our mission
The Essence of Koba

KOBA is an effective and efficient solution for those looking for a premium alternative to often non-aspirational pharmaceutical creams. Our products are simple to use and fit easily into any skincare routine, transporting you to a spa upon application. KOBA will leave your hard and thickened skin feeling durably elastic and smooth, visibly improving the texture of the skin and leaving behind a divine scent. We have designed our products to proudly sit in your bathroom and be shown off. KOBA will follow you around from your bathroom shelves to your gym bag, to your desk.

The pulp of the safou fruit is high in fatty acids, Vitamin C and E, which are high in antioxidants. These components ethically slow down the ageing process of the skin, naturally improving its texture and elasticity by making it smoother. Safou oil also boasts antiseptic benefits, making it a very special component of KOBA. When burnt, the bark of the Safou tree has a lovely woody scent which we have recreated and elevated in Grasse, the capital of perfumery in France, to use as the natural fragrance of our products. 

Meet the Founder
How It All Began

With over ten years in the beauty industry, Thérèse has worked with some of the biggest names in the business. Having the exposure within the pharmaceutical and beauty ranges of industry leaders, coupled with her mother’s knowledge as a chemist and her personal skincare struggles, it became increasingly difficult to ignore a gap in the market for an all-encompassing foot cream. Foot care has, for too long, been an overlooked category in the beauty industry. Thérèse soon began her next venture: developing skincare products that are innovative and targeted, but also suitable for all skin types, whilst adopting ethical practices.
