Meet Desré: The Heart and Soul of Nu Allumé

Nu Allumé Founder Desré

Desré has never been one to follow the current, she’s always carved her own path. As a globally recognised whitewater sports photographer, she spent years chasing the perfect shot in some of the world’s most extreme environments. Later, she harnessed that same drive to shape digital strategies for global brands as a sought-after Meta marketer.

But at 45, when she entered peri-menopause, she faced a challenge that no existing skincare truly addressed, skin that was evolving in ways the beauty industry had long overlooked.

Determined to change the narrative, she took matters into her own hands. 18 months of rigorous research, cutting-edge formulation, and microbiome innovation led to the birth of Nu Allumé, the world’s first skincare line to recognise the vital link between the microbiome and menopause.

Today, her pioneering vision is transforming the way women experience skincare. Powered by next-generation DNA sequencing and microbiome technology, Nu Allumé delivers scientifically formulated solutions that target the unique concerns of menopausal skin, so women can embrace their next chapter with confidence, radiance, and skin that truly thrives.

OUR MISSION: SKINCARE THAT GETS YOU

Let’s be real, menopause changes everything, including your skin. Yet, the beauty industry still treats it like just another aging concern. That’s why we created the world’s first microbiome-focused skincare line designed exclusively for menopausal skin.

At Nu Allumé, we believe your skin deserves more than just hydration and "anti-aging" promises, it deserves science-backed solutions that work with your body, not against it. Our mission is to restore balance, resilience, and confidence to your skin during this transition, so you can look and feel your best at every stage.

OUR APPROACH: NOT JUST SKINCARE, SCIENCECARE

Menopausal skin isn’t just aging skin, it’s evolving skin. That’s why our approach goes beyond hydration and collagen support. We use the latest microbiome research to develop scientifically-backed formulas to help rebalance and strengthen the skin’s natural ecosystem.

We’ve carefully formulated solutions that target dryness, sensitivity, loss of elasticity, and barrier disruption, ensuring menopausal skin is not just treated, but nurtured and restored. Every product is powered by prebiotics, postbiotics, and skin-repairing actives, creating a skincare system that works with your skin.

OUR PHILOSOPHY: WORKING WITH YOUR SKIN, NOT AGAINST IT

We don’t believe in quick fixes or marketing hype, we believe in smart skincare that adapts to your changing needs.

Instead of disrupting your skin with harsh actives, we use prebiotics and postbiotics to support the good bacteria that keep your skin glowing. Instead of fighting menopause, we embrace it, helping your skin thrive during this natural transition. Instead of chasing youth, we celebrate experience, strength, resilience, and confidence.

Your skin is evolving. We’re here to help it.

OUR COMMITMENT: MORE THAN A SKIN BRAND, A MOVEMENT

We are not just creating skincare, we are redefining how menopause is addressed in beauty. Every formula we develop is backed by science and created in collaboration with microbiome scientists in Australia, ensuring our products are not only effective but also deeply rooted in the latest skin research.

Our commitment to microbiome-focused innovation means we avoid harsh chemicals and unnecessary fillers, using only high-performance, skin-loving ingredients that restore balance, hydration, and resilience. This is skincare designed exclusively for menopausal skin, no repurposed anti-aging formulas, no one-size-fits-all solutions, just products that truly understand what your skin needs during this stage of life.

Menopause isn’t the end of great skin, it’s the beginning of a new chapter, one that deserves smarter, more sophisticated care. Welcome to skincare that finally gets it.
