Frequently asked questions

Nuniq products are packed with highly efficient superfoods that feed your hair, skin, and the planet. Delivered to your door in refillable, reusable and recyclable packaging the planet loves. And not just for its looks.

We have never. And we would never.

We knew you’d come around. Go to shop, choose your product(s), type in your credit card details and wait patiently by the door (optional) until your package arrives. Tear it open, take some pictures and be sure to tag us on Instagram (so we can shower you with love and champagne and feature you in our planet pleasing love club). Then, we suggest you get naked and get to work.

Buying our reusable glass and aluminum bottles and refills remove the need for potentially millions of single-use bottles. Rest in pieces, plastic.

Plastic usually doesn’t biodegrade and remains in the environment for around 400 years. This causes problems, particularly for marine ecosystems. Unfortunately, production of plastic is still increasing. Single-use plastic packaging today makes up 36% of municipal waste in Europe. At Nuniq, we not only say that we care. We take action.

Only 5% of all plastic ever made has been recycled into new plastics. While recycling won’t solve our plastic problem, reusing will. Using biodegradable materials (found in our refills bags and many of our superfood ingredients), helps too.

See our impact page. Have thoughts on the way we do things? We’re always open to improving how we make and source our products, so if you have any suggestions, we’re all ears... err, eyes, at hello@nuniq.io

We all know how the story goes. You could go ahead and recycle empty packaging, but this doesn’t mean it’ll be recycled. Enter biodegradable packaging. Meaning whether the refill bag ends up in oceans, lakes, soils, landfills, swamps, or forests, the full bag – zipper included – will biodegrade and return to Mother Nature.

Paper outside, biofoil inside. To get all science-y, the biofoil has an additive made from a blend of organic compounds which, in the presence of microbes, creates an enzyme that breaks down the long chain of molecules in plastic. This process allows the microbes to ‘consume’ the plastic, leaving behind only water, CO2, and a small amount of organic biomass. All beneficial for plant growth. This is how the pouches biodegrade. This is also why you’ll often find us saying: eat this, nature.

It’s as simple as choosing strawberry over vanilla ice cream. Rinse your reusable Nuniq bottle with warm tap water – thoroughly (we’ll be watching). Empty the full refill product into the cleansed bottle and you’re good to wash, later, rinse, repeat.

We like your thinking. If you’re not ready to refill, store the unopened refill bag in a cool and dry place. Once opened, don’t leave the product in the refill bag.

Let’s see… if one refillable pouch is 250 ml, you use around 10 ml per wash (about 2 teaspoons), and wash your hair “x” times a week… well, we’ll leave you to do the math.

Till death do you part. No, really. Our bottles are made for a good time, a long time or for as long as you like. To be refilled and reused over and over. And if the love goes missing? Simply recycle.

Rinse well after each use and avoid dropping/throwing it – it has feelings.

We like that you’re losing control over this. We would, too. All orders are shipped within 48 business hours from our Warehouse. Shipping times vary depending on where you are, but normally it will take from 2 to 4 days. The below timeframes do not include weekends or public holidays as our fulfilment center is closed, and we’re probably at home making G+T’s, having kitchen dance parties. Also, the post office is shut.

You can return the products you want from your order within 14 calendar days from the day you receive the products and we will issue you a refund.

If you have changed your mind about your order or have had a mistake when doing so, don’t worry! The products to be returned must be in the same condition in which they were received; unopened and with original packaging and box.

Derived from unique, Nuniq means we challenge the beauty industry’s one size fits all approach and create real beauty for real people. Complicated emotions and all. Makes sense? In time it will, young one, in time it will.

Excellent question. Nuniq was created for less waste and more good. This means we create products that give you less bad hair days and less fuss when it comes to leading a sustainable lifestyle. More good = more time doing whatever. As for why you should use it? That, dear rebel, is entirely up to you.

Ever found yourself asking: “Why the F should I have to compromise between having fresh, good-looking, and oh so smooth hair and being a decent human being to Mother Earth and all animal life?” This… this is who Nuniq is for.

No, no it isn’t. Instead of rambling up all the things that make our products really good, we’ll leave you to read all the pretty love notes sent from our planet pleasers. As for some planet-friendly sayings, go to ourimpact page.

Have we met? Are you also a Gin and Tonic-sipping individual who thinks having chocolate cake for breakfast is not only fully acceptable, but common sense? Jump to our contact page to enquire about becoming a stockist and we’ll get back to you long before you know it.
