In the awards November series of blog posts, we get to know the brands behind the nominee products of the European Natural Beauty Awards 2023. In this post, we are proud to share more about the Dutch natural cosmetics brand Karma Mama, as told by the brand:
Every successful brand has an inspiring story behind it, and Karma Mama is no exception. Leonie Stevens, the founder and a mother herself, has had a lifelong passion for skincare and a strong connection to nature. During her time in Asia, she developed a profound appreciation for Thailand, a country renowned for its stunning natural beauty and holistic approach to wellness and beauty
The Thai people, who have been using natural ingredients and active botanicals for their well-being for centuries, deeply touched and inspired Leonie. They have passed down their knowledge of rituals and natural remedies from one generation to another.
When Leonie returned to the Netherlands, she noticed that many women in her inner circle were becoming pregnant. It became clear to her that there were no natural skincare products available that would meet her own high standards and beliefs as a pregnant woman.
This realization motivated her to create Karma Mama, a skincare brand that is deeply rooted in nature and specifically formulated to cater to the unique needs of mothers and their little ones.
The Mission and Vision of Karma Mama
Karma Mama’s mission is simple yet profound – to inspire and connect with parents who are on a quest for a more responsible lifestyle. The brand understands that being a parent is not just about taking care of our little ones; it’s about taking care of the world they will inherit.
