Clean Beauty

At KOBA skincare, we are committed to developing a range of products that are effective and safe to use on the skin, while being kind to the planet. Clean beauty, for us, means bringing together luxury with clean ingredients, responsible sourcing and manufacturing and sustainably conscious design.

Our Ingredients

KOBA was born from a desire to deliver deep, lasting hydration starting with the edges: those parts of the body most vulnerable to moisture loss, environmental stressors, and free radical damage. Guided by this focus, we've carefully sourced high-performance ingredients that nourish, restore and protect the skin. Through thoughtful experimentation with powerful botanical oils, rich butters, natural waxes, and fruit extracts, we craft bespoke formulas that are safe, effective, and both ethically and environmentally responsible.
We prioritise ethically cultivated ingredients sourced through responsible harvesting practices that protect and preserve natural supply. Keeping our formulas simple and intentional, we only use ingredients that are necessary and essential to achieve the best results for your skin. Our promise: natural wherever possible with no extra fluff. All our products are formulated with at least 97% natural ingredients that are high-performing, skin-loving and multi-tasking for powerful results. The remaining are ingredients are trusted and safe, used sparingly to ensure our formulas remain stable and deliver the best results without compromising on our clean beauty standard. Always free from parabens, sls, sles, silicones, mineral oils, artificial colouring, aluminium, synthetic perfume and alcohol. 

Sourcing & Manufacturing

We source our ingredients as close as possible to our factories to limit our carbon footprint as much as possible. Apart from the African ingredients safou oil, shea butter and baobab oil most of our ingredients are from France or Europe. Our shea butter, from Burkina Faso and Ghana, is thoughtfully sourced by our laboratories along with the other raw materials used in our products. Safou oil is native to the tropical forests in Central and Western Africa, with our safou being sourced from Cameroon. We work with skilled local farmers who use traditional and artisanal methods in the handling of the safou fruit. Using a gentle and manual technique, we extract the oil from the pulp of the safou fruit by pressing it after it has dried naturally in the sun, only taking what we need and keeping this artisanal skill alive. We do not use any machinery, thus saving on artificial energy.  

We are committed to minimising energy and water usage throughout our production process, partnering only with manufacturers whose ethical and environmental values align with our own. With deep roots in skincare, our trusted laboratories in Aix-en-Provence, Chartres, and Grasse, France uphold rigorous sustainability standards, carefully managing energy consumption and repurposing water wherever possible to reduce waste and environmental impact.

Our Commitments Our Commitments

Our Commitments

Since our inception we have strived to become more respectful of the environment, have a positive impact on society, and support customers with straight-talking transparency. Dedicated to being ethical, sustainable, vegan and cruelty-free, we have worked tirelessly to gain certain certifications.

We believe in treating all beings with love and respect. Proud members of the Beauty Without Bunnies Programme created by PETA, our formulations and testing processes have been reviewed and approved by them. We are committed to not test on animals, and we work hard with our labs to develop formulas suitable for vegans. 

Sustainability to us also means that we give back. The 1% for the Planet programme funds projects with a positive impact on the environment. We have committed, from launch, to allocate 1% of our annual revenues to projects in Africa where our main ingredient, safou oil, comes from. We look forward to sharing real updates on these projects very soon, so stay tuned!
