We are Dore

Our Story

A unique creation

We are Dore – a skincare brand that started with the introduction to the rooibos plant in South Africa. That introduction, and the curiosity about what rooibos can do for the skin, laid the foundation for our brand.

Our journey started with importing local skincare products to the Netherlands and Belgium. But we soon noticed that we wanted to do more than just pass on: we wanted to build something of our own. With our own insights, our own ideas and our own approach to skincare. That’s how Dore Rooibos Cosmetics was born – with the power of green rooibos extract as a starting point.

Our philosophy

We develop our products with a clear idea: to take good care of your skin every day, with ingredients that soften, care for and help with recovery. No complicated routines, but care that fits into your day, just like you choose nutritious food, enough sleep and protection from the sun. With Dore you invest in the health of your skin in the long term - in a way that suits you.

Our preventative skincare philosophy has a lot in common with everyday habits we already know and love. Think of the importance of daily hydration, applying sunscreen, eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly and getting enough sleep. All of these habits help prevent future skin problems and maintain healthy skin.

We work consciously. Not because sustainability is a trend, but because it feels logical. Our products are 100% vegan, free of animal ingredients or testing and are produced according to strict European standards.

We consciously choose packaging made from recyclable sugar cane plastic, develop formulas without microplastics and limit waste through uniform packaging formats.

And that a conscious choice does not have to be at the expense of design is evident from the two awards we recently won: a Silver Award from the World Brand Design Society and a Gold Award from the International Indigo Awards.
It shows that well-thought-out design and sustainable materials go well together.

No unrealistic promises. No unnecessary claims.
Simply care that works – with rooibos as a base.

Sustainability and quality

Sustainability and delivering quality products according to European standards are not selling points for us, but a given. Our products are 100% vegan and free of animal ingredients and tests. And just like everyone else, we take responsibility to minimize our ecological footprint. We are constantly taking small steps to achieve this, such as:

  • No more plastic packaging, we use recyclable tubes and bottles made from sugar cane, and are working on sustainable caps.
  • We develop new formulas with reused ingredients and do not use harmful substances such as microplastics.
  • By choosing uniform packaging types we reduce waste, energy consumption and costs.
