Skincare Harnessing the Power of Coconut Oil | COCO ORGANICS


COCO ORGANICS


Skincare cosmetics made entirely from edible ingredients, aside from the main ingredient, coconut oil.


A brand is born, using Nigerian coconut oil.


After 10 years of inspiration and 3 years of development, the organic skincare brand "COCO ORGANICS" has debuted with its first four items. A key feature is the use of premium Nigerian coconut oil, the first of its kind in Japan, chosen for its superior resistance to oxidation, a primary cause of skin aging.

Premium oil, yielding just 1ℓ from 100 coconuts.


Coconut oil is extracted from the white flesh (endosperm) of coconuts. COCO ORGANICS uses coconuts from the original species that grow wild along the coast of Nigeria, untouched by pesticides and unadulterated by cross-breeding. The oil is harvested using a traditional Nigerian method: the freshly picked coconuts are crushed, steeped in water, and only the naturally separated supernatant oil (first press oil) is collected. This yields a precious extra virgin coconut oil, with only 1ℓ obtainable from 100 coconuts.

Incidentally, many Nigerian coconuts grow on tall trees and fall naturally, whereas coconuts in Southeast Asia are harvested by hand and pressed for oil, which is said to put stress on the oil.

The Nigerian coconut oil, harvested from coconuts grown in a naturally abundant and expansive environment, is not only resistant to oxidation but also rich in lauric acid, which has high antioxidant and immune-boosting properties, similar to that found in breast milk. This makes it effective against oxidation, a primary cause of skin aging.

The blessings of nature's power, for everyone, young and old.


To preserve the inherent benefits of coconut oil, the skincare items from COCO ORGANICS are made entirely from edible ingredients, excluding the main component. They are free from parabens, alcohol, artificial colors, petroleum-based surfactants, and UV absorbers, making them suitable for all ages and genders.

The "Fresh Soap" is a raw soap with a creamy, soft texture, meticulously crafted using a cold saponification process that avoids heating the coconut oil. By carefully saponifying at low temperatures, the beneficial components of coconut oil remain unaltered, resulting in a raw soap with excellent lathering and cleansing properties that gently wash the skin.

The "Face Cream" is a coconut oil-based cream. Due to coconut oil's characteristic of melting at high temperatures, this cream absorbs smoothly into the skin with a non-greasy feel. Furthermore, coconut oil is highly effective at softening and hydrating the skin, leading to improved suppleness, firmness, and radiance with continued use.

Due to its precious nature, the coconut oil used by COCO ORGANICS was not previously available in Japan. However, through fair trade initiatives and with the cooperation of the Nigerian Embassy, it has become possible to offer it in Japan for the first time. The brand is also currently in the process of obtaining organic certification from a Nigerian accredited body.

Experience the true allure of coconut oil, a beloved ingredient for beauty and anti-aging among Hollywood and European celebrities, which has sparked a major trend.
