In a world where beauty and grooming were traditionally female-centric, the tide is shifting. NuNorm, a pioneering men’s grooming brand, is pushing boundaries and rewriting the narrative of self-care for men. What started as a father’s desire to see his son express himself without fear or judgment has grown into a movement that’s changing the grooming landscape forever.
Jeff Lau, the founder of NuNorm, never imagined that his simple observation of his son Quincy’s fearless self-expression would lead to the creation of a brand that would become a catalyst for the modern men's grooming revolution. With men’s self-care historically underrepresented in the beauty world, NuNorm aims to offer solutions that are not only practical but also empowering, breaking away from long-standing stereotypes about masculinity.
The Spark of Change: A Father’s Vision for Grooming
NuNorm’s story began at home,watching his son Quincy use makeup freely without fear of judgment. Seeing Quincy express himself through nail polish and concealer sparked something in Jeff Lau. He quickly realized that there was no brand out there designed specifically for men, one that not only addressed skin issues but also made men feel comfortable and confident in their self-care routine. Jeff envisioned a grooming brand that would be a safe space for men to embrace makeup without the typical stigmas attached to it.
This realization became the foundation for NuNorm, which was built to empower men to embrace their authentic selves. The brand’s mission was simple: to create high-quality, effective products that cater specifically to men’s needs. With NuNorm, Jeff wanted men to feel the same sense of freedom Quincy felt every time he used makeup.
Creating a Space for Men to Shine: The Challenges and Breakthroughs

From the beginning, NuNorm faced its share of hurdles,chief among them the societal stigma surrounding men using makeup. The beauty industry, for decades, had been geared toward women. Jeff’s challenge was creating a product line that would appeal to men who were seeking self-expression but were unsure how to navigate a world that was overwhelmingly female-focused when it came to cosmetics.
NuNorm's breakthrough came through its commitment to addressing the unique skin concerns that men face,oiliness, larger pores, patchy facial hair, and sensitivity. Each NuNorm product is not just about looks but also about providing real solutions to these issues. The clinical results were immediate, with NuNorm’s products seeing over 90% satisfaction rates across hydration, shine control, and ease of use.
One of the standout features that set NuNorm apart is its AI/AR Shade Finder Tool. In a world where shopping for makeup can often be overwhelming, especially when buying online, this innovation empowered men to confidently choose the right shades for their skin. The tool’s success was evident, boosting site engagement by 40%, a clear indication that men were ready for an accessible and innovative grooming solution that took the guesswork out of the equation.
NuNorm's Unique Approach: Building Confidence, Not Cosmetics
What makes NuNorm truly stand out in a crowded grooming market is its commitment to making grooming a seamless experience for men. Unlike traditional beauty brands that create products for women and hope men will adapt, NuNorm was designed from the ground up to meet the specific needs of men’s skin. With products that cater to issues like oil control, pore size, and patchy facial hair, every item in their line is clinically tested and proven effective.
The quick success of products like the Esquire Award-winning Quick Cover Stick and the AskMen Award-winning Brow Rescue Pencil solidified NuNorm’s place as a leader in the industry. These weren’t just products; they were innovations that served a distinct need in the market, addressing concerns that had been ignored by other brands.
“I want to make it clear that NuNorm is not just women’s makeup rebranded for men,” Jeff says. “What we really want to convey to men is that this is a product specifically designed for them. It’s been reformulated many times because we wanted to get the formula perfect for their skin issues.”
This unique, male-focused approach to grooming products is one of the key differentiators of NuNorm’s offering. But the brand doesn’t stop at just products,it’s about a shift in mindset. NuNorm is part of a movement that encourages men to take pride in their self-care routines without feeling pressured to conform to outdated norms. Whether it’s using makeup to cover up imperfections or experimenting with bold colors for self-expression, NuNorm champions the idea that grooming is an important part of self-love and self-confidence.
NuNorm’s Commitment to Mental Health and Sustainability
NuNorm’s values extend far beyond product development. Jeff Lau and his team are committed to making a difference in men’s lives in other significant ways, especially when it comes to mental health. With 2% of profits donated to men’s mental health organizations, NuNorm is more than just a grooming brand,it’s a force for positive change.
But the brand’s commitment doesn’t end there. Sustainability is at the heart of everything NuNorm does. Their products are packaged in FSC-certified materials, and they use PCR materials, biodegradable wipes, and even recycled leather travel bags. By choosing eco-friendly materials, NuNorm ensures that their grooming products are as kind to the planet as they are to their customers.
The Future of Grooming: What’s Next for NuNorm

Looking forward, Jeff sees an exciting future for NuNorm and the wider men’s grooming industry. “In 20 years, I want to look back and see a landscape where men have a wide variety of grooming products to choose from, and the idea that men can take care of their skin and express themselves freely is as commonplace as it is for women,” he says. “I hope to see 50 brands like NuNorm, each offering men products designed with their skin and needs in mind.”
For Jeff, it’s not just about creating a brand; it’s about creating a culture where men are no longer excluded from the beauty world, where self-expression is encouraged, and where confidence is fostered.
