Blending Congolese–French heritage and minimalist luxury, KOBA brings the richly hydrating safou oil into vegan, ethically sourced skincare for modern radiance.
In the world of clean beauty, KOBA Skincare reinvents tradition by centering its entire line around the safou fruit, also known as the African pear or butter fruit. Sourced from Cameroon, this unique oil is packed with fatty acids, vitamins C and E, amino acids, and antioxidants that deeply hydrate and improve texture while ethically slowing the signs of aging. From extraction using artisanal methods to sustainable packaging, KOBA ensures its sourcing remains both respectful of the environment and supportive of local communities.
KOBA transforms skincare with a streamlined, multifunctional portfolio. The Safou Sorbet Cleansing Balm melts away makeup while nourishing skin. The Light It Up Hydrating Face Cream delivers shine-reducing hydration and balance. On the go, the Feeling Myself Lip Balm ensures soft, nourished lips, and the Soak Me Up Soap Bar cleans and gently exfoliates. Their body care range continues this logic: from the Bottom Up Foot Cream for cracked heels to the radiant Gold Drip Nourishing Body & Hair Oil that offers head-to-toe glow.
KOBA products are impressively inclusive, over 97% natural, vegan, cruelty-free, fast absorbing, and packaged using recyclable materials. This commitment to purity and responsibility is not only technical but also cultural, as KOBA’s narrative is rooted in ancestral Congolese–French heritage. The brand’s name, meaning turtle in Lingala, becomes a symbol of longevity and protection, bridging African botanical tradition with contemporary skincare wisdom.
