For those of you who have been searching for a line of natural skincare products that work effectively, smell naturally beautiful, and won't break the bank, look no further! NIU BODY is a skincare company that puts coconut in the spotlight; it's the central ingredient in all of their products. Founders Connie and Laura visited my kitchen to blend up two delicious recipes using different forms of coconut, and to talk about the brand.
Why did you choose to create a skincare line around coconut?
"We love coconut because a) it tastes absolutely delicious, b) there are so many beauty and health benefits of coconut and coconut oil, such as clearer skin, improved immunity, and shinier hair, and c) it reminds us of tropical vacations and long walks on the beach!" - Connie & Laura
