Who we are ?
Kikao is the first French perfume brand with cosmetic approval.
The Kikao brand offers allergen-free fragrances, made in France and suitable for all spaces.


Our Philosophy
Today, swimming pool perfume is considered to be a purely technical product. As such, it is subject to the regulations that apply to water treatment.
However, for the Enki laboratory, a water fragrance must also meet cosmetic standards.
Indeed, these products are poured into water or diffused by it, whether in a swimming pool, a sauna, a spa or a hammam.
As a result, they are in contact with the skin. It is therefore essential to respect the standards for cosmetics.
Kikao products are therefore cosmetic approved and dermatologically tested. Any raw material that is naturally allergenic or sensitising is banned by the Enki laboratory, in particular essential oils.
The choice is made to develop perfumes from synthetic or natural materials in order to control the allergenic profiles and to guarantee total harmlessness.

Our Values

Made in France
Our production is 100% French, mainly concentrated in central western France, Enki has a reduced environmental impact.
The entire creative process, from design to production of both content and container, is carried out in France. This is an obvious choice for Enki, which is located in the heart of the Cosmetic Valley, an area of unrivalled innovation and know-how in the field of cosmetics.
This choice of 100% French production reduces the ecological impact, guarantees compliance with standards and ensures product traceability.
Thus, all operations, including research and development, packaging, graphics and marketing, are carried out in the Centre region, particularly in Indre-et-Loire, the company’s headquarters.
In addition, Enki calls on a “nose” from Grasse, the world capital of perfume, to make its fragrances.
Finally, the geographical proximity of Enki’s partners allows for great reactivity.

Innovation
The Enki laboratory has developed a specialised know-how in microencapsulation, delivery systems and diffusion of active ingredients. The mastery of these technical processes guarantees a quality diffusion and an adapted use of the perfume in water.
The manufacturing process of the container (opacity, watertightness…) is also very demanding, in order to guarantee the protection of the product.
