News 12's Eric Landskroner is checking out KafX for this week's Made In New Jersey. KafX's motto is "Coffee Kills, Body Odor” and their secret is in coffee infused oil. The Manasquan-based company uses coffee infused oil to make deodorant.

Owner Skip Chapman is a longtime gym owner whose business got hit hard during the pandemic. He started selling his own java-based beard care products online to help pay the bills.

Chapman and his family sell beard oils, beard balms, beard butters and all-natural alternative deodorant, from Ocean Jetty and Sandalwood to Coconut Cove and Citrus Blast.

Chapman says police and nurses have told him he's on to something, and that they've used coffee to get rid of stubborn odors for years.
