Founders

Sera & Adeline were college friends who reconnected in 2016 & decided to embark on a venture together. Having had their own careers prior to this, they wanted to do something beyond dollars & cents & were looking for something with more heart & soul to it. Skincare came to mind as like most women, we spend a great deal of time looking for suitable products to cleanse, nourish & moisturize our skin. We decided to create our own line of products. On a visit to Bali, Adeline chanced upon a high quality coconut oil that stood heads & shoulders over the other oils. The idea of creating an all-natural, organic virgin coconut oil-based skincare started to take root. Not only is it ideal for skincare, it can be drunk for health & wellness. Six months later, in February 2017, koqo virgin coconut oil was born. In that six months, we did our research, slathered, moisturized & drank our way around coconut land, sampling coconut oil after coconut oil, making sure what we had to offer is incomparable & the finest oil we can find. We visited the little village that makes the oil we love, saw how it was made & persuaded the farmer to work exclusively with us. We realized from our visit that not all coconut oils are created equal. What sets our oil apart is the way it is processed - traditional wet-milling via natural fermentation, making it a truly handmade oil rarely found commercially. We learned that most brands are cold-pressed by machines. The icing on the cake for us is how our business contributes to sustainable development & a sustainable future. By sourcing our oil from a village-based community in Bali, we are supporting local people, providing employment & helping them preserve a traditional craft. We also contribute to a teenage education fund to keep the kids in school so they can finish their education & have better means of supporting themselves in future. Coincidentally, Sera & Adeline share the same surname – Kuek-Quek – but spell it differently. k o q o is derived from our initials – k & q & sounds like “coco”-nuts.

A great carrier oil at home to make your DIY washes & detox mix! Coconutting away is our favourite pastime now & we simply can't get enough of it! WHY k o q o Our coconut oil is made by a special group of women in a village in Bali, only the freshest and best coconuts are picked for their oil. 100% raw, organic & unrefined. It is handmade & wet-milled traditionally using natural fermentation producing the purest top quality virgin coconut oil for use on face, hair & body as well as drinking for good health! k o q o’s coconut oil is produced in small batches to ensure the highest quality at all times! Unlike other coconut oil, the scent is always fresh, texture extra smooth and it keeps longer than other oils. Wet-mill means the coconut oil is extracted from fresh coconut milk. Wet-milling produces the highest quality of coconut oil. k o q o's coconut oil is wet-milled and the oil is separated by natural fermentation. The fermentation process is a simple technique of extracting coconut oil, as has been done in tropical climates for hundreds of years. Coconut oil produced this way has the highest level of nutrients and antioxidants and contains phytonutrients and polyphenols. First, the coconut milk emulsion is made from freshly grated mature coconut. The coconut milk is then allowed to sit and ferment. During the fermentation process, the heavier water sinks to the bottom of the container & the cream rises to the top, leaving a crystal clear layer of oil in the middle. The cream is skimmed off and the water is discarded leaving the oil to be filtered for greater clarity & purity. But what really drives us most of all is being able to support a wonderful community-based business and able to provide the highest quality of coconut oil for our loved ones & customers!
