One person.One studio.
Every jar of NKG Luxe is whipped, poured, and labeled by Nisa Grant — by hand, the day after you order it.
It startedin a kitchen.
In 2019, I was looking for a body butter that smelled like the desserts I grew up loving — not the cheap candy kind, but the warm, made-from-scratch kind. The kind that fills a kitchen.
I couldn't find it. So I started whipping shea butter at my apartment counter, testing fragrance blends until something finally smelled the way I remembered.
Friends asked for jars. Then their friends. Six years later, every batch is still whipped on a slow speed for 22 minutes, every label is hand-applied, and every package goes out with a note. The studio is bigger now. The process hasn't changed.
Hi, I'mNisa.
NKG Luxe started as a kitchen-counter experiment and turned into something I couldn't have imagined six years ago.
Every jar that ships from this studio is one I'd put on my own skin first. That's not a marketing line — it's the actual rule. If a batch isn't right, it doesn't go out.
I'm here to make body care that feels indulgent without being precious about it. Made in small batches, made by hand, made the way I'd want it made for me.

Threenon-negotiables.
Whipped by one pair of hands.
Every Core jar, every Couture EDP, every Ritual Set passes through the same kitchen, the same mixer, the same labeler. No outsourced manufacturing. No third-party fillers.
Made after you order.
Nothing sits on a warehouse shelf for six months. When you place an order, the batch goes on the next morning. That's why production takes 3–5 days — and why what arrives still smells the way it should.
Only what I'd wear myself.
Every scent on the menu gets six to eight months of testing on my own skin before it's offered to anyone else. If it doesn't make it past month four, it never makes it onto the website.
From sheato shelf.
No machinery does the work. Every step happens by hand, on a kitchen counter in New York.
Source cold-pressed.
Raw shea butter and mango butter, cold-pressed and unrefined. No bleaching. No deodorizing. The base smells like a forest, before scent goes in.
Whip for 22 minutes.
A slow, steady whip incorporates air and softens the butter until it spreads like silk. Anything faster and the texture goes grainy. Anything slower and it never sets right.
Pour, label, seal.
Each jar is filled, capped, labeled, and placed in NKG packaging by hand. Then a quick smell test on every single one before it goes in the box.
Luxury is not about how much something costs. It's about how much care went into the version sitting in your hands.
