This luxurious lip oil treatment is a unique product and presents beautifully in its glass bottle. Botanically-powered with ingredients like bio-active pomegranate flower molecules and fenugreek sprouts to boost lip fat-storing cells plus omega-rich African marula fruit oil for hydration. This treatment left my lips feeling smooth and nourished! I support subtle and natural alternatives to lip injectables or other synthetic treatments as part of healthy ageing, so this is a fabulous option! The dropper ensures easy application, and I enjoyed using this booster morning and night as lip care is something I usually forget about. I can really feel the heart and soul behind this brand by how they care about people, animals and the environment on many levels. For example, its impressive to be a small business yet to have turned down numerous opportunities to sell in China due to the country’s mandatory animal testing requirements, standing firm on their principles despite potential financial gain. Additionally, iKOU gives back in meaningful ways, including supporting palliative care units, donating to Animals Australia and sending random gifts of encouragement to those facing challenging times. These are just a few examples of the many ways they give back that stood out.

As someone who has tried many different lip plumpers, I love that this collagen booster didn’t cause immediate tingling and stinging in order to achieve a fuller pout. This beautiful blend provides immediate hydration and I noticed it lasted longer than other balms I have used, which made my lips feel deeply nourished. While I noticed a slight difference in the fullness of my lips, I am excited to continue using it to see if I can increase my results over time. I got literal goosebumps when I read their cruelty-free statement and that they have rejected offers to sell to China! THANK YOU!! This screams volumes to your values and ethics as a business and the love and respect you have for animals. That alone has made me a forever fan of your brand!

I was so excited to try this product! While my lips are already on the fuller side naturally, a single drop of this nourishing booster oil instantly made my lips feel plumper and firmer. The results are cumulative too, so it’s a product that is worth using every day! Ikou has strong ethical standards and passionately ensures all products are vegan, sustainable, palm-oil free, and utilise Australian-grown ingredients where possible. I am particularly impressed that the brand’s warehouse and retail stores are run with solar and wind power and that the founders are actively involved in the community.
