After nearly three decades in the beauty industry, Demee Koch had experienced almost every side of it, from retail and distribution to education, product development, manufacturing and entrepreneurship.
She loved what beauty could do. How the right product could restore confidence. How a small ritual could change the way someone feels. How taking care of yourself could become an act of self-respect.
But she also saw another side of the industry: too much excess, increasingly complicated routines and marketing promises that could overshadow what a product actually delivered.
In a world already full of beauty brands, creating another needed a clear purpose.
For Demee, that purpose was to put her experience and convictions into practice: develop effective, multifunctional products that address real needs, simplify everyday care and deliver on their promises while considering the ripple effect of every decision behind them.
So she began asking better questions:
Does this product really need to exist?
Does it solve a real problem?
Does it deliver meaningful results?
Can it simplify someone’s routine?
And can beauty create a little more good beyond the mirror?
Those questions became DE MOI.
Today, DE MOI remains an independent, founder-led Swiss beauty brand. Demee and a small, deeply involved team take a hands-on role throughout the business—from developing products with specialist partners to answering customer concerns and managing orders and deliveries.
They take pride in what carries the DE MOI name. That means asking difficult questions, holding themselves and their partners to high standards, and walking away from opportunities that do not align with the brand’s values.
As DE MOI grows, the commitment is to keep its heart intact: care for the customer, accountability for its choices and a purpose that guides everyday action.
