In the shower · Coco & Char
The shower ritual

Polish. Rinse.
Smooth, soft skin.

Coco & Char is made for the shower. A rich black cream with fine jojoba beads that buffs away dull, rough feeling skin, then rinses clean, leaving body skin smooth and soft, never stripped.

  1. 01Scoop

    On damp skin, under warm water. Take a generous scoop of the black cream.

  2. 02Polish

    Massage over shoulders, arms and legs in slow circles. The round beads do the work.

  3. 03Rinse

    Let the water carry it away. Skin is left smooth, soft and clean, never tight.

Two or three times a week

Enough to keep skin smooth, without overdoing it.

Before you shave

The day before, so the razor glides. Never straight after.

Questions

Before you ask.

Will it scratch my skin?

No. The polish comes from jojoba beads, which are smooth and perfectly round, unlike crushed shells, salt or sugar. They glide in a creamy base, so gentle pressure is all it takes.

Can I use it on my face?

Coco & Char is made for the body. Facial skin is thinner and needs a gentler routine, so for the face we recommend Neemra.

How often should I use it?

Two or three times a week is the sweet spot. Body skin needs time between polishes, so more is not better. On the other days, keep up with Amra.

What does it smell like?

Softly sweet coconut, with light notes of almond and green botanicals, from the oils and extracts themselves. There is no added fragrance and no essential oil.

Can I use it before or after shaving?

Before, never straight after. A polish the day before you shave or wax helps the razor glide. Skip freshly shaved or broken skin.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

It was made to be gentle, with round beads, no added fragrance and five calming botanicals. As with anything new, patch test on your inner arm for 24 hours first, and avoid skin that is irritated or broken.

Will the charcoal mark my shower?

It rinses easily from skin. As with any charcoal product, give the shower floor a quick rinse afterwards and it is gone.

Are the beads plastic?

No. They are made from jojoba, a plant wax, so there are no plastic microbeads in the formula.

Does it contain nuts?

Yes, sweet almond oil, along with coconut oil. If you have a nut allergy, check with your doctor before using it.
