ABOUT NAIRIAN
OUR STORY
NATURAL SKINCARE CREATED WITH REAL INGREDIENTS AND ETHICAL PRODUCTION.
Nairian was founded by a family and has grown into a flourishing local business. Our home is in the highlands of Armenia, a small country full of sunshine and nutrient-rich volcanic soil that enhance our locally-sourced ingredients. Because we care about the earth’s future, Nairian operates on a sustainable farm that supports a small village with jobs and agricultural development.
To ensure the highest quality, we grow our ingredients organically and monitor the production process from seed to bottle. At Nairian, we believe beauty shouldn’t compromise health—for our customers or the planet—so we never put parabens, sulfates, harmful chemicals, or artificial dyes in our products. The world is fraught with difficult choices, which is why we created Nairian to be an easy investment in something positive for our customers, small communities, and the environment.
The Nairian team is eager to challenge unhealthy beauty standards that tell people how they should look and be. Our products are developed in a lab run by women and men who create Nairian for themselves, their families and friends. Together, we are a community redefining what natural beauty means for us.

ARMENIA
Where Nature, Tradition, and Science Come Together
From snow-capped mountains to gentle rolling hills and flowering valleys, Armenia houses a breathtaking natural world. Seven of the twelve climate zones are represented here, and on average the country receives seven hours of direct sunlight per day. This spectrum of climates nurtures an incredible biodiversity, including over 1200 plant species which have potent medicinal properties, and are ideal for producing the highest quality essential oils.
Throughout the centuries Armenia has cultured a profound tradition of herbalism. Ancient knowledge of the plant-world has been passed down from one generation to the next, and many communities, especially in the rural regions of Armenia, still harvest a variety of wild plants to use for both food and medicinal purposes. This incredible relationship with the natural world is part of what inspired us to establish Nairian in this small corner of the Caucasus.
While the natural world of Armenia is abundant and its traditional herbalism prolific, the country is also a historical hub for the advanced natural sciences. During the Soviet era, Armenia was one of the most celebrated chemical research centers of the USSR. Still today, Armenia takes great pride in its five major universities and numerous research labs. One of Nairian’s goals is to harness this scientific tradition, and incorporate the vast brain-power of Armenia into our own research processes.
When purchasing a Nairian product, you are acquiring something that was made using the highest quality ingredients, grown in a diverse and clean environment. Moreover, you are investing in a culture that celebrates both the ancient traditions of Armenian herbalism, and the cutting-edge of research in chemistry, cosmetology, physics, biology, horticulture, and aromatherapy.
THE ECO-FARM
The Nairian farm sits on the East slope of Mount Ara at an altitude of 1600 meters, in a picturesque village called Aragyugh. By keeping our farm sustainable and pesticide-free, we are able fully harness this potential, and ensure the quality of our ingredients.
