The making of a visionary millennial

About Paulina

Paulina is originally from Poland, has lived abroad for the past 25 years and since 2014 she lives in Switzerland. She has studied in Italy and continued her education in China where she studied Chinese language and business administration.

It was in China that she moved her first steps as entrepreneur co-launching an Italian restaurant franchise and helping with establishment of several international trade business.

Her personal mission statement: “I want to live in a world where people are equally valued despite gender or race”.

Her Vision

Paula worked for various international corporations in different countries and especially in a man driven environment. Unfortunately, as this happened to many other women like Paula, it´s easy to struggle to find the right job without having nonduty expectations, have equality in job opportunity due to some stereotypes especially in traditional societies. It is also difficult to be recognized professionally during the career development as many occupations are perceived as “a man thing only”.

Paula strong will to change this condition led her to visualize and acknowledge that the key was in her hands, instead of accepting passively the situation, she started to create something on her own. “In my personal opinion success means to be able living your life the way you may find more enjoyment and fulfillment”.

Her Challenges

As Paula states: “Becoming an entrepreneur is not something that happens overnight. There are many things to consider and especially it requires commitment, hard work and patience.” With a full time job that took all day, she had to work over evenings, weekends and holidays to be able to materialize her idea. Besides the time, also the know-how was a challenge as the concept was new field which Paula had to discover and master as well. It took lot of networking and investment participating in trainings, exhibitions and conferences to get a good level of expertise.

Following her visionary entrepreneurship and the strong desire to overcome the situation and the challenges, she finally co-founded NUME-Lab, a Swiss firm that provides Halal skin care products.

The Idea: NUME-Lab

The idea of NUME-Lab took 3 years, from the concept to manufacturing. At the time together with her husband, they were reviewing their bathroom beauty stash and noticed that some products had low efficacy despite the fancy advertisement, some were often overlapping in terms of functioning, some of them were very expensive and all this was generating waste in terms of unused number of products and money spent.

This situation pushed them to find the right combination of products, clean from harsh ingredients, with high efficacy formulas, products which are essential to a basic skin care routine and finally at affordable price.

Through the experience of living abroad especially in high polluted countries and the extensive global modern women network created during the years, she anticipated a market demand of halal skin care products that requires clean products from any harsh and toxic ingredients, alcohol free and followed an ethical approach from the selection of raw material until the distribution.

Moreover, NUME-Lab gives a freedom of choice to women who follow different lifestyles and have different needs. NUME-Lab goes beyond skin care and for her and her husband it is a bridge between different cultures and promotion of diversity.

Finally, as a female entrepreneur, she strongly wants to highlight the idea behind the products, the fact that women can achieve whatever they desire and motivate them to achieve it. She wants to empower women, share positive energy, promote diversity and to educate next generations that women can become whatever they decide to be.

Product Insight:

All products are formulated and produced in Switzerland to assure that everyone can benefit from the highest safety and quality standards. All products are also certified Halal which reflects once again their values to respect different habits by giving a freedom of choice.

NUME-Lab believes that the skin is our best accessory and it is not negotiable that proper skin care is the right thing to do to. In this busy lifestyle with higher and higher standard expectations and increasing pollution how we could take care of ourselves investing the essential time only?

NUME-Lab suggests 4 basic step skin care routine for a glowing, fresher look:
Cleanse Treat  Exfoliate  Beauty Sleep

Based on the 4-step skin care routine NUME-Lab has formulated the Renaissance daily skin care set.

Like in the Botticelli´s renaissance painting “The Birth of Venus” where Venus born out of sea foam and came ashore on a shell, NUME-Lab is committed to put their clients on the Venus´ shell and start their own Skin Renaissance experience.

 

Brand journey status:

NUME-LAB is collaborating on ethical basis to launch and to make the products available in North America, France and Switzerland. It is also developing other products to be launched in beginning of 2021. The brand is in developing phase and this is why they are exploring different channels to create brand awareness and build a strong customer trust.

As part of the NUME-Lab vision their ultimate target is also to give back, therefore they are already discussing development of some interesting projects where NUME-lab could participate socially.
