Kosmea
Kosmea is an Australian natural skincare company founded on the healing power of certified organic rosehip oil. The name itself says it all — derived from the Ancient Greek meaning “to harmonise and bring into balance,” Kosmea was built on a simple but radical idea: that skin care should nourish the skin, not mask its problems with chemicals.
The Story Behind the Brand
In 1993, founder and visionary Elaine Ratcliffe discovered the remarkable qualities of rosehip oil while experimenting with a homemade face mask. Crammed with essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, rosehip oil proved ideal for dry, scarred, sensitive, and sun-damaged skin — and completely natural. What struck her most was its versatility: the same oil that soothes a baby’s nappy rash could address a teenager’s breakouts, sun-damaged skin, or a grandmother’s dry, sensitive complexion.
Driven by a vision to create the world’s leading natural skincare company, she set out to change the way people thought about what they put on their skin — and she never compromised. When early manufacturers tried to alter her formulas, she persisted until she found partners with the integrity to make her products exactly as intended.
