From Vision to Online Success: The Nyarai Skincare Story
Client Background
Nyarai Skincare was founded in 2020 by Warrenesha Nyarai Arnold, a nutritionist and entrepreneur with a deeply personal mission: to create natural, plant-based skincare specifically formulated for people of color with sensitive skin.
Nyarai’s journey began with her own skin struggles, acne, hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and chemical burns caused by harsh products. Unable to find safe, effective solutions in the market, she turned to her background in Human Nutrition & Dietetics, later advancing with a Master’s in Product & Innovation and a Graduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship from the University of Arkansas.
Her philosophy is simple yet powerful: “If you wouldn’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin.” This belief fueled her research into natural, plant-based ingredients that could heal her skin and boost confidence. In June 2019, she began working on her products, and by 2020, at the height of the pandemic, she officially launched Nyarai Skincare.
Since then, the brand has grown into a trusted name in clean beauty, offering sustainable skincare solutions that help people of color combat acne, hyperpigmentation, and sensitive skin concerns. Beyond skincare, Nyarai empowers teenagers by teaching them about natural product formulation, bridging education, entrepreneurship, and wellness.
It is featured across respected platforms and building a loyal community, Nyarai Skincare embodies authenticity, resilience, and inclusivity, values that needed to shine through its digital presence.
The Challenge
When Nyarai approached eWebWorld, the brand faced challenges common to growing skincare startups:
- No Dedicated Online Storefront: While products had strong potential, there wasn’t yet a structured eCommerce platform to reach customers directly.
- Design & Storytelling Gap: The brand’s authenticity and founder-driven story weren’t being showcased online.
- Competitive Market: Clean beauty is crowded; to stand out, Nyarai needed both credibility and customer-friendly design.
- Content & SEO Needs: Without blogs or optimization, Nyarai risked being invisible in search results.
- Scalability: As the product range expanded, the store needed to adapt quickly without compromising UX.
Nyarai needed not just a website, but Shopify experts who could blend design, storytelling, and performance into a seamless shopping experience.
The Solution: Shopify as the Foundation
To bring Nyarai’s vision online, eWebWorld designed and built a Shopify store using a clean, minimalist approach that mirrored the brand’s plant-based, clinical-meets-natural identity.
Our contributions included:
- Design & Development: Custom Shopify design tailored to Nyarai’s aesthetic, balanced white space, earthy accents, and user-friendly navigation.
- SEO Setup (Ongoing): Keyword research, meta descriptions, blog strategy, and technical SEO optimizations to build organic visibility.
- Blog Content Creation: Writing skincare blogs that educate customers, drive traffic, and boost authority.
- Ongoing Maintenance & Growth: Regular updates to product pages, new launches, and UX improvements.
- Brand Storytelling: Infusing Nyarai’s founder story and mission across the site to build trust and relatability.
Implementation Process
