How LA MAXIME began - Where Nature Meets Precision.


I’m Jacqueline Koo, founder of LA MAXIME.

Gowing up in Seoul, South Korea, I suffered from persistent sinus issues that conventional treatments could not resolve. It was traditional Korean Herbal medicine that finally brought lasting relief - and with it, a deep respect for the restorative power of nature.

Years later, after relocating to Melbourne, Australia, I built a career as a senior IT professional, leading teams at Telstra and fine-tuning complex system to operate with precision and efficiency - saving millions in annual operating costs.

That experience shaped the way I think:

Every system can be optimized - if you understand the inputs, interactions and balance.

In my early 50's, as hormonal changes began to affect my skin - enlarged pores, loss of firmness, fine lines and unexpected breakouts - I was disappointed by what the skincare market offered. many products relied on harsh synthetics, fillers, or short-term cosmetic effects rather than true skin health.

I asked myself, a simple but defining question:

If I could optimize enterprise-level systems, why couldn't skincare formulations be optimized to deliver real, visible results - without compromising safety?

That question became the foundation of LA MAXIME.

A Formulation-Led Journey


Beginning in 2007, I committed to myself to research and formulation - not trends.

Drawing on my early experience with natural remedies and Australia's extraordinary biodiversity, I focused on potent native botanicals such as Kakadu Plum, Desert Lime, Lilli Pilli, and Tea Tree - ingredients long respected for their antioxidant, calming, and skin-revitalizing properties.

But Nature alone wasn't enough.

Each LA MAXIME formulation is carefully engineered with multiple active ingredients, balanced concentrations, and complimentary delivery systems - designed to support the skin barrier, improve clarity and radiance, and promote long-term skin resilience.

This is not "natural skincare" for sake of being natural.

It is precision-led, results -driven formulation - guided by science, refined by experience, and powered by nature.

After more than 15 years of development, testing, and refinement, LA MAXIME was born.

Why LA MAXIME Exists today


Today at 70, I feel more confident in my skin then I did 15 years ago - and my greatest joy is helping others rediscover theirs.

LA MAXIME is a clean, luxurious skincare brand created for women who want:

  • visible results without harsh ingredients
  • formulations that respect the skin's natural intelligence
  • products designed for long-term skin health - not quick fixes

Your skin evolves.

Your skincare should evolve with it.

Your best skincare is still ahead of you.
