Meet Our New Pop-Up Designer, NES Soap!

A new pop-up designer has just arrived in-store at GUILD, NES Soap! This Dunedin Based brand will be popping up with us starting May 17, so make sure you get down to GUILD to check them out!

NES Soap was established in December 2020. Elza who is a professional makeup artist and Nathaniel a chef, the decision to begin NES Soap evolved from our passion for skincare and creativity and the excitement of seeing and making something that doesn’t yet exist.

Soap making brings together the skills of combining the right ingredients, fragrances and textures that meet the personal needs of the individual. Natural and aromatic products are better for your skin and in a small way better for our planet. We seek to source ingredients that are sustainable, natural, and pure. 

Elza is an experienced professional makeup artist who appreciates skin's health and beauty products. Based in New York for many years before coming to New Zealand to marry her husband Nathaniel. She works only using natural, ethically sourced products that had not been tested on animals.

Nathaniel first became interested in fragrances while visiting the Fragonard Perfumery in Paris more than 20 years ago. Working as a professional chef his skill involved the combination of food that was wonderful to see, taste and smell.

Together they make beautiful luxurious soaps and bath and body products that are nourishing to the skin and delightful to the senses.
