Kosmea is dedicated to harmony in skincare through the use of the highest quality rosehip oil delicately blended with powerful botanicals. Potent and all natural ingredients that really do deliver visible results led to Kosmea Nourishing Cream being nominated for the Pure Beauty Global Awards in the category of Best New Skincare Treatment.
Kosmea Nourishing Cream is a healing, soothing remedy created with calendula, shea butter and rosehip oil. Applied to skin, it immediately soothes and relieves skin that is dry irritated or sunburnt.
In a second category, Kosmea received a nomination for Best New Design and Packaging for the company’s hero product, Kosmea Certified Organic Rosehip Oil. In 2018, the company set out to redesign in celebration of 25 years; the new red and white pearlescent design has been a welcome reinvention.
“When I started the company in 1993, no one had really heard of Rosehip oil. Having read about it and tried it myself – I was inspired to share this miracle “fruit” with the world. I was so dedicated to this Rosehip project, that I sold the family car to provide myself with the capital to start the business! I really did not imagine then, that today we would be the number one selling facial oil on Alibaba” says Ms Kapetanakis, CEO & Founder, Kosmea.
Today, the number one selling product and soul of Kosmea is the pure Kosmea Certified Organic Rosehip Oil. It is the number one facial oil on Alibaba; surpassing facial oils from around the world. Since entering China in 2016, through e-commerce alone, Kosmea has experienced growth rates of 300% and a consistently inclining revenue, which is currently up 35% since market entry.
The efficacy, purity and quality of Kosmea’s Rosehip Oil has led to the unprecedented global success of Kosmea. On average, over the past 5 years this natural skincare company from Adelaide has seen global exports increase exponentially from 20% to 80%. Kosmea all natural skincare products and Kosmea Certified Organic Rosehip Oil are currently available over 3000 stores across the globe including Hong Kong, China, Japan, United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand.
Ms Kapetanakis is still very ‘hands on’ with all Kosmea product development and advocates the integrity and quality of her products. Today, the Kosmea Rosehip natural skincare range consists of over 15 products; with 10 new products added to the range in last five years.
“From day one we promised our consumer that the Kosmea skin care range would be made using only the very best quality all natural ingredients. We have not and will never compromise on our quality or values. We hold ourselves to a higher standard, we take accountability and we operate in a way that is both socially and environmentally responsible.” says Ms Kapetanakis.
Kosmea Natural Skincare products are created using Rosehip oil, extracted from the organic Rosehip which grows wild. Rosehip is one of the best sources of Omega 3, 6 and 9 a good source of retinoic acid and vitamin A.
Every single Kosmea product is made using the highest quality Rosehip oil and premium natural ingredients that are integrated to work with the body’s natural equilibrium.
Kosmea ethically and sustainably source their Rosehip Oil from the Maluti Mountains of Lesotho, South Africa. Sourcing is a key factor is securing the best quality ingredients; having reliable, honest and consistent suppliers is something Ms Kapetanakis is especially proud of. This region is well-known for producing the world’s best rosehips.
Kosmea works very closely with the people of the area and has set up a micro business programme for communities who collect the wild rose hips. This initiative has improved the lives of women and children in the area.
“Everyone asks me, how a wife and mother from Australia could be behind a company that just keeps going from strength to strength. I tell people, you have to believe in what you do; you have to have passion and you have to follow your gut instinct. Since day one, I believed in the power of rosehip oil. I just really wanted to share the healing and soothing properties of this gift from nature.” Kapetenakis adds.
Kosmea is dedicated to creating products that contain no mineral oils, no artificial colours, no petrochemicals, no animal ingredients and are certified organic.
