Our Story
|
Welcome to Punta Coco, quality handmade artisan skincare! Shop for coconut soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, anti-aging skincare, body scrubs, thermal masks, and more, all with skin healing artisan-crafted botanical extracts sustainably wild-crafted in their natural environment.
Punta Coco was first created in a solar powered facility in Bocas del Toro, on Panama’s Caribbean coast with pure passion for extraordinary botanical ingredients such as raw coconut, cacao, and moringa. Products by Punta Coco are carefully formulated using only natural and organic ingredients sourced from local organic farms in the archipelago. |
They are made with complex combinations of botanical extracts and are hand-harvested at their optimal potency.
We have established many positive and personal relationships with the indigenous peoples of Panama that have made a long-lasting difference. Making a real positive connection is important to us in building genuine relationships. Making these connections with the indigenous people have been quite a fascinating journey. Now I want to share our high quality coconut products with our friends all over the world. All of our products include whole foods certified ingredients, are bio-friendly and tested only on human friends. |

Our Mission
To manage our business in an environmentally aware manner emphasizing commitment to organic and sustainable farming by using unique high-quality wild-crafted organic based ingredients, reuse and recycling, and making real positive connections to establish genuine relationships with the community and co-workers.
How We Give
Each of your soap sales donates soap to someone in need. Your donation is either made from Panama or in the U.S. We work closely with other local soap companies, like Palmetto Soap Company and Punta Coco USA LLC. As well as, other non profit organizations like "Give and Surf.org". Giving away massive amounts of soap hurts local soapmakers and could put them out of business. Our policy is to support local soapmakers and artisans by pulling together in the community and abroad to help support local economies.
"Punta Coco works with local artisans and local organic farms."
Thankfulness
Daily life is different right now. And whether you are maintaining a semblance of your normal daily routine while employing social distancing, or you’re completely self-quarantining and isolating, it is equally important in all instances to wash hands (way more often than what seems like enough) and to make sure commonly touched items and surfaces are clean. We are thankful here at Punta Coco to be able to provide safe, and effective all natural coconut soaps, home cleaners and hand sanitizers, all of which are made from the amazing coconut! We would like to thank all of our customers for your support.
Our Process
Our Cold-process soaps are naturally antibacterial and the energy efficient process allows the natural ingredients to combine together. Our artisan crafted process requires no heating or chemical aids for saponification but relies purely on the heat of the natural reaction between oils (all-coconut) and lye. Our process preserves the ingredients and a naturally occurring moisturizer called glycerin. Finally, we add extra coconut oil, leaving a super moisturizing bar of soap!
