Where is your company?

What inspired the name Kudu Cosmetica

Angelica, the founder chanced upon the tale ‘the Kudu and the tree of life’ while reading African fables to her youngest son. In the story, the Kudu returns to the other animals in the Kingdom after a long quest bringing back the secrets of the tree and it’s life giving fruits. We're all about keeping it natural and the name just felt right.

How are Kudu's products made?

All our products are made in micro-batches, daily to ensure a high level potency and bio-activity. Producing in smaller batches allows us to maintain quality control. We are able to ensure purity and freshness.

Where should I store Kudu's products?

Kudu and all your other skincare products should be stored in a cool, dark place. Plant-based skincare ingredients tend to be photo or light sensitive. We bottle our products in dark, amber glass containers to both protect the antoxidant rich, bio-active botanical ingredients from air and UV light and to extend shelf life.

Do you test on animals?

No! We are 100% cruelty free. We don’t test on animals or source ingredients from companies that carry out animal testing.

Are your products vegan?

Yes, our products are vegan. We do not use any animal-derived ingredients in our products.

Are your products safe for pregnant/breastfeeding women?

Though the ingredients used in our products are natural and organic and safer than the potentially harmful ingredients found in conventional products, some natural ingredients are contraindicated for pregnancy. If you have any questions or concerns about certain ingredients, please consult your physician.

Are your products gluten free?

What is the shelf life of your products?

The typical shelf life of our products is 24 months. All products have an open container logo on their label which provides the peak potency period.

Do you use palm oil in your products?

No, we do not use Palm oil in any of our products. Ethical sourcing and sustainability is of utmost importance to our brand.

Can I recycle my Kudu products?

Yes! Place outer carton into paper recycling. Clean the pipette with warm water then gently remove it from the dropper by pulling downward, and recycle. Next, remove the soft bulb and discard it in the trash. Rinse the glass bottle thoroughly and recycle.
