I ordered several products from KOA, my second order since I liked the product the first time. I really want to like this company but after the customer service I got today I will never order from them again.  Buyer beware, the products I received were over 2 years old. When I contacted the company and told them the products were over 2 years old, I got a response of well our product life shelf is 2 1/2 years. Ok first everyone knows Beauty products like these have a shelf life of about 6 months unless your adding some sort of chemicals to keep them stable. Second if I would of said they were 1 year old I am certain the response would of been well our products have a shelf life of 1.5 years, third if the shelf life is really 2.5 years then the ones I purchased are near expiration date. When I asked for a refund all I got was a huge ego from the customer service at how big their company is and how everyone loves them. That's great but ego is not the way to treat your client. Like I said I wanted to like this company but I won't deal with inflated egos and expired products. Check your dates people, expired products could do more damage to your skin than good. Mine went straight to the trash!

The Toner Pads were really, really harsh on my skin and even stung :/ 

I have the Daily Face Cleanser and I love it. It's super moisturizing and doesn't have that "stripping" effect that some cleansers do, so it's great when I don't feel like doing a full reset/re-moisturize routine. It also has this great tingly feeling - subtle but it wakes me up in the morning!

I always try to support AAPI brands as an AAPI founder myself and KOA immediately caught my eye.

With a focus on formulation that is safe for the environment intertwined with Hawaiian sensibilities, KOA is a skincare brand that you want to show off on your top shelf and in every IG story. 


I love testing out new sunscreens and am always on the lookout for more mineral formulas that won't white cast. I was trying to use up sunscreens so I could try this next and this did not disappoint! I got the regular untinted version and love the consistency. Initially, it may white cast a little bit. Once you massage it all into the skin which is also easy to do , the consistency looks great on the skin. I look forward to using this as my everyday.
