KORU is a dry face oil 100% plant-based formulated to:
- balance congested and combination skin
- purify, heal blemished and hormonal skin
- brighten up dull skin
It is a nutrient-rich clarifying face oil with a weightless texture enhanced by a bioactive blend of non-comedogenic oils. Packed with prized Tamanu oil, a potent skin-healing oil, Vitamin C-rich Kiwi oil, antioxidant Moringa and Passion fruit seed oil, KORU is the ultimate treatment for problem-prone skin.
KORU does not add oiliness, rather smart nutrition that feeds congested skin right and prevents even more breakouts. Manuka, Kanuka, Fragonia and other gentle antiseptic essential oils fight acne-causing bacteria, clear imperfections and reduce acne scarring.

A face oil for combination, congested and blemished skin? As strange as it sounds, using a targeted oil on combination skin is beneficial, especially when experiencing acne. When the skin is stripped of natural oils, it will produce even more sebum, and acne-causing bacteria will thrive. This light, aromatic and non-comedogenic botanical oil purifies congested skin, delivers precious fatty acids compatible with the skin’s microbiome, helps tackle blemishes and scars and, if used regularly, prevents future breakouts. KORU features:
- Tamanu oil, a skin-healing oil from Polynesia
- Vitamin C-rich Kiwi fruit oil
- Sebum's similar Squalane
- Moringa and Passion fruit seed oils,great antioxidant
- Chia seed supercritical extract, rich in Vitamin B3 and Zinc
- Raspberry seed oil, high in Vitamin A and E
- a blend of gently skin-balancing and anti-bacterial essential oils
Complete your skincare routine by layering NAÃ • Skin Perfecting Serum first and then a few drops of KORU.

Are your products truly natural?
Yes, our products are truly natural, right down to the preservatives we use. Plus, we use organic ingredients approved and certified by Ecocert and Cosmos wherever possible.
Our masks, SOLE and CHUN, do contain ethylhexyglycerin, a broad-spectrum preservative enhancer. We use this ingredient because there’s a risk that these products will get contaminated if you use your fingers or a dirty brush to apply them. While ethylhexyglycerin is derived from vegetable glycerine, it’s classified as semi-natural due to chemical processing.
Are your products vegan, cruelty-free and gluten-free?
Yes, all our products are Vegan and Gluten-free. We do not test on animals. We love animals, and we are a cruelty-free brand.
What is the shelf life of your products?
Our products typically have a shelf life of 18 to 24 months when unopened. However, once opened, they will last up to 9 months. To keep your products fresh for as long as possible, please keep them out of direct sunlight, at room temperature or below 24°C, and store them at average humidity..
Where do you source your ingredients and where are the products made?
We source our ingredients worldwide (Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, India, Italy, France, Spain, UK, Morocco, Somaliland, Chile, Brazil, USA). We try, however, to minimise our carbon footprint by purchasing as much as we can locally. Our products are made in an Ecocert-certified production facility, in Thailand, under the direct supervision of our founder and formulator, Daniela.
Do you source ethically?
Most definitively. We avoid using any endangered plants, and we don’t purchase any botanicals or active ingredients from unethical suppliers.
What safety and quality standards are you following?
We follow EU product safety and GMP (good manufacturing practices) standards, and we fully disclose all ingredients used in our formulations. We want you to know what you’re putting on your skin – and feel good about it.
Is your packaging eco-friendly?
We use transparent glass containers that can easily be recycled or reused anywhere in the world. Only the closures and lids are made of PET, the most commonly recycled and recyclable plastic. As a safeguard for the purity and efficacy of our products, which contain water and delicate ingredients that require care when stored, PET closures are the best option available on the market right now. We are working on replacing PET with eco-plastic as soon as possible. Check out our recycling guidelines Recycling Native Essentials Packaging.
Are your products suitable during pregnancy and while breastfeeding?
Our products are 100% natural. We use safe ingredients, and we use actives and essential oils in low concentrations that are suitable for use during pregnancy. Every pregnancy is unique; however, as a general rule, we recommend limiting your use of aromatic skincare when pregnant.
If you choose to use one of our face oils (AZUR, SHAANT, KORU) when breastfeeding, please do so away from feeding time. Some aromas, especially the base notes of SHAANT, can linger for hours, and infants shouldn’t inhale essential oils, especially in the first 3 to 4 months of life.
Is there an order I should follow when applying your skincare products?
Start by cleansing your face, even just with water. Spritz LĪLĀ to refresh and hydrate your skin. Apply lighter and water-based products first (ÏIS, NAÃ), a light moisturiser (HAE) followed by one of our oils (AZUR, SHAANT, KORU). To improve your skin care product penetration and skin texture, exfoliate with SOLE and mask with CHUN once a week. Don’t forget to SPF if you go out in the sun.
