KIKO Milano compact foundation

KIKO Milano is a prominent Italian professional cosmetics brand that has redefined the beauty industry with its 'democratized luxury' philosophy. Founded in 1997 by Antonio Percassi, the brand is celebrated for its high-quality formulations, vibrant color palettes, and innovative packaging, which often features its iconic 'KK' interlocking logo on sleek metallic compacts like the one pictured.

While the brand maintains deep roots in Milan, its ownership structure evolved significantly in 2024 when the private equity firm L Catterton (backed by LVMH) acquired a majority stake from the Percassi family to fuel global expansion. The brand prides itself on its European heritage, with approximately 99% of its products manufactured within Europe, primarily in Italy, to maintain strict quality standards while staying agile in the fast-paced beauty market.
