Mokosh

Mokosh is a small business located in Fremantle, Western Australia. The business arose out of a desire to make skin products from pure, ethically sourced ingredients that are strictly free of potentially harmful additives and unsustainable ingredients found in almost all skin care products. Our full range is certified organic with NASAA, and most of our products consist of 100% certified organic ingredients. Our Face Cleansing Powder contains 5% Argiletz green clay (as a mineral, clay cannot be certified organic), and in the solid soap range, the solid soaps contain approximately 5% non certified organic essential oils. The remainder of the range is 100% certified organic. Our key ingredients are Fair Trade - shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, coconut flour, marula oil and coffee. We do not add preservatives of any description - not even those approved for use in certified organic cosmetics, because we are not satisfied with their safety. Nor do we use artificial colours or fragrances, or synthetic ingredients- all our ingredients are used in their natural form. We don't use palm oil or their derivatives in our soaps and other products for environmental reasons. It seems that Mokosh is one of the few skin care brands that is genuinely free of palm oil derivatives. Read more about this in our recent blog. We use glass to package all our skin care products to reduce plastic waste, recyclable PET plastic for our liquid soaps, and 100% recycled card packaging for our soaps and lip balms. Read more about our approach in Philosophy. As a result, our products are safe for children, adolescents, and people with sensitive skins. For babies, during pregnancy, and for sensitive skins, we advise using our Essential Oil Free products. The business is run by Marion O'Leary, formerly a vet, pathologist, and medical scientist. A scientific background was useful in developing skin care products that fit the above strict criteria. Having some understanding of disease has also underlined the importance of avoiding harmful toxins in our food, environment, and what we put on our bodies. We consider the path to health should begin with basing our diet on predominantly whole natural plant-derived foods, with as much raw food as possible. We believe the same principle should apply to what we put on our skin. Together with Jayne Bland, who has years of experience and passion for all things pure and organic, we developed a range of skin care that you can use with confidence. We believe it is the purest, most natural skin care range available.
