Noén: The Brand That’s Making Aftercare Sexy
In the bustling heart of New York City, a revolution in intimacy is quietly unfolding. Noén, the brainchild of visionaries Natalie Mankarious and Marisa Goldstein, is not just another sexual wellness company—it’s a movement that’s set to redefine how we think about sex, wellness, and self-care.
The Afterglow Revolution
Let’s be real: we’ve all been there. The passionate moments have passed, and suddenly you’re left in that awkward post-coital limbo. Enter Noén’s After Play Oil, the luxurious solution to an age-old dilemma. This isn’t just another body oil; it’s a gateway to extending intimacy long after the main event.
“Post-play is more than just clean-up—it’s a crucial part of intimacy,” says co-founder Natalie Mankarious. “It’s the moment we reconnect, reflect, and care for each other or ourselves in meaningful ways.”
Meet the Masterminds
Natalie Mankarious and Marisa Goldstein recognized a gap in the market that was begging to be filled. With backgrounds in strategy and design across wellness, beauty, and sexuality, they’ve created a brand that seamlessly blends all three.
“We wanted to create something that bridges the gap between sex and life—an offering for a moment that often gets forgotten,” explains Marisa. “We believe intimacy doesn’t end when the act does; it evolves.”
Their vision? To create products that aren’t just for the bedroom, but for life. Noén is about embracing intimacy in all its forms—from steamy encounters to self-care Sundays.
More Than Just Oil
The After Play Oil is packed with superpower ingredients like Blue Lotus, Calendula, Moringa, and Beta Caryophyllene. But don’t let the exotic names fool you—this concentrated blend is all about soothing, nurturing, and extending those precious intimate moments.
Whether you’re flying solo or coupling up, this oil is designed to make your post-play ritual something to look forward to. It’s especially a godsend for those who deal with inflammation or irritation after getting down and dirty.
A Cultural Movement
Noén isn’t content with just launching a product—they’re starting a conversation. In June 2024, they debuted with an exclusive publication launch in Soho that had everyone from Chris Rock to rising star Ben Ahlers in attendance. The star studded event was a celebration of intimacy through art and culture.
Curated by the talented Anne Verhallen, the publication featured works from artists like Elizabeth Glaessner and Ser Serpas, exploring how intimacy manifests in their creative processes. It’s clear that for Noén, intimacy isn’t just about what happens between the sheets—it’s a lifestyle.
