About iKOU

Transform the way you feel, with iKOU.

Founded in 2007, iKOU embraces a holistic view of beauty and wellness—bringing together organic, botanical skincare with conscious home spa rituals that treat skin, mind and body as a whole.

Dedicated to delivering innovative formulas that are as nourishing for your skin as they are efficacious, iKOU is ultimately designed to inspire you to bring daily rituals into your everyday life so you can rest, relax and restore.

From humble beginnings in the Blue Mountains, iKOU has flourished to become a globally recognised brand, synonymous with a fusion of modern, organic skincare and ancient global spa rituals that will transform the way you feel, inside and out.

“To say we’re proud of the inspiring brand we created and the positive difference it has made in so many lives would be an understatement.”

- Naomi & Paul Whitfeld (Founders)

In July of 2024, Naomi & Paul decided to start their next chapter, handing iKOU to its next custodian after 17 years of whole-hearted dedication to iKOU, its partners and customers.



What’s Unique About iKOU?

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The iKOU ethos was founded on the philosophy that skin health is an outward reflection of your well-being and emotions. We believe you get the best results when you treat body and mind as a whole, creating rituals to de-stress and relax, and nourish your skin with modern organic skincare.

CLEAN BEAUTY

The purity of iKOU Skincare is renowned globally: chemical-free, organic and derived directly from nature. With a strong focus on ethically wild-harvested Australian ingredients that are next-level organic as they are essentially “farmed” by nature, not man, in remote, pristine locations, ensuring an abundance of essential phytonutrients. Our commitment to purity extends across all stages of formulation and production, including ground breaking cellular extraction that doesn’t require heat, ensuring our active ingredients’ potency is never compromised.

VEGAN AND CRUELTY-FREE

As a 100% vegan company, iKOU celebrates all animals’ welfare and well-being as an intrinsically foundational value. We do not use any ingredients derived from animal sources. iKOU has never, and never will, test any of our products or ingredients on animals and, despite high demand, refuse to export our range to any country where import animal testing is mandatory.

EARTH-FRIENDLY

iKOU is a multi-award-winning eco-business that prioritises stringent environmentally sound practises as a minimum standard including offsetting our production with solar and wind power. Our responsibility to preserve and protect our planet is paramount across all of our departments. iKOU aims not only to limit our impact on the environment but to also create positive change through leading by example. Many of our wild-harvested ingredients are gathered using eco-ethical practice by indigenous communities who are the custodians of the land to ensure sustainability for the future.
