I thought it was probably time I introduced myself again. 😊
I’m Nicole, the face (and hands!) behind ECOnsider.
I’m 45 (still!), a wife and a mum of two, originally from Germany. I moved to the UK about 14 years ago and now live in a lovely little village in West Lancashire, where I make all my products in my cosy studio.
I’m bilingual, half German and half British, and I’ve always loved creating things. Long before ECOnsider came along, I was working in the corporate world, but alongside my career I was exploring my interest in skincare and natural ingredients. I studied beauty therapy and went on to immerse myself in courses and learning around natural skincare and formulation.
I started ECOnsider around 6 years ago, initially from a desire to create natural products for myself and my family, and it has grown into a business that has become such a big part of my life.
I make everything myself in small batches, using carefully chosen natural ingredients, essential oils, clays and botanicals. There is something I find incredibly satisfying about taking a handful of ingredients and turning them into something beautiful and useful.
And there’s one person who deserves a little mention here too — my mum.
She was my biggest cheerleader and absolutely loved ECOnsider. Some of my favourite memories are of the little sessions we had together in my studio when she came to visit. She'd potter around, ask questions, admire what I was making and always made me feel incredibly proud of what I was building.
She sadly passed away suddenly a couple of years ago, and I still think about those moments often — especially when I'm in the studio creating or when I start doubting myself. 🤍
These days, ECOnsider is about creating little moments that help you slow down and reconnect with yourself — something I think we all need a little more of sometimes.
So, if you're new here, hello! 👋🏻 And if you've been here for a while, thank you for being here.
Happy Friday beautiful souls 🫶
