Cosmoss, the premium skincare and wellness brand, founded by the supermodel Kate Moss has entered liquidation proceedings.
According to corporate filings, the company appointed liquidators on June 24, and filed to close its operations via the winding up process on June 25.
In its liquidation filing, the company declared it owed $4 million to creditors, including more than $3 million to Moss’ talent agency, Kate Moss Agency. It last filed company accounts in 2023 with the UK’s Companies House; it has never disclosed its revenue.
Originally founded in 2022, Cosmoss offered a range of perfumes, skincare and teas, ranging from $25 for tea to $155 for its Sacred Mist perfume. While Moss is a cultural icon and has been an ambassador for major brands including Calvin Klein and Diet Coke, she is famously private, rarely granting interviews – to some commentators, her public image was at odds with the brand’s wellness aims.
The brand was marketed with homeopathic and spiritual claims, and was carried in Liberty London and Fenwick department stores.
Moss is the company’s largest shareholder, alongside Warsaw Labs, a business incubator, the homeopath Victoria Young and other business partners.
Representatives for Moss did not respond to a request for comment.
