  • Cocokind's products are non-toxic, a great price, effective, and look cute - not sure what else you could want in skin care. The Saki body lotion is great, but for me personally, not thick enough (I have super dry skin). I like their lip balm and the color, but it's a bit tacky when I use it. the ceramide barrier cream has really helped me when skiing or when my skinfeels irritated from wind or sun. I've personally used their oils and face wash and am excited to try more of their products.

    I wish that all of their products were in glass bottles, the plastic bottles and sometimes difficult to work with. Also, I personally can't use their face moisturizers (which I really want to try) because they're in a jar. When you put your fingers into a jar every day (even after washing my hands) it causes bacteria to grow and I end up getting acne as I get near the end of the jar.

  • Bought four products to try and was unhappy with all: Scrubbing Clay Turmeric Tonic Sake Body Lotion One-for-All Balm I felt ambivalent about the Scrubbing Clay and Turmeric Tonic. The Scrubbing Clay was super effective (smoothed and soothed), but it left a film on my skin. Worse, it smells like a barista's trashcan. If you're picturing the blissful scent of fresh coffee, you can let that hope die right now. They advertise the scent truthfully when they say "upcycled coffee and chicory prebiotics" - yeah. Fermenting old coffee and rancid 'other' stuff. I genuinely dreaded using it, and hated every second it was in my body. The Turmeric Tonic is just confusing -- I don't know (even after dozens of uses) whether it works for blemishes. It definitely doesn't work on redness and recent acne marks (to calm or brighten). Colloidal Sulfur and gentle BHA serums work faster and better for sure. The Sake Body Lotion was my biggest disappointment. It sounded amazing on paper. However, it's simultaneously too greasy and too thin. It both fails to absorb and doesn't keep your skin comfortable throughout the day. Did not help my itchy eczema skin and encouraged a backne flare (probably the coconut itself and/or stearic acid). It smells neutral though. Super mild, subtly sweet with a hint of sake musk. The One-for-All Balm was also a hard no. It is *so very* greasy and very heavy. I imagined something more sophisticated and multipurpose, like Weleda's Skin Food (but without the scent). This could easily be called an ointment. I couldn't imagine using it on anything except *maybe* cuticles.

    This brand has a great ethos and obviously great marketing. I would like to see their formulas become more sophisticated, a pleasure to use. They're doing innovative things with ingredients and sustainability, but it doesn't seem like most of their products are ready to go to market (ie, not well considered in texture, efficacy, sometimes packaging, etc.) I think there's an assumption here that a sustainably conscious consumer will tolerate 'raw' scent (even if off-putting); formulas that work 'well enough' or 'sometimes' (even if they're uncomfortable or don't last long); ingredients that are 'active' yet 'natural' (even if they can't even begin to compete with their better known alternatives); or, packaging that is useless but 'good for the planet'. With all the wonderful cruelty free and environmentally conscious options available today, those kinds of assumptions can't be taken for granted anymore.

  • CocoKind🤝me forever! Love coco kind especially their ceramide serum! I’ve gone through countless bottles of this serum! When my skin is stressed or reactive this serums helps restore my barrier and calm my irritation! I use these serum daily morning and night and love it! Also love their transparency!!!

  • And the skincare saga continues… I have seen cocokind EVERYWHERE! My friends talk about it, my boss talks about it, even my mom talks about it! So when my go-to moisturize was sold out I decided to bop over to Target and try out cocokind’s texture smoothing cream and matcha stick! I love the smoothing cream, it’s light and so gentle with a barely their scent. I’ve continued to buy it and incorporate the cream into my skincare regimen. As for the matcha stick, I use it as a chapstick and it feels nice. Not sure if it was totally worth it, but no regrets there. Team cocokind!

  • Cocokind is SO good. They are CLEAN and high quality ingredients. They are so real and share everything about their brand. How it’s made and why. The packaging is beautiful and I love the women behind cocokind! Their sea kale clay mask is by far my FAVORITE. Next up is the oil to milk cleanser and body scrub! Everything is wonderful and priced so good!

    I would love to be able to purchase the scrub at target ;)

  • I bought the “best seller bundle” which came with everything to get me started on my skincare journey. It was under $100 too which is great! Cocokind is really good about telling you when and how to use the products too which was really helpful! I am turning 30 and have read that this is the time to really start a skincare routine to keep the skin lookin goood. I had super rosy cheeks (probably rosacea I got from my mama), and I have noticed that they aren’t as red anymore. I saw reviews about the smell but I really don’t think they have a strong scent. It’s very subtle. If you’re looking to begin your skincare journey I recommend trying Cocokind out!

  • Love love LOVE the Rose Water! I use it on my scalp after washing my hair and on my face after cleansing as a toner. It makes my skin and scalp feel hydrated and smell good! The matcha all-over stick and face masks are good but not very impressive.

  • I have been using the Ceramide Barrier Serum at night and sometimes in the morning before my makeup. The serum locks in moisture and I’ve noticed my complexion looks dewy after application. The bottle feels and looks high quality. I do wish there was a slit on the side so you could see how much product is left.

  • My go to for this brand is the ceramide barrier repair serum. Whenever my skin barrier is damaged, I purchase this serum and it totally does the job in getting my skin back on track. I can clearly see a difference in my skin when I use it, I wish they made a bigger size!

  • MyMatcha is my fav lip balm! So moisturizing and it lasts a long time. On my third tube already! Also good that u can use this wherever moisture is needed, and all clean ingredients!

    Feedback

    Maybe the green pigment. I noticed it doesn’t dissolve on ur lips as other balms do. Ull have green lips if u put on a semi-thick layer.

  • I have acne prone skin and I immediately purchased the turmeric stick as soon as I saw the “how to use” tiktok. I have been very pleased with how this stick works with my skin. I am also loving the all for one balm and an excited to see how it works with winter worn skin.

  • I’ve been using Cocokind products for the past few months, and I’m completely obsessed. From the Oil to Milk Cleanser to the Turmeric Stick and Chia Face Oil, everything feels so thoughtfully formulated and gentle on my skin. I love that the ingredients are clean and plant-based, but still incredibly effective — I’ve noticed fewer breakouts, smoother texture, and an overall glow I’ve never had before.

  • Cocokind is one of my favorite brands for simple and clean beauty products. I’ve tried several of their products, and my favorites are the lip balms. They are very hydrating, smell great and I’m not worried to occasionally swallow it with food, because it’s very clean (seriously though, women on average we eat about a full lipstick in one year, so it’s better be made of good ingredients:) The only thing that doesn’t work for me is the matcha face cream. It’s a bit too greasy, and honestly I don’t think coconut oil is the best ingredient for the face products in general, because it can clog the pores and is a bit too heavy. But all the other products work nicely, especially the chia one!

  • One of my favorite eye creams on the market! I love the metal tip applicator- it’s so cooling and feels great on my skin in the morning. It also layers beautifully under makeup and my undereyes look so refreshed and hydrated.

  • I’ve used their products in the past. I had the chia oil and it smelled bad so I eventually switched my products.

  • I like alot of cocokind's products, but I sometimes hesitate to purchase because I can't tell if it's random/fluff ingredients or actual clinically studied effective products!

  • I've been disappointed with every product from cocokind that I have purchased. I always want them to be better/more effective...

    Function.

  • I've regularly used the vitamin c serum with sea grape caviar, chlorophyll mask, and skin butter for about two years. The products are competitively and efficiently priced compared to other brands that are 10 times the cost. cocokind is also transparent about its ingredients and often has promotions running to entice benefits to its customers. The effectiveness of products is noticeable, but not super dramatic.

    Feedback

    What could use improvement is that the packaging of some of the products in jars has often leads to cracked lids in my experience after regular use. The rollerball products are stellar though!

  • I feel like Cocokind is trying hard to be Glossier. Some of their products are so much better and are amazing! Some of them don't really work for me. Regardless, the are super hydrating and if you need that, this will be perfect for you.
