Maybe you think body care is boring or isn’t a big deal but that’s because you haven’t tried NERRĀ yet. This four step hammam-inspired routine gave me the softest skin I’ve had since the day I was born. Yeah, I said it. Keep scrolling to find out the who, what, when, where and why re this hot brand that’s got my skin looking and feeling five-star fabulous.

I’m here to spill the tea (or should I say, bath salts?) on why NERRĀ isn’t just another pretty face in the body care world because *spoiler alert*: NERRĀ is basically like treating yourself to a luxurious bathhouse experience, without needing to charter a private jet. And you need to know about this brand, like yesterday.
So grab your favorite robe and a glass of something bubbly (because why not?), and let’s dive into why NERRĀ is about to become the world’s next biggest bodycare obsession.
Who is NERRĀ?
This brand originally caught my eye because of their lewk (super sexy) but then I saw they were COSMOS ECOCERT Organic certified and I almost sh*t myself.
To catch you up to speed the COSMOS certification in general is the gold standard of all “clean beauty” certifications. COSMOS actually has two certifications: natural and organic. NERRĀ has the COSMOS Organic certification which is the stricter of the two and therefore basically the strictest on the planet.
But that’s just a starting point for NERRĀ. In addition, I absolutely SWEAT the fact that they do not tout themselves as “natural” or “clean” or “healthy” or any of those buzzwords that most brands use to get you to believe in and buy their products. They are just out there, standing in their power like THIS IS HOW WE DO. (This is so refreshing!). It’s like setting a new standard without saying a word and I’m obsessed with this.
NERRĀ co-founder Teyma Touati grew up in Carthage, Tunisia, practicing hammam with her family within sight of the ruins of the Roman Baths of Antoninus. After relocating abroad she set out to create an at-home hamman-style experience using her expertise in cosmetic science, combining modern advancements with ancient wisdom and tradition.
Basically this is getting old world tradition mixed with modern science. It’s the best of both worlds and the results are next level. But I’m not the only one taking notice, expect to see this brand in a coveted department v soon.
I tried NERRĀ’s 4 piece Bathhouse Ritual
I recently busted out the NERRĀ body care set after spending 72 straight hours in a dust bowl of red clay at a youth travel baseball tournament in the deep south. I came home covered in grit and was craving a full body exfoliation.
That’s when I first tried NERRĀ and IDK why I didn’t try this sooner because let me be the first to say, I’VE BEEN MISSING OUT—and you have too.
Guys. My skin has never felt SO soft, clean and invigorated. This ritual leveled up my body care in a way I didn’t even know was possible and I will NEVER go back.
How to use NERRĀ’s Bathhouse Ritual
The Bathhouse Ritual includes 4 products and when you use them together it creates an experience that transcends any other I’ve tried. It brings me back to that time I went to a Moroccan Hammam—all that’s missing is someone to wash you!
It’s available in 2 scent options: Jasmine Wood or fragrance free. I have it in Jasmine Wood and the scent is divine. (P.S. Isn’t this packing GORGEOUS?!).
Step 1: Pre-Exfoliating Foam – Ok, yes, this sounds excessive but trust me, you need this. This is a dead-skin-lifting soap that the brand describes as being like shaving cream to a razor. Just wait till you see the rolls of skin start to peel off via the Exfoliating Glove after using this. Satisfaction city!
Step 2: Exfoliating Body Glove – This custom glove is super, super, super THIN and dries almost instantly so it doesn’t mold or smell bad or retain water…like ever. Also the material has a gritty mesh texture to it that helps scrub off dead skin cells like a freggin’ boss. (Side note: if you buy the full ritual it includes two mitts!). Lastly this mitt is INNOVATION as it’s the first Microbiome-Friendly Certified exfoliating glove EVER!
Step 3: Body Wash – Not just another feel good body wash, this wash also hydrates, plumps and moisturizes while fortifying the skin barrier. Love the pump and the packaging and this looks super sexy in my shower.
Last step: Dry Body Oil – I’m OBSESSED with the Dry Body Oil. This is a dry oil that (get this) SPRAYS out. It’s super moisturizing without being greasy and is giving old school Skin So Soft but in an elevated I-am-the-chicest type of way. (Between you and me, I’m low key hyperventilating because my Dry Body Oil is almost gone).

When I jumped on the phone with co-founder Fares Benouhiba a few weeks ago he told me there is A LOT more to come and I’ll be here on the edge of my seat, WAITING.
But in the meantime, they also offer the CUTEST sustainable straw tote that Claire on our team is obsessed with and uses daily—think elevated work bag, chic farmers market tote and stylish mom carryall all rolled into one. I have it too and agree, it is v cute. I love it specifically because it’s a statement piece without being oversized and is very easy to use.
I love, love, love this set for myself but honestly, buy this as a gift for anyone on your list this year. The packaging, presentation and transcending experience make this a no brainer!
