About Macoo
Macoo is the second cooking oil in the SCS range, sold in a 900ml bottle and a twenty-litre container — a pairing that covers the two ends of the Cameroonian market, the single-household bottle bought in a neighbourhood shop and the bulk drum bought by a restaurant or a reseller. It is refined at the same Bafoussam plants and under the same laboratory controls as Star Oil, and sits below the flagship as the company's everyday-price oil rather than as a different kind of product.

About the owner: SCS
SCS is a privately held company headquartered in Bafoussam, Cameroon, founded in 1989. Brandtree records 6 brands under its control.
The Société Camerounaise de Savonnerie (SCS S.A.) is a Cameroonian soap maker and edible-oil refiner founded in 1989 by Fotso Jean II, and based at Kamkop in Bafoussam, in the country's Western region. It runs two connected businesses out of the same plants — refining palm oil for the table and boiling household soap — and says it operates a modern analysis laboratory so that everything leaving its production units meets international standards as well as Cameroonian food quality and safety rules. It sells its oils and soaps through an online shop as well as the trade, and presents itself as a company involved in local education, community health and environmental programmes.
