Our Story
Curls and Cocoa was born out of a deep appreciation for the beauty and uniqueness of textured hair and melanin-rich skin. The name itself speaks to this celebration—Curls represent the stunning diversity of natural, curly hair, while Cocoa celebrates the rich, melanin-filled skin that defines and empowers people of colour.
Our journey began with a mission: to create high-performance skincare and haircare products that truly cater to the needs of people with skin of colour and type 4 hair. We understand the challenges many face—hyperpigmentation, acne, impaired skin barrier, dullness, hair breakage, and dryness are just some of the common concerns. This is why we’ve formulated science-backed, solution-focused products that not only address these issues but enhance your natural beauty, bringing out healthy, glowing skin and strong, nourished curls—without altering or compromising your skin tone.
At Curls and Cocoa, we believe in using the finest ingredients—ones that are safe, effective, and backed by science. Our formulas are designed to be both luxurious and purposeful, free from harmful chemicals and unnecessary additives. Each product is crafted with your skin and hair’s unique needs in mind, offering real results that help you feel confident in your natural beauty.
Our brand stands for more than just skincare and haircare; it’s about embracing your natural self with pride. We’re here to encourage self-love, empower individuals to feel their best, and promote a deeper connection to your own beauty—inside and out.
Curls and Cocoa is more than just a name; it’s a celebration of the beauty and power that lies in our curls, our cocoa skin, and everything that makes us who we are.
