Niko Papadatos has made a choice to provide the world with personal care products of the highest quality and healthiest ingredients. Niko’s vision of creating a revolutionary line of hair care products with no sulfates was met with such success that led to the establishment of NIKO Cosmetics Inc. and the NIKO brand in the early 80’s. Following the great achievement of the ‘sulfate free’ line, a complete line of premium make-up and skin products emerged. NIKO brand products gained international recognition by salons, spas and retailers, including major department stores in Canada, where NIKO brand retail counters, competed alongside major brands quite successfully. 

Skin care is a huge market, which unfortunately is not regulated, this has left the door open for manufactures making all sorts of questionable claims of organic or natural products. NIKO Cosmetics commitment to bring integrity to the industry, incited a world search for the strictest, cleanest and the most trustworthy certifier of skin care products - the USDA ORGANIC program won the honors as the certifier for NIKO Cosmetics. A decade ago, Niko founded ORGA-NIKO LABS, as a division of NIKO Cosmetics, dedicated to R&D and manufacturing of Certified Organic skin care products (also medi-organic or natural products). We are one of the few manufacturers of USDA ORGANIC skin care in the world.

Our beautiful earth is increasingly being abused and destroyed due to pollution of our environment, which adversely affects our health in ways we do not fully aware. Niko’s mother, Koula dealt with Alzheimer’s for several years, the experience of such an anguishing illness has fueled Niko’s determination to provide healthier products for us, protect the environment from the toxic chemicals of product run-off and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. NIKO Cosmetics has acquired 40 acres of pristine Ontario forested land, where it will be home of the new ‘net-zero’ facility powered by solar and geothermal systems, as an initiative to drastically lower GHG emissions. This land is certified USDA ORGANIC and our goal is to gather the nutrient rich wild botanicals from the forest, such as wild perennials, roots, leaves, herbs, seeds, mushrooms, etc., for the manufacture of skin care products. The collection of raw materials from the forest will be conducted in such a manner that preserves, maintains, and restores the natural environment. Ethical gathering programs, such as, ‘Pick One-Leave One’ is part of our sustainable mandate to local ethical harvesting. We embrace every opportunity to reduce GHG emission, such as banning the use of liquid fuel power tools, compulsory use of EV’s for business transportation and harvesting, no idle policy for internal combustion engines (ICE) and mandatory LED lighting and Energy Star appliances. Local harvesting also diminishes the necessity to import ingredients over long distances, further diminishing GHG emissions.

NIKO Cosmetics/ORGA-NIKO LABS continued growth, has prompted us to increase our current space. We anticipate moving late 2024, into our new acquired, state-of-the-art facility located in the east end of Toronto Canada. In the meantime, we are progressing with the building of the  harvest facility in Lake-of-Bays, Ontario, Canada

The NIKO brand skin care is sold in organic stores and online and has gained distribution rights in China, Hong Kong, the EU and UK, but our 'claim-to-fame' is the manufacture of award-winning custom formulations of certified USDA ORGANIC skin care product for many customers, stretching from Asia, Europe, Caribbean and the Americas.
