How it all started.

Embarking on the journey that started KUKI Natural Remedies, our thriving skincare company owes its origins to a mother's unwavering commitment to her son's well-being. Faced with a significant burn on his face, a consequence of playful antics with a hot iron, financial constraints led her to explore the effectiveness of Samoan remedies. Seeking guidance from village elders, she discovered the potency of a natural remedy featuring bamboo charcoal. The remarkable outcome, leaving no trace of a scar on her son's face, fueled her passion for delving further into the realm of natural remedies to care for her entire family.

How it developed.

Fast forward to 2015, our founder Maria found herself grappling with a severe second-degree burn on her chin. Recalling the incredible pain relief provided by the bamboo remedy, she was inspired to conceptualise the remarkable products that define KUKI skincare today. From here the Leota family's kitchen served as a three-year laboratory where they meticulously tested and researched products. Embracing the essence of traditional Samoan culture, they utilised the finest, quality ingredients naturally provided by the Pacific Islands. While the name 'KUKI' holds a sentimental connection, a fusion of her children's names, Karla and Puki.

Our skincare today.

Today, our cutting-edge company is dedicated to providing natural, artisanal skincare straight from the heart of Samoa. Our products, utilising primarily indigenous and botanical ingredients, stand at the forefront of addressing various ailments and conditions, including burns, muscle aches, anxiety, acne, and anti-aging. Our range modernises ancient remedies, sharing our culture with the world. We actively support local farmers and village women by exclusively sourcing from them. Currently available in local shops and resorts in Samoa and American Samoa, we plan to export to the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia in 2024.
