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 🫶

If your weekend is taking you to the Lakes… 🦢

I’m so happy to have my little collection of ECOnsider goodies at in beautiful Windermere.

I first delivered stock here over the summer, and it feels rather lovely knowing that my handmade self-care has found a home in such a beautiful part of the world.

If you’re heading to Windermere, pop in and have a browse. You’ll find lots of lovely gifts from independent makers, including some gorgeous Lake District-inspired pieces – perfect if you’re looking for something a little special to take home with you.

Have a lovely weekend, wherever it takes you. 🫶

This last week has been all about making up some brand new soaps which I can't wait to launch soon 👏
All I'll say is that I got to play with chocolate - a lot 🍫😊

Stay tuned for updates in the next few weeks.

In the meantime find all your self care routine essentials on my page 🫶

✨ A little more self love, just in time for cosy season… ✨

My Self Love Aromatherapy Wax Melts are BACK IN STOCK! 🤍

There’s something about lighting a candle or popping a wax melt on as the evenings get darker that just makes home feel that little bit more cosy.

And Self Love is made for those moments when you want to slow down, switch off and give yourself a little bit of TLC.

🌿 Ylang Ylang • Maritime Pine • Geranium

Hand-poured in small batches using pure essential oils and odourless coconut wax — a beautiful, natural way to bring a little fragrance and calm into your home.

Consider this your reminder to make some time for you. ✨

Available now on the website.

As the days slowly start to get shorter, September feels like the perfect time to bring a little more self-care into your routine. 🍂✨

Take a few extra minutes after your shower, warm up our Indulgence Lotion Bar and let it glide over your skin, leaving it soft, nourished and beautifully scented with Lavender, Rose Geranium & Frankincense.

A little moment of pampering, just for you.

Slowly but surely, getting there...

The studio is starting to feel more organised, batches are being made, ingredients are arriving and I’m getting back into my usual rhythm.

And two of your favourites are BACK IN STOCK! 🙌

🌿 Natural Deodorant – a gentle, effective natural deodorant balm with refreshing Peppermint & Lemon essential oils to help keep you feeling fresh throughout the day.

🍊 Natural Body Butter – rich and nourishing, with an uplifting blend of Grapefruit & Ylang Ylang. It melts beautifully into the skin, leaving it soft, smooth and delicately scented — and a little goes a long way.

Both freshly made in small batches, as always. 🫶

If you’ve been waiting… they’re back!
