skin.
