5 questions with Okoii

Can you give us a little bit of background as to the beginnings of Okoii and where it stands today

As a Japanese living in Australia, it was my dream to offer genuine skin care products using traditional natural ingredients mainly from Japan & Asia.

I am familiar with Japanese traditional natural ingredients such as green tea, rice bran, azuki beans, camelia oil etc.  They have been used for many centuries in Japan and have nurtured the beauty of Japanese womens skin.

This means the use of these ingredients are safe and has been proven by their use for a very long time.

I developed original recipes by blending the natural ingredients traditionally used in Japan & Asia into the natural ingredients available in Australia.

I also believe the freshest natural skin care products and are most effective and safest for our skin, which I learned from making the products myself and using them while they were fresh.

Okoii's products are made of natural or natural-derived ingredients only.  Okoii is accredited as Australian Certified Toxic-Free by Safe Cosmetics Australia.

How did you initially hear about Riverside Markets and what made you decide (most welcomingly we must add!) to join us?

We knew about it after OFM suggested that it was a nice cosy market.

What has been some of the highlights you have hd since being part of the Riverside Market Community?

It's great to have repeat customers for both skin care and healthy smoothies!

Feedback from customers is that they find your product incredibly soothing and that there something to suit every skin type/condition.  How long does the process take and are there any future additions we can expect Okoii's already amazing line

Our most popular products are Luxury Rice Bran Creamy Soap, Pure Organic Camelia Oil, Natural Hand Cream and Natural Lip Balm.  We will be adding more products such as body moisturiser, face toner and cream a little further down the line.

If you could describe in 5 words why Riverside Market is a fantastic place to get your "weekly organic fix" what would they be
