Our Story

As avid users of sustainable products, we saw a pattern—hard to use products like heavy detergent powder leave residue; shampoo bars are awkward to use and become soggy, falling apart over time. And so many things have fragrance and dye by default.

In 2019, we set out to make next generation sustainable products that don’t compromise sustainability for usability; easy to use modern products without the waste that are always free and clear.

But it’s not always easy for us! We’re just a small company and finding high quality ingredients and packaging materials takes months or years of research. Our Radical Pastes, for example, took over a year of R&D and months of packaging research. The form factor also isn’t conventionally made and each tin must be hand filled.

We research ingredients extensively and prioritize those studied not harmful to humans and the environment, removing things like sulfates, silicone, animal-based ingredients, petroleum derivatives, plastics, etc. when possible. It takes a lot of trial and error, but it’s worth it.

Through it all, we love what we do. We use our own products exclusively and being able to share them with customers makes everything worthwhile; it’s an incredible gift.

Despite many challenges facing humanity, seeing that our company is making a small difference makes us optimistic for the future. Thank you! We continue to seek new product opportunities and strategies that will make our business more environmentally impactful. If you have ideas for collaborative projects, we’d love to hear from you.

Love,
The Lazy Coconuts Team

High standards, low waste

We make products we actually want to use. If something doesn’t work well, or contains ingredients we wouldn’t feel good about using ourselves, it doesn’t make the cut.

We’re always testing new formulas, materials, and ways to reduce waste. Not because it’s trendy — because it’s the right way to build products.

Straight answers, no spin

We try to say things that are true. We spend time figuring out what words really mean before we use them. If something isn’t perfect yet, we’ll tell you that too.

If you have a question, ask! You’ll get a straight answer.

Respect customers & their time

You’re the only reason this company exists. When you email us, a real person reads it. When something goes wrong, we fix it. Complaints aren’t annoying — they’re how we get better.

Our goal isn’t just to sell you something once — it’s to make products you’ll want to keep using.

Build something worth buying

There’s enough mediocre stuff in the world already. We focus on making products that solve problems differently and hold up over time. If we wouldn’t happily use it in our own homes, we’re not going to sell it.
