When Medford sisters Letisha Brown Izuchi and Zeena Brown embarked on a journey to heal their skin after years of struggling with severe acne, they never could have predicted their resulting entrepreneurial success.
After three years of research and development, the Medford women launched Brown and Coconut, their all-natural, plant-based skin care company, in 2016 and have since experienced incredible growth. It was through their own personal battles with skin care that the business was born.
“We embarked on a journey in making our own skincare and stumbled on some pretty great recipes that worked for us, so we thought why not try to share with the world,” said Brown Izuchi, co-founder.
