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

My daughter loved her selection of products especially. The shaving whip . All products smell beautiful.
I had my products delivered this morning and used them all straight away. The way the products glide on to the skin and how little product you actually need is amazing. The smell is so refreshing and got a compliment on the smell of the body butter from my husband. Will definitely be ordering again when I start to get low.
The rainbow fluff is really nice smells good and is really good for my sensitive skin.
Smells amazing and definitely the best body scrub 😍
I am loving using the wow products. The Ready to Glow cream is hydrating and works so well alongside any of the serums. My skin is glowing since I started using this.
Absolutely adore these products! My absolute favourite!
Loved it so far, skin feels so much clearer
Smells amazing
Yummy. This moisturiser smells like strawberries and cream. Perfect for the summer and long lasting smell. Grest for layering perfume or just as a moisturiser. Leaves skin silky smooth. Love it. On my second tub. Now need shampoo, conditioner and body mist and a perfume in this range .
I absolutely love this cream. The quality far exceeds some of the luxury branded creams it gets compared with (I can think of 2 in particular) but for me the results are much better. I love the sheen that the natural nut oils give my skin and the hydration that lasts well over 24 hours. I’m keen to explore the hibiscus scent too which might be more versatile for cooler weather. A bigger size would definitely be helpful in the future if that could be an option! Well done for creating such a dreamy product range!!
Just gorgeous great results and body butter makes my skin feel great. Will buy again and for friends and family.
Love love love this moisturiser, makes my skin feel so soft and smells absolutely gorgeous..
What a great product
3 products that all smell amazing and they all work well
Fabulous stuff that smells absolutely divine. I bought the strawberries and cream shave trio and my daughter is now addicted to the cloud fluff! Won’t contemplate using anything else. Only problem is she uses it up too quickly. Will keep buying.
Super moistening products !
