Who we are

LOCAO (pronounced Lo-cao)We’re three choccy milk lovers who grew up, but the options didn’t. As our bodies changed, we struggled to find a delicious, non-dairy alternative that we could grab on the go whether it’s post-run, post-night-out, or just because nothing hits like chocolate milk.So, we made LOCAO: A healthy, plant-based twist on your favorite classic. Creamy, indulgent, and refreshingly guilt-free.

Our Ethos

Our Promise to you

At LOCAO, we’re passionate about creating a drink that everyone can enjoy. We've poured countless hours into perfecting our recipe, ensuring that every sip is as delicious as it is guilt-free. Quality is at the heart of everything we do, and we’re proud to deliver a product that’s as indulgent as it is refreshing.

Your Satisfaction, Our Priority

We put you first. Whether it's post-run, post-night-out, or simply craving something indulgent, our goal is to ensure you can always count on us. Our commitment is to keep LOCAO in stock and ready for whenever you need it most.

Transparency in Sourcing

Unlike many brands that leave you guessing about where their products are made or where the coconuts come from, we believe in complete transparency. While we’d love to manufacture in Australia, doing so would require importing coconuts from overseas, potentially compromising product quality. Instead, we’ve chosen to manufacture where we can guarantee the best quality and consistency, ensuring you always get the freshest product possible.

Why We Don’t Manufacture in Australia

Australia doesn’t grow coconuts as effectively as countries in the tropical regions. For us to source high-quality coconuts locally, we’d have to face significant challenges, including importing coconut water from overseas, something we want to avoid for quality assurance.

A Long Journey to Perfection

We never thought it would be easy to develop this product. The journey has been tough, but we’ve learned that the reason great coconut water hasn’t been available is that it’s a challenging process. Big corporations dominate the market, but we, as a small business, didn’t want to cut corners. Our approach is to work with the right people, even if it takes longer. We spent time sourcing the best suppliers and visited the manufacturing facilities ourselves to ensure the process meets our high standards.

Small Brand, Big Responsibility

As a small, growing brand, sustainability is a top priority for us. We are committed to reducing overconsumption, especially concerning coconuts. While larger coconut water companies may prioritise scale, we are conscious of the environmental impact, and we’re dedicated to being transparent about our practices.

Where the Product is Made

Made in Vietnam
Our coconut water is sourced and manufactured in Vietnam, where the coconuts are grown in optimal conditions. This ensures the highest quality and consistency in every bottle.

Sustainability at Every Step
We’ve chosen to manufacture our product in Vietnam to guarantee both the quality of the coconuts and the ethical standards of the production process. Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do, and this decision reflects our commitment to environmental responsibility.

Recyclable Packaging

We’re on a journey toward fully sustainable packaging, with a commitment to making every part of our product 100% recyclable. While we know we still have work to do, sustainability is at the heart of every decision we make. By reducing waste and prioritising eco-friendly solutions, we’re moving closer to a greener future one step at a time. And don’t worry: our drink is so good you won’t waste a drop. With a shelf life of 18 months, you can enjoy it whenever you like, confident it’s better for you and kinder to the planet.
