Our Story
West Island Co. is a brand specializing in grooming and skincare products.
We are a team of passionate active individuals that want to share our knowledge and provide a refined grooming experience dedicated to quality, style, and diversity.
"For us, we always understood the importance of men's grooming, but found the space lacked diversity and representation...there wasn't a brand that spoke to us.
So we created a brand that not only supports the day-to-day grooming lifestyle and acts as a source of inspiration, but also embraces and is a part of the culture and diversity surrounding it."
- Mark A. Cadiz, Founder & Brand Director
Why 'West Island'?
Merging our westernized identity with our rooted connections overseas - WEST ISLAND CO. was born.
Together 'West Island' defines our values, our identity—and as a brand we’ve taken our creativity behind our experiences to our grooming and skincare products.

Experience
Since our inception in 2018 we've dedicated ourselves to refining the grooming experience with products that are eco-conscious, simple and effective.
Our goal, as we take on this journey, is to cover the day-to-day essentials all guys need—ensuring a healthier, better groomed, stylish you.
Our plans
We spent over a year testing a variety of formulas looking for the right mix of ingredients and we continue to experiment and innovate. From beard care to skincare, we got you!
A huge thanks to the men's grooming community and the industry OGs for being so generous with their knowledge and expertise as it's helped us tremendously with our ongoing journey.
