iKOU integrates "People, Planet & Purpose" into all aspects of its operations and aims to become B-Corp certified. They have taken steps to reduce their carbon footprint, such as partnering with projects in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea to make deliveries carbon neutral and sourcing packaging from suppliers with good environmental practices and working conditions. The brand prioritises honesty and authenticity in claims of sustainability, ingredients and product benefits since their establishment in 2007. iKOU's products are formulated with strict ethical standards, including being vegan, sustainable, palm oil-free and utilising Australian-grown ingredients when possible. Additionally, iKOU does not test on animals and has turned down opportunities to sell in China due to mandatory testing requirements. The founders, who are both vegan, ensure that the company remains vegan in all aspects, including events and catering.
iKOU is a 100% Australian-made skincare brand that prides itself on using organic and wild-harvested ingredients to avoid putting chemicals and pesticides into the earth. They operate their warehouse and retail stores with solar and wind power, and have been carbon neutral in their deliveries since 2008 by offsetting their emissions to protect endangered species and old growth rainforests. The brand is committed to sustainability, being palm-oil free, using recyclable bottles, sourcing ingredients locally to minimise carbon footprint and using eco-certified preservatives. They have also started the process of becoming B-Corp Certified and have won awards for their environmental practices.
iKOU factors mental health benefits and wellbeing into their products, aiming to inspire "Health & Happiness" in all they do. They provide iKOU products to palliative care units in hospitals, offer random gifts to customers going through challenging times and support indigenous communities by sourcing ingredients from them. Additionally, they support other women in business through various projects like contracting women in Cambodia to make cosmetics bags. iKOU also donates products and resources during times of need, such as during the Northern Rivers floods and 2020 bushfire disasters. They have a predominantly female workforce with flexible working arrangements.

Expert Reviews

Lee Sutherland


I love the more subtle scent of this one in a generous size bottle so it goes further. But what I love most about it is the ingredient list and everything the company does for their ethical and sustainable efforts. iKOU are doing all the things here that should be a case study to upcoming natural brands. They’re using organic ingredients, as a company they give back (in this case People, Planet and Purpose) with B-Corp in their sight! They look at their footprint and ways to reduce it, eco-packaging, education and transparency on their website for consumers to read are all to be commended – Love!

The iKOU De-Stress Hand & Body Wash has a soothing and subtle scent that makes you feel relaxed. It’s not drying and gives you a spa feel at home. The minimalistic bottle design looks good in every shower. I also love that iKOU is in the process of becoming B-corp certified, which will without a doubt help their business become even more trusted in the sustainable beauty scene.

This product has a nice relaxing smell and is easy to apply. The pump bottle is a good size and easy to use! I also appreciated that this is 100% Australian made and that the brand has Solar and wind powered offices, with a focus on health and wellbeing.
