From lip balms, the company has now expanded to include hand creams and sunscreens and is researching and developing more products under the same philosophy of people maintaining an eco-friendly and organic lifestyle.
Lavery is taking the beauty industry into another level, focused on her mission has recently expanded her line of products to include indulgent hand cream, which is certified clean and cruelty free. CoCaBee hand cream soaks right into your skin and comes in four
long-lasting scents, lotus, vanilla, sweet orange, and lavender, all packaged in an eco-friendly bamboo jar, just like the lip balms. “There’s no need to put harsh chemicals on your body when nature provides us with powerful skincare ingredients,” says Lavery. “Every CoCaBee product is handmade in Canada using natural ingredients, making
them the perfect eco-friendly addition to your beauty routine.
Technology is changing and growing, companies are becoming aware that e-commerce is growing at a fast rate. “Our company is aware of the shopping sites. We think this is great because our vision is not to have CoCaBee as a storefront physically but as a distributor that manufactures and sells on line as well as having a store front online. This helps and stops with overhead cost running a store physically with hydro electric bills even customers driving to purchase. We are saving all of that by keeping everything on line.” says Lavery.
CoCaBee future product’s will continue to mold and change to keep at our motto as being natural and safe and eco-friendly. To purchase CoCaBee products, visit CoCaBee.com
NY Glam: Tell us a little bit about you and your start with the company?
Being in the fashion industry at a young age, I was quickly introduced to many different skincare and lip care products. I noticed my lips chapped and dry, and I was continually trying new brands of lip chaps out that could keep my lips hydrated, as well I was becoming very consciously aware of the ingredient labels I was reading. There are a lot of preservatives and chemicals in skincare products also plastic in some lip chaps that you digest every time you apply.
So I decided to try and make my own lip balm and with trial and error I finally made my own lip balm. My friends and family started to use it and fell in love with it instantly. I decided from there to start my own body care product line called CoCaBee, with non toxic all natural ingredients against animal testing and the packaging bamboo eco friendly safe that does not harm our beautiful planet.
