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,

Has a gentle scent that doesn't intrude & leaves my skin hydrated, soft and smooth.
My teen daughter loves wow you products. She loved the smell and feel on her skin and her skin is healthy and glows. Lovely presentation for the gift box- simple and pretty.
I love using this product and feel my skin feels brighter and my make up goes on better
I believe I came across this during lockdown and have used it ever since, I love how it feels, how it makes my skin feel, no tightness or dryness after use. Love it!
works for my skin so well and smells heavenly🥰also cruelty free !!!!
I've been using this serum for about three years off and on, because I've been experimenting with other serums, but I always return to the superserum. Brexit has made it more expensive to ship, so I make sure I order a couple of serums whenever I visit the UK.
I have recently come back to this skincare after two years. I wanted some mini pieces to take in my hand luggage. What a difference this made to my skin in four days. I’ll be staying with this and not going back to anything else.
This kit lasts way longer than you think too so it’s perfect.
Really lovely. My 13 year old swears by it at keeping her skin clear. Recommend
Honestly I also love the Glow To Sleep as well. Can’t go wrong with either! As always keeps my skin hydrated and spot free 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🥰
These products are absolutely fantastic and this set makes a lovely gift.
Smells lovely and my skin feels amazing after use.
This product is fab, i'm about to order again. It smells lush and makes my skin feel super smooth. Even if it didn't work, i'd use it for the smell.
These products are lush. They smell amazing, my skin is quite sensitive and they worked really well - normally i can't use anything with a nice scent so this is a fab find for me.
Perfect night cream! I've used this night cream for ages and my skin looks better day after day! And the smell is amazing! I nice little treat just before going to bed, I love it!
This is my everyday cream, I use it before makeup, after night cleansing, I LOVE IT. Everyone should give it a go!
