Our story

Welcome to Nizma Skincare — where natural beauty meets science. Proudly Black woman-owned and based in the Pacific Northwest, we specialize in plant-based skincare created to nourish, protect, and celebrate melanin-rich skin.

Founded in 2022 by Ayan Osman, an immigrant from a small village in Uganda and the youngest of nine siblings, Nizma is a brand born from passion, purpose, and personal experience. Having struggled with hormonal acne since her teenage years, Ayan found that conventional products didn’t offer the healing she needed. Instead, she turned to nature — embracing plant-based remedies to heal her skin, mind, and body holistically.

Inspired by her upbringing and the strength of her mother, Ayan created Nizma Skincare to offer clean, effective, and thoughtful products that truly honor the skin we’re in.

Each product is carefully crafted using powerful botanical ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, rose, lavender, and green tea — chosen for their ability to soothe, hydrate, and transform skin naturally. Our formulations address real concerns like acne, dryness, and signs of aging, all while being cruelty-free, vegan, and made with care.

We’re deeply grateful you’re here. Thank you for visiting our site, supporting our mission, and becoming part of the Nizma journey.
