iKOU integrates "People, Planet & Purpose" into its operations, ensuring all products are 100% Australian-made and vegan. The brand focuses on reducing its environmental footprint, having partnered with Indonesian and Papua New Guinean projects to achieve carbon-neutral deliveries. iKOU scrutinises packaging suppliers for environmentally friendly practices and ethical worker conditions. All formulations adhere to non-negotiable criteria that include being vegan, sustainable, palm-oil free and utilising locally sourced ingredients where possible. iKOU does not test on animals and has declined sales opportunities in China due to animal testing mandates. Its skincare products are recognised for their purity, being chemical-free and organic, with an emphasis on ethically wild-harvested Australian ingredients. The brand employs advanced cellular extraction methods to maintain the potency of active ingredients throughout the formulation and production process.
iKOU utilises solar and wind power for production and prioritises environmentally sound practices. The brand employs eco-ethical sourcing for many of its wild-harvested ingredients, collabourating with indigenous communities to ensure sustainability. Notably, iKOU partners with a supplier that engages in annual tree planting and trains farmers in sustainable harvesting. All products are 100% Australian-made, using organic ingredients free from chemicals and pesticides, while deliveries are carbon neutral, contributing to the protection of endangered rainforests. iKOU is entirely palm-oil free and opts for recyclable packaging, striving to minimise carbon footprints by sourcing locally.
iKOU incorporates mental health benefits and wellbeing in their products, sharing blog articles and offering free downloads and meditations to promote “Health & Happiness.” They provide soothing iKOU products to palliative care units in hospitals and send gifts with encouragement messages to customers facing challenges. Many ingredients are sourced from indigenous communities in Australia, supporting local projects. iKOU seeks to assist women in business, exemplified by contracting Cambodian women to create hand-screen printed cosmetics bags. They have donated products to flood-affected communities, allowing their staff to volunteer and contributed over $12,000 from book launch sales to bushfire relief. Furthermore the workplace offers flexible arrangements to support their predominantly female workforce of 45.

Product Reviews by Experts


If your skin is feeling tired or tender, this is the boost you need. Gentle formula but with impressive results, iKOU’s Hyaluronic Collagen Booster supports skin integrity and structure with a powerful blend of natural ingredients. Testing in the cold, drier months, it helped my skin hold its moisture, and feel hydrated and supple. Half a drop is all you need which means its great value too. This brand feels wholly authentic in its prioritisation of people, planet and purpose across all areas of its business. I appreciate that many of their wild-harvested ingredients that supercharge their products are gathered using eco-ethical practices by Indigenous communities, demonstrating respect for the custodians of the land and commitment to genuine sustainability for the future. 100% Australian-made and vegan, they regularly look for ways to reduce their footprint further, including making their deliveries 100% carbon neutral last year. I admire that they have a demonstrated history of going above and beyond in using their resources to help those in need, operating with a mission not just to limit their impact on the environment but create positive change from leading by example too.


Another high-quality, functional vegan product from an exceptional brand. I love that this anti-aging booster delivers both hyaluronic acid from tremella snow mushroom and collagen-supporting nutrients from baobab protein. The clear, jelly-like formula absorbs effortlessly into the skin, leaving it feeling wonderfully soft and smooth. I love this brand’s commitment to harnessing the power of nature with integrity. Their focus on ethically wild-harvested Australian ingredients and creating locally made, vegan and cruelty-free products speaks volumes about their values. They also offset their production with solar and wind power- amazing!


I enjoyed that this serum had a slightly thicker consistency, it felt very hydrating on the skin and still absorbed into the face quickly. This brand seems to be all over it when it comes to their ethical and sustainable efforts, I’m very impressed by their suite of initiatives across everything they do.
