Introducing
Ethos & Co
At Ethos & Co, we’re using skincare to create a better world. After working with some of Cambodia’s poorest communities, we saw an opportunity to help them sustainably develop through ethical trade.
We source village-raised coconuts direct from the tree, which are turned into uniquely fermented virgin coconut oil at source, creating fair-wage employment for local women.
In NZ, we make premium 100% natural-origin skincare products, using our signature coconut oil, hand-squeezed in time-honoured fashion, & scientifically proven high in antioxidant-rich polyphenols. Our products contain a gentle plant-derived preservation system (instead of synthetic preservatives), are pH balanced for skin health, & packaged in glass.
Profits fund regenerative tree-planting in Cambodia for future village income, while in NZ we’re helping replant waterways, & donating virgin coconut oil to families with premature babies to help care for their skin.
