Space NK (formerly known as Space NK Apothecary) is a British retailer specializing in personal care and beauty products.

History

The company was founded in 1991 and originally named Space NK Apothecary (stylised as (SPACE.NK.apothecary), by Nicky Kinnaird, with the first store opening in Covent Garden in 1993. Initially, the company sold fresh smoothies, as well as beauty products and fashion items that were not widely accessible at the time, including Diptyque, By Terry and Nars, to name a few . Shortly after, in 1996, the brand narrowed it's sales down to just beauty products .

Space NK became a Manzanita company in 2002, and as of August 2021, the brand has 76 stores across the UK and Ireland.

During the rise of Space NK's popularity, several of its stores popped up across the country, including the opening of one in Duke of York Square in London, in 2003. Only a year after did the company become officially available online (in 2004).

In 2020, Space NK repositioned its US business into Wholesale+; a fully serviced wholesale model offering prestige skin, hair and make-up brands across over 50 Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's stores. In August 2021, Space NK launched in Canada with HBC on line and in selected stores.

In November 2024, Space NK warned customers of a social media scam which saw fraudsters creating false advertisements claiming to sell its £250 advent calendar for just £28.99.

In July 2025, Space NK was acquired by US retailer Ulta Beauty.
