I finally found the one, you guys!
I’m taking it back to 2017! Yep, we originally gave our thoughts on Cocokind two whole years ago. And you know what? Two years later and its still one of my tried and true brands. Can’t beat that!
Cocokind stands behind three notions: pure, nutritious, and meaningful.
As an organic skincare line centered around superfoods, every ingredient is intended to nurture your skin. That means there are no fillers, no parabens and no chemicals in every product. With a mission to be consumer-conscious, this brand believes that their products should benefit both your skin and the organic farmers that first plant the seeds.
While Cocokind’s mission and quality has stayed the same, the company has added new products to their line and of course, we need to update all of you!
We’re breaking it down, product-by-product in alphabetical order!

Calming Powder
- Price: $11
- Shop: Cocokind
- Perks: USDA Organic | Certified Vegan | Cruelty Free
While this product has a multitude of uses, I use it as a dry shampoo! It may not be super convenient to not have my dry shampoo in a spray can, but man-oh-man, do I love this for dry shampoo! The ingredients are oh-so-clean, plus it really works! Personally, I like to apply this at night before I go to bed, that way the powder has plenty of time to absorb those oils. When I wake up, my hair is oil-free. There’s absolutely no residue left behind or weird sticky feeling.
My favorite thing about this is that it doesn’t irritate my scalp…I guess it’s called “calming” powder for a reason right?!
Worth it? Worth it.
Chagalo Bronze Highlighter
- Price: $12
- Shop: Cocokind, Amazon/Whole Foods, Anthropologie, Follain
- Perks: Certified Organic | Vegan | Cruelty-Free
I recently added this to my Cocokind collection to help warm up my skin during these super pale winter months. The reasons why I love this highlighter as opposed to others in the market are:
- It really warms up my skin!
- Blends in really easily and is easy to apply.
- The added adaptogens are a big perk!
- With ingredients like castor oil, jojoba oil and rosemary extract, this stick is just as effective as makeup as it is as skincare!
Pro tip: I don’t just limit using this to the standard bronzer areas, I like to use it as an eyeshadow as well! It also pairs really well with the Mai Light Rosé Highligher (see below).
Worth it? Worth it.
As far as facial oils go, this one is a real winner! Chia seed oil is significant source of omega-3 fatty acids, meaning it protects and nourishes our skin cells and also provides necessary antioxidants and phytonutrients. This one is also infused with organic chamomile flowers which helps to calm my skin!
The oil absorbs really well and really fast! It won’t leave you with an unwanted shiny complexion and it definitely doesn’t clog your pores. It is perfectly lightweight for daily use. It’s also great for cuticles!
Worth it? Worth it.
This mask is a game-changer, friends! I have come to rely on this mask more than any mask EVER. Chlorophyll works wonders at detoxing the skin, without any drying or negative side effects. I usually stray away from detoxing clay masks in the winter since they’re drying, but this mask is the BEST for dry skin that needs a detox.
My other favorite thing about this mask is you can mix it with anything! My favorite mask combos are:
- Apple cider vinegar, chlorophyll, water
- Cocokind Oil to Milk Cleanser, chlorophyll, water
- Chlorophyll, water, Cocokind Chia Facial Oil
Worth it? Worth it.
This product works wonders on taking off face makeup. I used to wash my face and dry it with a towel and be disappointed to see makeup smears all over my clean towel…what the heck! Since this cleanser is oil based, it literally lifts up all the dirt and makeup when you wipe it off with a cotton pad. It’s seriously satisfying!
Using a facial cleansing oil like this one is really similar to some of our other favorite cleansing balms and oils, but much more affordable…and cleaner ingredients!
Worth it? Worth it.
Facial Repair Oil
- Price: $14
- Shop: Cocokind, Whole Foods/Amazon
- Perks: USDA Organic | Certified Vegan | Cruelty-Free | Fair-Trade
If your skin is in serious need of a moisture boost, look no further. This is the holy grail of face moisturizers, friends. It’s so moisturizing that I cannot use it everyday (at least not during the humid summer months). Since the leading ingredient is coconut oil, it’s really not great for anyone with acne-prone skin or clogged pores (a.k.a. me!).
For me, there are other products that balance my skin out much more but still don’t lack on the hydration so sadly this isn’t one of my Cocokind favorites.
Worth it? Not worth it.
Full Brow Balm
- Price: $14
- Shop: Cocokind
- Perks: USDA Organic | Cruelty-Free
While Cocokind says this could be used as a brow filler for the day or treatment at night, I would argue it’s really not much of a filler at all. The cacao makes it brown in the container, but in reality, it goes on pretty clear. So you won’t see me giving up my Glossier Boy Brow anytime soon.
I did use this for a while as a brow and lash treatment, but I didn’t use it regularly enough to really see results. TBH – I have fairly thick brows and eye lashes so I’m not sure I would see much of a change anyway.
Worth it? Not worth it.
Glow Essence with Sea Grape Caviar
- Price: $18
- Shop: Cocokind, Whole Foods/Amazon
- Perks: Mostly Organic | Cruelty-Free
I never knew I needed an essence in my life until I purchased this one from Cocokind. OMG you guys – life changing! I use this after toning and before serums and moisturizing. That one extra step helps all of my other products absorb so much better! Not only that, but since incorporating this into my routine, my skin has been much more balanced and my oil production has significantly decreased.
Oh, and this stuff smells amazing!
Worth it? Worth it.
Facial oils can be really scary…escpecially for me and my acne-prone friends. I have to say, this oil has done an incredible job of balancing out my skin. It’s ultra hydrating, but doesn’t clog my pores at all. Not only that, but I really feel like it has helped heal any breakouts I’ve had!
I also feel the yellow-tone of the oil gives my skin a nice healthy glow! One thing I don’t love about this oil is it kinda smells like pickles…just have to be honest!
Worth it? Worth it.
Mai-Light Rosé Highlighter
- Price: $12
- Shop: Cocokind, Whole Foods/Amazon
- Perks: Mostly Organic | Certified Vegan | Cruelty-Free
If you need a highlighter, look no further! What’s better than a pretty highlighter with mostly organic ingredients that also happens to be infused with adaptogens?! This is makeup with benefits, my friends. Maitake mushroom boosts hydration and combats inflammation. Awesome, right?
And this highlighter gives the most perfect, dewy glow! Can’t beat that.
Worth it? Worth it.
Matcha Face Moisturizer
- Price: $16
- Shop: Cocokind
- Perks: Certified Organic | Fair-Trade Certified | Vegan | Cruelty-Free
If you have very dry skin in need of serious restoration, this is your friend. If you have normal to dry-ish skin, this is not your friend (at least not when it comes to your face). Here’s the thing about this moisturizer: it’s first ingredient is coconut oil. While I’m generally a coconut oil fan, I’m not when it comes to the face because it is comeodegenic (a.k.a. it clogs your pores). Being acne-prone myself, I prefer to use this moisturizer as a dry spot treatment.
That said, when leaning toward a dry spot treatment, I lean more toward the One-For-All Balm. I could also use it on my body, but I would rather use the Skin Butter at that point. So honestly, this Matcha Face Moisturizer is not my friend!
P.S. Word on the street is Cocokind has heard our concerns about this product and is currently working on a reformulation! Woo hoo!
Worth it? Not worth it.
Mymatcha All-Over Moisture Stick
- Price: $9
- Shop: Cocokind, Whole Foods/Amazon
- Perks: USDA Organic | Cruelty-Free
If you don’t have this matcha stick, RUN right now and get it. Seriously! This is my go-to for all things moisture. From lip balm to under-eye care, this stick is legit. In all seriousness, eye treatments can be tough to judge and this one is worth every ounce of praise it gets. For only $9, my eyes are awake, puffiness is reduced and my fine lines start to diminish.
Oh, and my lips are luscious too! I use this stick on the regular…and I swear to never be caught without it. I kinda wanna buy 3 more so I can have one in my car, desk, purse, nightstand…
Worth it? Worth it.
Oil to Milk Cleanser
- Price: $18
- Shop: Cocokind, Whole Foods/Amazon
- Perks: Mostly Organic | Cruelty-Free | Certified Vegan
You guys know I love a good non-foaming cleanser. I’m all about that sulfate-free life! This cleanser has quickly become one of my all-time favorite cleansers. While it does a great job of cleansing my skin, it is centered around fermented oats which supports my skin’s microbiome. Not many cleansers can say that!
The Cocokind Oil to Milk Cleanser keeps my skin hydrated, balanced, and happy! What more do you need to know?!
Worth it? Worth it.
One-For-All Balm
- Price: $11
- Shop: Cocokind, Amazon/Whole Foods
- Perks: Certified Organic | Vegan | Petrochemical-Free | 5% of all sales are donated to One Tree Planted
If you’re super conscious about being vegan with your products and have had a hard time finding a balm or salve that doesn’t use beeswax, then this is your new best friend! Just like with any balm, its great for just about anywhere that needs extra moisture…lips, cuticles, hands, feet, elbows, etc.
The One-For-All Balm is ultra nourishing and hydrating…plus with it’s charitable benefit it’s a total win-win-win!
Worth it? Worth it.
Pore Refining Concentrate
- Price: $14
- Shop: Cocokind
- Perks: Recyclable tube made from sugarcane materials | Cruelty-Free
I was so ready to love this product! With larger pores in my t-zone area, I’ve always been desperate for a product to shrink them (even though it’s literally impossible to shrink your pores…lol). Anyway, I had high hopes that were sadly let down with this.
Truthfully, I just don’t feel like this concentrate does much of anything for my skin. If anything, I may have seen a breakout or two pop up from it (could’ve been many other things, though…hello, pregnancy). Unfortunately, this is one of the very few Cocokind products that just doesn’t do it for me.
Worth it? Not worth it.
The Cocokind Raspberry Vinegar Toner is for those with oily or breakout-prone skin (that’s me!). I use it immediately after cleansing my face. All I do is spray it on cotton pad and dab away! Then, when I pull back the cotton pad, I can literally see the dead skin and excess dirt that comes off. Since re-integrating this into my routine, I’ve seen a serious reduction in breakouts!
Oh also, my husband uses this every morning and night and he loves it too!
Worth it? Worth it.
Resurfacing Sleep Mask
- Price: $22
- Shop: Cocokind, Whole Foods/Amazon
- Perks: Certified Organic | Cruelty-Free
I consider this a total breakthrough product for Cocokind! For so long their products have been so simplified and very basic (which my skin loves), but this Resurfacing Sleep Mask is a bit of departure from that. Of course, the ingredients are still super clean and simple, but just a tad bit more complex to help achieve big skincare goals.
The key ingredient in this mask is bakuchiol, which is a considered a powerhouse retinol alternative. I’ve been using this mask for a few months about 2-3 times per week and I love it because:
- I’ve seen positive changes in my hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
- It’s still super hydrating! I was worried if I didn’t get my ultra nourishing oils on while I slept that my skin would be rough and dry. Honestly, it’s been the total opposite!
- A little goes a long way. It spreads so smoothly and evenly across your skin that you only need a coin-sized amount for your entire face.
- It dries to where you don’t even feel it at night! No sticky face. No stained pillows. Just healthy, happy skin!
Worth it? Worth it.
Rosewater Facial Toner
- Price: $17
- Shop: Cocokind, Whole Foods/Amazon
- Perks: USDA Organic | Certified Vegan | Cruelty-Free
TBH – I can’t seem to separate myself from this toner. It’s good for just about anyone at anytime! Recently, I’ve stopped washing my face in the morning and instead, I just spray a little bit of this Rosewater Facial Toner on a cotton pad and pat it all over my face. My skin is instatly revitalized, hydrated and balanced. I love it!
The best thing? This stuff smells SO good! Sometimes I just spray it on my face throughout the day for a little refresh. It’s amazing!
Worth it? Worth it.
Sea Kale Clay Mask
- Price: $18
- Shop: Cocokind
- Perks: Cruelty-Free
Honestly you guys, this may be the best mask EVER. That’s a big statement, I know. If you’re looking for a mask that gives you immediate results without all the irritation, this is for you. It has the purifying and detoxing effects of a clay mask, but also the soothing and hydrating effects of a moisturizer. It’s mind blowing!
The Sea Kale Clay Mask is gentle enough to use daily, but I probably use it 1-2x per week. You only need a thin layer to do the job. Oh, and if stiff clay masks aren’t your thing, don’t worry. This mask never makes your face feel stiff and crunchy. I’m a BIG FAN.
Worth it? Worth it.
I’ve battled between the pros and cons of physical vs. chemical exfoliation for a while now and I see beneifts to using both for sure. What I love about physical exfoliants is you get that immediate satisfaction of clean, smooth skin. The only issue with physical exfoliants is that sometimes they do more harm than good and can actually damage your skin.
The reason why I love this Sea Moss Exfoliator is that is ultra gentle on my skin but wow does it make a difference! I either use it alone (mixed with a bit of water) or mixed into whatever cleanser I’m using at the time. It’s great how versatile it is! And you never have to worry about your skin getting extra sensitve afterwards because of how gentle it is. I really love this stuff!
Worth it? Worth it.
This is my holy grail for body skin care. I can’t even begin to tell you how many lotions and creams I’ve gone through. Since I was a kid I’ve dealt with eczema on my legs and keratosis pilaris on the backs of my arms. It’s so annoying! It wasn’t until I started using this cream that all of that is going away or is completely gone. AMAZING!
Also this stuff smells amazing! It takes a little work to rub it in and let it absorb, though. If you don’t like when your skin feels greasy – this isn’t for you. But for me, I just wish it came in a bigger container.
Worth it? Worth it.
Texture Smoothing Cream
- Price: $20
- Shop: Cocokind
- Perks: Many Certified Organic Ingredients | Cruelty-Free
This is Cocokind’s first ever true cream! As crazy as it may sound…it’s true. And truth is, I had become such a die hard Cocokind face oils fan that I was worried I wasn’t really going to like this. Turns out, it’s just what my summer skin needed!
If you’re looking for a lightweight, but still powerful cream for your skincare lineup, I would highly recommend this! The coolest thing about it is it has this instant blurring effect on your skin so your pores immediately look less prominent. It’s a dream if you have big pores on your t-zone like I do!
Worth it? Worth it.
Turmeric Spot Treatment
- Price: $9
- Shop: Cocokind, Whole Foods/Amazon
- Perks: USDA Organic | Cruelty-Free
Hello breakout-prone friends! Meet your new trusty sidekick, Cocokind Turmeric Spot Treatment stick. In the past, I’ve always regretted using spot treatments. They’re filled with chemicals and are so harsh that they leave me with scarred skin due to how quickly they dry out the breakout. Not cool. The great thing about this Cocokind Turmeric Spot Treatment is that it helps your body heal naturally. Turmeric is the mother of all anti-inflammatories. When applied to a breakout, it reduces redness and inflammation and helps your breakout heal properly, which lessens the chance of scarring. Genius!
WARNING: Turmeric stains. It will not stain your skin (it comes off great with the Cocokind Cleansing Oil and either toner), but it WILL stain your clothes, pillowcases, etc.. So, be careful! But don’t let the fear of a stain keep you from adding this to your collection.
Worth it? Worth it.
Turmeric Tonic
- Price: $11
- Shop: Cocokind
- Perks: Certified Organic | Cruelty-Free
Breakout-prone friends – this is for you! I’ve been a long-time fan of Cocokind’s classic Turmeric Stick for treating breakouts and problematic areas, but the big frustration with that stick is that it can stain your clothes, bedding, etc. so you can only leave it on for a limited period of time.
With this Turmeric Tonic, it still has many of the same benefits of the Turmeric Stick but it’s meant to be worn all day or all night as it’s completely invisible! I apply this to problem spots day and night after toning and before my essense and serums. Just a little dab here and there and it works hard to fight breakouts! When I use it I see:
- A significan reduction in swelling of breakouts
- Less redness
- If I catch a pimple in the very early stages, this tonic keeps it from ever becoming truly visible!
P.S. If you’re wondering if you need both this and the Tumeric Stick, read Cocokind’s blog post about the two.
Worth it? Worth it.
Vitamin C Serum with Sea Grape Caviar
- Price: $18
- Shop: Cocokind
- Perks: Mostly Organic | Cruelty-Free
This is the most recent addition to the Cocokind fam and WOW I’m so glad it’s finally here. As far as vitamin C goes, I’ve tried my fair share. In fact, my favorite vitamin C serum is from the always trusty, but oh-so-pricey Drunk Elephant. But this $18 serum stands a fighting chance against that $80 one.
Since incorporating this into my routine, my skin has been brighter, balanced, and hydrated! I’m not sure if it’s the vitamin C or the sea grape caviar that I love more, but all I know is I’m obsessed with this serum.
Worth it? Worth it.
Watermelon Hemp Oil
- Price: $18
- Shop: Cocokind
- Perks: Certified Organic | Cruelty-Free
This oil wins for being the best-smelling of the Cocokind Collection! It smells like a watermelon dream. For me, this oil is the fastest absorbing of the bunch so it’s great for days when you don’t have a lot of time for your skincare to set before applying makeup.
I also envision this being my go-to moisturizer in the summer months mostly because I don’t find it to be as hydrating as the Golden Elixir (which is my tried and true oil from Cocokind). But this one is really close behind that. That said, for a lot of people this oil is considered to be extra hydrating because of the hemp oil in it. So you may have to decide what’s best for you when it comes to which oil to choose, but I would highly recommend giving this one a try if you’re looking for something that absorbs quickly!
Worth it? Worth it.
Freakin’ Love Cocokind
Cocokind has me hooked for SO many reasons. The affordability and effectiveness obviously keep me running for more, but it goes beyond that. Cocokind knows what’s wrong with the beauty industry and works everyday to be different. They inspire everyone to feel good in perfectly imperfect skin!
I also feel good supporting a company that values being both socially-conscious customer-conscious! My skin, heart, and mind feel good using Cocokind.

I would like to know what you thought of the Organic Full Brow Balm?? I don’t see an update for how that worked out for you. Thanks!!
Hi Clarissa! Honestly, I stopped using it because I didn’t find it to be very effective. I wasn’t seeing any immediate change. In full transparency, I just kept forgetting to put it on at night. I know a lot of the girls at Cocokind use it as makeup for their brows, but it wasn’t pigmented enough for me. I prefer Glossier Boy Brow (http://uncovertheglow.com/glossier-boy-brow/) for that! Hope this helps!
xoxo, Sam
