Aloha Coconutters!

Its review time again and we have Octoberʻs WINNER!  Congratulations to Cristine of West Point, New York!

Here is Cristineʻs review:

9/6/2012
Scrub Sampler Pack
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Location: West Point, New York

First of all, I wasn’t expecting to receive my package so fast.  That was great.  When I opened the shipped cardboard box, I was surprised to see that it was an inside-out Crunchmaster Multi-Grain Crackers box.  That threw me off a little, but I found the note inside that said Coconut Clean was earth-friendly which was just fine.  After that, I found the invoice and it was nice to see a handwritten note.  It was from Teresa asking me to find their BlogSpot.  Coconut Clean didn’t strike me as a small family business until I saw the reused box and the handwritten note and put two and two together.  The product itself, Coconut Clean’s Scrub Sampler Pack, was so nicely put together that I didn’t want to open it.  There were two pretty shells tied to the product box with this dyed string stuff (sorry, I don’t know what it’s called!).  Anyways, I got over my undesire to open the product box and untied it.  And I love using these products!  Eight different smells.  Salt scrubs and sugar scrubs.  So nice!  The reason I rated this a 4 instead of a 5 is because, although none of the lids were loose and I could not find any leaks, the product box was oily on the inside.  I couldn’t use the product box to store the scrubs like I had originally planned to.  Regardless, I would definitely by this product again!  (:
 


  
Thanks for the great feedback, Cristine!

We weren't sure why the box she received was oily on the inside, but we sent her another one so she could properly store her scrubs. She will receive her free scrub soon!

We didn't have the participation we hoped for this month, so lets make next month more challenging for our judges by giving them lots of great reviews to choose from.

Here are the contest rules for the next submission:

- Write us a review (or two, or three) on a product that youʻve tried and send it along to coconutcleanblog@gmail.com for consideration by November 15th.

- Write about one product per review.

- Include a rating (0-5 stars) as well as your email address (which, will of course remain private), your name, and where you are from.

- Please, enter as many times as you like, although only one review will be chosen per month for publication and giveaway on this blog.
A winner will be chosen on the 18th of every month. We keep past submissions on file to be reconsidered for each monthly giveaway.

Stay tuned for our next feature blog in early November …

That’s it in a Coconutshell!

Head to Toe

ALOHA Coconutters!

This feature is about an upcoming change for one our well established products:  Coconut Cleanʻs Body Cleansers. We wanted to create the cleanest body wash on the market with the shortest ingredients list, so unlike many small soap companies, we make our own liquid soap base from scratch.

We originally made this with just olive oil, but this formula did not lather enough, so we decided to add our favorite ingredient, organic virgin coconut oil, for a fluffier, stable lather.


This worked great for lathering but resulted in separation when we added the essential oils. We refused to add chemical emulsifiers to correct the issue, so we hoped that our customer base would prefer to have it chemical free than visually perfect.

For years weʻve been toying with the idea of making a shampoo for each of our aromatherapy lines and we finally blended the perfect shampoo base that doesnʻt separate when the essential oils are added. For the past several months, weʻve tested this formulation on our friends and family and the feedback is fabulous!  Our new shampoo formula has a fluffy, rich lather that cleans your hair without weighing it down, leaving it soft and manageable. It wont strip your hair, its safe to use on color treated hair and best of all, its sulfate free!




During our testing, we discovered that our new shampoo is also an excellent body and facial cleanser. It rinses away clean, leaving your skin soft and supple... SO the birth of "Head to Toe" is on the horizon. 

Our new Shampoo and Body Cleanser combo will be the same price as our regular body cleansers. We hope to have them for sale on our website in the next couple of weeks. Once they are launched, we will be offering our original formula for half price to make room for the new awesomeness!



WANT SOME FREE PRODUCTS? PLEASE SEND IN THOSE REVIEWS... WE NEED THEM IN BY OCTOBER 15th!  Check our September 18th blog for details...
