Coconut & Cotton has changed
After 7 years of trading, Lucy has decided to stop selling products from Coconut & Cotton and instead maintain it as a platform to share and inspire. It always started because of a passion for sustainability and to combine research and ethics.

Honestly, it's a relief to be stepping away from retail
I always struggled with working in retail, as consumerism is something which doesn't align with my values. Though I found balance in selling ethical products, the more I learned, the less I felt comfortable with selling. I always knew I wouldn't be in retail for the long run, but I also knew that what I was doing was so valuable to so many people. I want to continue that value, but in a different way which aligns with my life.
What I would love for you to keep doing
- Keep checking where things are made, this is so important for people and the planet- Don't trust brands just because they claim to be eco- Check websites like Ethical consumer- Research active boycotts, and learn about why they matter- Believe in yourself, and your impact, and the importance of your actions
The face wipes
My face wipes live on with other brands. It took over a year of research into supply chains, testing and development to create my dual sided cleansing face wipes.
I am really pleased to say that other brands now create the same wonderful wipe I used to.If you run a sustainable skincare brand or wish to create my face wipes under your own brand, get in touch to purchase the product specifications.
Ways we can still be in touch
For now, I will still have the social media accounts, but for my own peace in life, I try to limit how much time I spend there.Email: [email protected]
