New Jersey family-owned personal-care brand KAFX Body has received U.S. Patent No. 12,746,194 for its coffee-oil deodorant technology.

Manasquan, New Jersey — September 29, 2026 — KAFX Body, a family-owned personal-care company founded by Skip and Paige Chapman, has received U.S. Patent No. 12,746,194 covering its coffee-oil deodorant technology.

The patent issues on National Coffee Day, an unusually fitting milestone for a product built around coffee-infused oil as a key functional ingredient.

KAFX Body began with a simple family problem. Skip and Paige were trying to find a deodorant that worked well for their three teenage sons without relying on ingredients that had caused irritation in the past. After experimenting with different formulations, they developed a deodorant using coffee-infused coconut oil as part of the odor-control system.

What started as a product made for their own family quickly became a much larger business.

A TikTok video explaining the story behind the deodorant went viral, reaching millions of viewers and introducing KAFX Body to customers across the country. Since then, the company has sold more than 80,000 deodorants, shipped to customers in all 50 states, built a network of more than 3,000 affiliates, and developed a growing line of personal-care products using its coffee-infused oil technology.

KAFX Body continues to manufacture, pack, and fulfill products in-house in New Jersey with a small team.

The newly issued patent represents an important step in protecting the product innovation that helped build the company.

What the patent covers

U.S. Patent No. 12,746,194 relates to deodorant technology incorporating coffee-derived oil components.

In practical terms, KAFX Body’s formulation uses coffee-infused oil as part of a natural deodorant system designed to help neutralize odor while avoiding several ingredients commonly found in conventional deodorants.

KAFX Body’s deodorants are made without aluminum, baking soda, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, or dyes.

From family experiment to national brand

KAFX Body was not originally launched as a large consumer-products company.

The business grew from a product Skip and Paige created for their own sons, then accelerated after social media introduced the brand to a much larger audience.

Live social commerce became an important part of that growth. KAFX Body now sells through TikTok Shop, its own website, Amazon, wholesale partners, and other emerging retail channels.

The company has also used direct customer feedback from live selling and social media to develop additional products, including body butter sticks, hair and beard serums, hard cologne, 3-in-1 washes, soaps, eye serums, and other personal-care products featuring its coffee-infused oil technology.

A new stage for KAFX Body

The patent comes as KAFX Body begins moving into a new phase of growth.

The company is actively exploring larger retail, wholesale, distribution, export, and strategic partnership opportunities while continuing to manufacture and operate from New Jersey.

For Skip and Paige, the patent is both a business milestone and a validation of a product that started with a problem inside their own home.

“We never started this thinking we were going to invent something that would eventually be patented,” said Skip Chapman, co-founder of KAFX Body. “We were just trying to make something that worked for our sons. To see that idea grow into a business, and now into patented technology, is pretty incredible.”
