KOBA’s Skincare Glow-Up Is Powered by This African Superfruit

If your bathroom shelf is begging for a skincare upgrade that doesn’t scream “12-step routine,” KOBA might just be your skin’s new best friend. The star? A glossy little fruit called safou, sourced from Central and Western Africa — and no, it’s not the latest TikTok obsession (yet).

This fruit isn’t just vibing on your face for the aesthetics. The brand’s balms, creams, and soaps are infused with safou oil, a natural hydrator that KOBA calls “a unique natural vegetable oil.” Translation? It melts dryness into oblivion and leaves your skin softer than your ex’s apologies.

Let’s talk skincare first:

The Safou Sorbet Cleansing Balm basically erases makeup like magic (sans the tugging), while the Light It Up Hydrating Face Cream helps balance shine without snatching your skin’s soul. Lips feeling flaky? The Feeling Myself Lip Balm is your pocket-sized hero. And don’t sleep on the Soak Me Up Soap Bar — it cleanses and exfoliates in one dreamy, sudsy go.

Now onto body care (yes, KOBA is that girl). From dry heels to ashy elbows, the brand’s got something for every square inch. The Bottom Up Foot Cream is practically a miracle in a tube, and the Gold Drip Nourishing Body & Hair Oil is that luxurious, multi-use goddess glow you didn’t know you needed.

All this, and KOBA’s serving it up with vegan formulas, sustainable packaging, and price points that range from $14 to $95 USD. Honestly, self-care never looked so rooted.

Ready to upgrade your ritual? You know what to do — head to KOBA’s site and prepare to fall in love with your skin again.
