Coccoon is the line of natural, eco-minimalist and multifunctional solid cosmetics by Loliettoo®, a spin-off of the Institute of Life Sciences of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa. The project was born in 2015 within the prestigious International PhD program in Agrobiodiversity, with a clear vision: to unite science, sustainability and ethics to take care of the body and the planet.

 

A direct connection between Bali and Italy

Thanks to unique and precious relationships built in the Emerging Countries, Loliettoo has started in Indonesia, on the island of Bali, the first site for the artisanal production of pure cold-pressed coconut oil, developed in collaboration with a local agricultural community of women farmers.

A short, ethical and transparent supply chain, entirely managed without intermediaries, where every phase respects the biological rhythms of nature and human and animal resources.

Kanti, together with Nyoman and Made, guides every step of the production process: from the manual harvesting of coconuts, to the cold pressing of fresh pulp, up to the natural filtration of crude (or raw) oil by sedimentation, without pressure.

Everything happens in an uncontaminated corner of Bali where palms grow spontaneously in a fertile land that Loliettoo is committed to protecting by enhancing biodiversity, counteracting intensive cultivation, and actively supporting the rural female economy by promoting social equity.

The pure coconut oil thus obtained becomes the precious raw material that gives life to all Coccoon formulations.

From nature to the laboratory, without compromise

The journey continues in Tuscany, in Loliettoo's cosmetic laboratory, where products are formulated, tested and packaged in compliance with the European standards - Reg. (EC) No. 1223/2009 - and made in Italy quality.

 

Our mission

We create unisex, hypoallergenic, vegan, biodegradable, multi-purpose and long-lasting solid cosmetics: smart green solutions for a complete body care - from head to toes - suitable for all ages and perfect for those who travel and want to reduce the superfluous from their routine while ensuring excellent quality.

With Coccoon, we bring a message of awareness and authentic beauty to the world: concentrations of well-being that tell stories of pure oil, sustainable agriculture, resilient women, agrobiodiversity, natural beauty and inclusion.

 

 

 

 

The brand founder

The story of Sara and how the project idea was born

Welcome to the Coccoon world!

I'm Sara, the founder, and this is the story of a dream come true.

A dream made of pure coconut oil, nature, research, and radical and sustainable choices. A true story, born from a simple question: is it possible to create an ethical, transparent, and respectful cosmetic supply chain for the planet and the people?

 

From industry to change: when the ethics calls

 

From Tuscany to Bali, pursuing an ethical vision

At that time I lived in Tuscany. My life was intertwined with the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa. With my partner and future co-founder of Loliettoo®, we spent entire evenings discussing and searching for a solution, until one day - during a walk by the sea - we found the direction.

Thanks to our connection with the International PhD program in Agrobiodiversity of the School and my long experience in the vegetable oil market, we had an extraordinary opportunity: to collaborate directly with local growers in Emerging Countries and develop the first global network of small, trusted agricultural communities for the production of pure oils, the extraordinary raw material at the base of the Coccoon cosmetic line that we would create a few years later.

The impact that large-scale coconut oil production has on the environment, on local communities, and the serious risks of contamination of this product within the dirty and rich oil market, pushed us to want to do our part to create a sustainable alternative for the processing of this precious oil, which would respect human, animal and environmental resources and enhance biodiversity.

We wrote a long detailed project. On April 14th, 2015, our work was approved by the School's Research Valorization Committee and Loliettoo® officially took shape as a University Spin-off.

Field explorations began. Indonesia was our destination, being the most important center of origin for the coconut palm. After numerous trips with backpacks and our project in our pockets, we arrived on the island of Bali.

 

The meeting with Kanti, the Balinese jungle, and a promise kept

Among lush gardens and spontaneously growing palms, we immediately breathed harmony with nature, care for resources, slowness, and authenticity. We met Kanti and visited her agricultural community. It was love at first sight: with her and the other women farmers, we made a pact of trust and mutual respect: no intermediaries, only a short, clean, and fair supply chain, and the guarantee of a university brand.

Right there, in a remote area of the island of Bali that we do not reveal to protect it, our cold-pressed virgin coconut oil is born, the same oil that feeds the entire local agricultural community that lives thanks to a clean circular economy without waste, of which we are an integral part.

That same pure oil is the main ingredient of all Coccoon cosmetic formulations.

 

Ethical cosmetics made in Italy

Meanwhile, our cosmetic laboratory was taking shape in Tuscany.

And in 2016, inspired by a minimalist, inclusive, and vegan lifestyle, Coccoon was born: the solid, unisex, hypoallergenic, multi-purpose, biodegradable cosmetic line suitable for the whole family.

At that time, another life was also being born: Lucia, our first daughter.

While she was growing inside me, the first jars of Coccoon coconut oil ready for sale here on our e-commerce and in some selected stores were also taking shape.

In the eighth month of pregnancy, ready to face a new adventure, we moved to the United States, where we still live with our family which, in 2019 and then in 2024, expanded to welcome two new Coccoon testimonials, Levi and Lapo. With them came new products, developed with the same love and commitment that has guided us from the beginning.

 

Coccoon is more than a cosmetic line: it is a lifestyle choice

Coccoon is born from the deep desire to change the world for the better with a positive impact on the planet and people's lives.

Our commitment is aimed at promoting environmental and social sustainability to create a greener, more inclusive and serene future for future generations.

We must learn to reduce consumption, recognize the essential, and build healthy, respectful and low environmental impact habits.

Eco-minimalism is the lifestyle with which Coccoon wants to inspire a revolutionary change in the world of natural cosmetics as well as in everyday life, contributing to a more equitable, healthy and beautiful world for everyone.

 

Each product is hypoallergenic, multifunctional (for everything, everyone and the whole family), long-lasting and biodegradable, and is the result of a virtuous system that respects human, animal and environmental resources, from A to Z.

Because true beauty is natural, sustainable and shared.

And it always starts with a conscious choice.
