Kaselehlie! Ran annim! Paing kowos! and Mogethin!

Greetings from the islands of the Federated States of Micronesia. We’re very excited to introduce a new, national product to the World: Isla Nesia.

Isla Nesia products are a range of coconut based skin and hair care, and cooking oils made from 100% virgin coconut oil. Our products are unique because they are sourced, made and distributed in Micronesia. This means if you buy Isla Nesia, you are supporting Micronesian coconut farmers and local communities. We are the only coconut products company that directly benefits the local and national economy – and we’re proud of it.

The Island Harvest Premium Virgin Coconut oil is a great substitute for butter in cooking and adds a unique flavour to curries, salad dressings, cakes and desserts. It can also be used to make marinades for meat and fish dishes. It has a lower smoke point at around 350°F and is best for baking and sautéing. Other benefits include:

  • You can use it to grease baking pans.
  • It is more animal friendly than butter and better for the environment.
  • It is vegetarian and vegan friendly.
  • Can also be used on hair and skin as it is cold-pressed and 100% natural.

Why Choose Isla Nesia Coconut Products?

We believe the main reason to buy Isla Nesia coconut products is because they are proudly produced in Micronesia. There are plenty of other reasons relating to environmental sustainability and social benefits of local industry development.

  • Our coconuts are organically grown and locally harvested by hand carefully from our rainforests.
  • Unlike imported coconut products, we don’t grow mass plantations or damage our biodiversity.
  • Isla Nesia products are made with 100% virgin coconut oil, with no bleaching or harmful additives.
  • Isla Nesia soap is sulphate and paraben free.
  • Isla Nesia Island Harvest products are freshly made and have a great natural flavour.

Social Benefits of Our Local Coconut Industry

Isla Nesia is wholly Micronesian owned and operated. We work with coconut farmers from island communities throughout the Federated States of Micronesia. We think creating jobs in Micronesia is important. If you do too, buy Isla Nesia products and support our local economy.

Environmental Stewardship

Isla Nesia is an environmentally responsible brand, and we minimise our carbon footprint and positively contribute to climate change where we can. Coconuts are ethically harvested from wild trees and we do not clear rainforests to create mono-culture plantations. We also practice agroforestry whereby trees and shrubs are integrated into farming systems to create environmental, economic, and social benefits.

History of Isla Nesia and the FSM's Coconut Industry

Coconuts have always played a part in Micronesian island life but the copra industry was not commercially established until the 1870s. Vital CDU has played a relatively short but significant part in this history since 2014.
