Product Reviews by Experts


This body scrub has my skin glowing from head to toe! I love how gentle it is and how it effortlessly polishes my skin, but what I love most is how nourished and hydrated my skin feels after using it! The macadamia nut oil acts as a natural moisturiser, which means I can skip that step after showering, saving me time and products. It is a win win! I also love how it is made from organic ingredients which gives me comfort no nasties are going onto my body! IKOU is a brand with so much heart! Not only do they care about the integrity of their products and ingredients, but that care extends into the community and creates a ripple effect of love. I admire that they share their range with palliative care units and hospitals, what a beautiful offering to families going through a difficult time. Often it is the small comforts, like doing your skincare routine or connecting back to your body, that can help a person ground back into the present and it is admirable that IKOU wants to make that happen.


In two words? Pure bliss! I didn’t know I could love exfoliating my body this much until I tried IKOU’s heavenly organic orange-scented Body Buff. The perfect balance of sugary scrub and nourishing oils leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky! A truly indulgent body care experience. IKOU seems to have a beautiful purpose at its core! I particularly love the brand’s dedication to creating vegan and cruelty-free products, as well as their thoughtful community support through palliative care and hospital gifting!


This body scrub was just the right amount of coarse to oil ratio. It was so nice to use and I really loved how my skin felt afterwards. I love supporting brands that are 100% Australian owned. I was impressed by the use of vegan and cruelty free formulations and particularly how they promote mindful wellbeing practices via social content.
