MISSION DRIVEN

We are on a mission to do more with less. We've broken down our purpose into three:

  • 1. SKINIMALISM

    Making effective core skincare products available to everyone. We believe in less-is-more, but any skincare routine starts with strong cleansers and moisturizers.

  • 2. ENDING SEX TRAFFICKING

    Putting a stop to this silent but present endemic that affects all of us.

  • 3. INSPIRING SELF-EXPRESSION

    We all want to be loved for our authentic selves and be inspired to express ourselves as individuals. We want to be part of your journey to self-expression.

SEX TRAFFICKING IMPACTS US ALL

For every product sold Koope donates up to $1 toward the fight against sex trafficking. Koope is on a mission to end trafficking in the USA and globally by supporting anti-trafficking initiatives and building awareness of this silent but pervasive issue.

Nearly 40.3 million people are being trafficked worldwide, 300k of them in the USA (70% women).

Our Impact

Responsible Ingredients

We source a number of purpose-led ingredients that are harvested or produced by manufacturers who give back. An example is our baobab oil, part of the Eco Products Foundation, a non-profit initiative committed to buying fruit directly from rural harvesters and providing under-resourced preschool areas with infrastructure, education equipment, toys, swings and jungle gyms – right in the community the baobab is harvested.

OUR FOUNDER

Esthetician and child trafficking survivor Nadia Badowski founded Koope out of a deep passion for our three core missions. Inspired by her own experiences, she is dedicated to fighting sex trafficking and pairs her love for beauty with her passion for charitable causes through Koope.

Having suffered from chronic urticaria (hives) for years as
a result of aggressive and sensitizing ingredients in skincare, she went on to learn about ingredients that weren’t good for your skin, and standards to create trustworthy formulas.

Finally, after being tired of the overwhelming task of shopping for skincare, Nadia found that premium
skincare brands were neglecting the two most important products in a skincare routine: cleansers and moisturizers. So, she decided to change that, and focus on highly effective core products to "bookend" your routine.

“Being an esthetician was the first thing that ever made me feel ‘normal’ after a life of abuse and sex trafficking. I love that I’m able to make a difference in people’s lives through this passion.”
