We found this incredibly special brand while looking for natural face paints that our son would not cause our son's super sensitive skin to react. After many, many hours searching for a natural alternative we found No Nasties Kids. Shortly after we were fortunate to introduce No Nasties to NZ as the exclusive distributor.
Life is full of all kinds of twists and turns and we are so proud to now be the NZ licensee. Making what we can right here in NZ and bringing you the whole No Nasties range giving more children the ability to enjoy all the fun, without the nasties.
