About The Coconut Cult
The Coconut Cult manufactures and markets a line of refrigerated, coconut-based yogurts made with organic and vegan ingredients. The company was co-founded by Noah Simon-Waddell, who began experimenting with making yogurt at home as part of his own health journey to address inflammatory issues. What started in his mother's kitchen evolved into a commercial product after positive feedback from friends and family. Depending on the source, the company was founded in 2015, 2016, or 2017, with James Harkin and Jungho Oh also cited as co-founders.
Read full description
Positioned as a premium functional food, the product is more of a daily supplement than a meal. The yogurt is unpasteurized, which preserves the live and active probiotic cultures, and contains a high concentration of up to 50 billion CFUs per one-ounce serving, utilizing 16 different probiotic strains. The products are made in small batches with whole-food ingredients like organic coconut cream and are free from gums, fillers, and artificial additives. The company operates a direct-to-consumer business model through its website and also sells its products through national retailers like Whole Foods, Sprouts, and The Fresh Market. The high price point, approximately $10 for an 8-ounce jar and up to $39 online for a 16-ounce jar, is attributed to the quality of ingredients and the costs of cold-chain logistics.
The Coconut Cult has garnered a significant social media following, often referred to as a "cult following," driven by user reviews and influencer marketing on platforms like TikTok. These channels have amplified claims of the product's benefits, such as improved digestion, reduced bloating, and clearer skin. The brand is known for its core flavors like Original, Chocolate Mousse, and Harvest Strawberry, as well as limited-edition seasonal releases. The company operates manufacturing facilities in San Luis Obispo, California, and Utah to meet growing demand.
