Kate Moss’ luxury wellness brand Cosmoss is facing a compulsory strike-off because of overdue accounts, less than three years after it was founded.
The notice was filed against the brand at Companies House this week and the supermodel, 51, has two months to get the figures in.
If she fails to file the accounts, which were due by the end of last year, her business could be struck off the register and its assets seized.
However, an associate insists the accounts will be filed shortly, reports the Mail’s Richard Eden.
When Kate launched Cosmoss, to great fanfare in 2022, she claimed it would ‘open a door’ to ‘balance, restoration, and love’.
But this is not the first sign of trouble as the wellness brand reportedly owed lenders more than £405,000 in April last year.

has contacted representatives for Kate and Cosmoss for comment.
The skincare brand sells 20 herbal tea bags for £20, as well as perfumes, and skin creams – including a £105 regenerating face oil and a £125 Sacred Mist room spray.
Kate claimed Cosmoss is ‘self-care created for life’s modern journeys’ upon its launch on September 1, 2022.
It has been likened to a British version of Gwyneth Paltrow’s US business Goop as Kate became the latest celebrity to jump on the wellness market.
Kate’s beauty products, made from ‘potent, natural substances’, are split into three daily rituals which are said to balance the ‘body and soul with the natural environment and the circadian cycles’.
The website describes these rituals as enabling us to ‘adjust to the rhythm of nature, help us find inner peace and self-fulfilment, and open a door to balance, restoration and love’.
The full three rituals cost more than £400, while the popular Golden Nectar serum – which contains the ‘mythical’ tears of Chios, a plant resin produced on the Greek island – has a £105 price tag alone.
The dawn ritual, which fills the body with ‘positive energy’, costs a total of £287 and includes a £21 antioxidant ‘dawn tea’, a £52 cleanser and £95 anti-ageing face cream.
In 2023, the Daily Mail revealed that Kate had won a legal battle with a pharmaceutical firm over the name of her brand Cosmoss.

It means she has trademarked Cosmoss for ranges such as herbal preparations for medicinal purposes, plus food and mineral supplements in her latest venture.
‘Kate has huge ambitions for the Cosmoss brand,’ the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden was told at the time.
Kate applied to the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) in 2022 to trademark Cosmoss for applications from aromatherapy candles, vitamin supplements and teas to magazines, videos and home furnishings, but Danish firm Pharmacosmos objected to her application.
The company, which makes products for those with iron deficiencies, has been in business for more than 50 years.
It gave a ‘likelihood of confusion’ as the reason for its objection, but the opposition to Kate’s application has been dropped, it was revealed last year.
A filed update at the IPO showed at the time Cosmoss no longer planned to trademark goods intended for treating iron deficiency, meaning there would be no clash with the Danish firm.
Then the brand faced backlash again in March 2024 when Kate boasted that she had succeeded where the world’s top scientists have failed – and found a miracle cure for eczema.
Just one application of her new £105 Golden Nectar skin oil, she said, had an unexpected bonus of instantly getting rid of eczema or another uncurable skin condition, psoriasis.

‘I have to tell you a secret: we didn’t know when we made it; we’ve discovered it since,’ she says in a video of her conversation with fashion writer Alessandra Steinherr, posted on the Cosmoss Instagram page.
‘I have friends with eczema and any kind of psoriasis, any kind of spots, bite… You put this on — and gone, the next day.’
However, the NHS website states that there is no cure for eczema or psoriasis, which are painful, unsightly conditions whose symptoms are usually treated with moisturisers as well as creams and ointments to reduce swelling and redness during flare-ups.
Kate was blasted by the NHS ‘ top doctor Professor Sir Stephen Powis over the ‘misleading health claims’.
The brand previously also had problems with federal authorities in the United States over plans to market a cannabis-derived health product.
