Coconut Milk
Rich Lather, Gentle Nourishment
What Is Coconut Milk?
Coconut milk is not the clear liquid found inside coconuts—that’s coconut water. Our organic coconut milk is made from the first pressing of fresh coconut meat, blended with water and strained into a rich, creamy liquid naturally high in beneficial fats.
Used for centuries in the Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia, and India, coconut milk was valued long before modern cosmetics for its ability to moisturize, soothe, and condition both skin and hair in bathing rituals and beauty preparations.
We use real liquid coconut milk, never powdered coconut milk, to preserve all of its skin-loving nutrients.
Why We Use Coconut Milk
From a soapmaker’s perspective, coconut milk is a quiet powerhouse.
In cold-process soap, it transforms the lather—making it thicker, creamier, and more luxurious, while also helping the bar glide smoothly across the skin. That creamy feel isn’t just indulgent; it supports gentle cleansing without stripping the skin’s natural moisture.
Coconut milk’s natural fats and fatty acids help hydrate, soothe, and soften, making it especially valuable for sensitive, dry, or easily irritated skin.
Key Benefits in Soap
- Rich, Creamy Lather: Naturally enhances bubble stability and creaminess
- Moisturizing Feel: Helps reduce dryness, tightness, and flakiness
- Soothing Comfort: Calms irritation and redness for sensitive or reactive skin
- Gentle Cleansing: Cleans without disrupting the skin’s natural balance, making it great for sensitive skin.
- Improved Bar Texture: Contributes to a smooth, silky finish and firm bar
There’s something quietly comforting about coconut milk soap—the creamy lather, the gentle cleanse, and the way skin feels afterward: calm, soft, and balanced.
Coconut Milk in Shampoo Bars
Coconut milk brings the same nourishing qualities to hair care.
Its natural fatty acid profile helps hydrate dry hair and scalp, reduce frizz, and improve softness and shine. When used in a shampoo bar, coconut milk enhances lather while supporting moisture retention—especially helpful for dry, damaged, or easily tangled hair.
Key Benefits in a Shampoo Bar
- Creamier Lather: Adds richness and slip for a more comfortable wash
- Moisturizes Hair & Scalp: Helps reduce dryness and flaking
- Reduces Frizz: Smooths hair by improving hydration
- Improves Detangling: Adds lubrication that reduces breakage
- Supports Hair Strength: Helps minimize moisture loss in damaged hair
- Soothes the Scalp: Calms itchiness associated with dryness
The result is hair that feels softer, shinier, and more manageable, without heaviness or residue.
Rich, creamy coconut milk adds luxurious lather and gentle moisture to soap and shampoo bars. Naturally high in skin-loving fats, it helps soothe dryness, calm irritation, and leave skin and hair feeling soft, balanced, and beautifully cared for.
