Hello! 😊👋
I'm Ella and here's my partner Leo, together we're the co-founders of WOW YOU!
A few of you have been asking about how we started our company so I wanted to let you know the story behind our brand and why we created our range of naturally powered skincare!
In 2017 I was diagnosed with Coeliac disease, making me highly sensitive to gluten. This caused a huge change in diet and meant spending hours in the supermarket reading ingredients lists! 📄
Paying way more attention to something I’d previously taken for granted made me start to question not only what I was putting in my body, but what I was putting on it too!
Then my eczema flared up and the “sensitive” skincare products I tried to soothe it with just ended up irritating my skin further and when I read the ingredients I started to understand why!
Although aimed at helping sensitive skin, I found that they actually contained harsh ingredients and fragrances! I was really surprised by the number of ingredients that I couldn’t recognise or even pronounce.
I became obsessed with researching clean skincare but really struggled to find products using natural actives and no harsh fragrances which were cruelty free and still within my price range!
Leo suggested to me, “Why don’t we create the skincare solution you’re looking for?” and it was a real light bulb moment for us! 💡
We set about creating & designing the affordable cruelty free skincare I wanted to use, focussing on naturally powerful actives and leaving out all the nasties (parabens, sulphates, drying alcohol & harsh synthetic fragrances).
WOW YOU! launched in August 2018 and we have been absolutely blown away by all the super positive feedback from our wonderful customers and followers since then. We are incredibly greatful for all your support! 🙏💕
We love helping you find the right products for your skin and we’re always happy to help out with your questions! I've struggled with my skin which has really helped me to understand and relate to that feeling of wanting to find high quality skincare that really works (without breaking the bank!)
Thank you for stopping by, as a small independent business it really means the world to us that you took the time to read our story! We can’t wait to share all our exciting news coming up soon, you can follow us on Instagram or subscribe to our newsletter below for all the latest announcements 😘.
We're going to start doing more blog posts too - if there's anything you'd like to learn more about, or any skincare questions you have, we'd love to hear from you in the comments below 😊.
Love,
Ella, Leo,
Zen & Jaz

Bought the fluff scrub rainbow duo. Always hated scrubs in the past and have avoided using them as they have always left a sticky oil residue that I couldn’t stand the feel of. This smelt great and worked great and my skin feels so smooth and luxurious. Fluff also worked a treat for shaving my legs. Will definitely be buying again.
They all smell lovely and make my skin really soft and smooth!
I’ve ordered the rainbow body butter which arrived very quickly. It has a very nice whipped cream like texture which turns into a lotion-like cream. It sinks in well which is nice and smells lovely - sweet smell but not sickly or overpowering. I will definitely order from Wow You again.
These 3 jars are such a game changer! I absolutely love them, it made my shaving routine become so much more enjoyable. The smell is incredible, and oh the CONSISTENCY! Like a sweet cloud, so satisfying to use. And works great. And the parcel itself was so cute and thoughtful 🩷 Definitely worth the money.
I've always been a Elizabeth Arden girl but lately I've been struggling with break outs and acne type skin. I bought the skin care package and it has cleared my face up! The moisturisers are so hydrating and the cleanser really does it job. It has become apart of my day to day routine! I love this product and the best part is it's affordable!!
I love both of these products, they work really well and both smell amazing. The scrub foams up really well and I get a close shave with the butter. There are also no nasties in the ingredients! Highly recommend
Love this scrub! The texture is lovely, it doesn't feel rough on your skin like previous scrubs I've used and it really does stick to the skin so you don't end up with the bottom of the shower full of sugar.
It left my skin really soft, it is gentle but effective enough that it sorted out my dry knees!
The scent is sweet but subtle....an all round winner!!
Gorgeous colour & smell, fantastic customer service - I love Wow You. Their products helped clear my stubborn acne. I was excited to try this; a little bit goes a long way! It turns into a lovely creamy texture which enables a very close shave. I have found their customer service to be more than 5 stars - a lot of businesses could learn from Wow You. Thank you - I will be recommending to friends & family.
I found these products excellent and just right for my 58 year old skin. Not to much not too little. Just right! Love the serum
I’ve been using Wow You Skincare for a long time, as someone with severe eczema and sensitive skin I’ve always struggled to find skincare that didn’t make me have a flare up but also didn’t feel like the usual medicated skincare for eczema. Wow You! Is absolutely the best skincare I’ve ever used, it’s done wonders for my skin and never caused me and issue or irritated my skin. It smells STUNNING and lasts for so long. 10000% would recommend all products - including the new body butters and shave creams to everyone, no matter the skin type and will continue to buy and try their products and any new ones they bring out. Thank you SO much for helping me feel better in my own skin🥰
The product felt really nice, although didn't suit my skin, broke out in huge rash and spots. I wouldn't let that put anyone off it just wasn't for me.
We are on I think our third or fourth maybe more time of buying and we will continue to come back for more. My daughter and I love the moisturisers.
Very good serum
Excellent serum
Great night cream
