What is Coconut Oil?
Coconut oil is made from coconuts that grow on palm trees. Coconut oil is extracted from the flesh of the coconut, which consists of up to 65% oil, by pressing the flesh to release the oil.
Everywhere in the world where coconut palms grow, people have used coconut oil for thousands of years for food, medicine, hair care and skin care. It has been called the 'Tree of Life'.
Coconut is not botanically a nut, but it is classified as a fruit.
What does Coconut Oil help with?
Coconut helps with almost everything and can be used for almost everything. It is a very versatile oil that is full of good fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. The coconut oil molecules are small so that they penetrate well into the skin and provide a very good moisturizing effect while also binding moisture to the skin. Therefore, coconut oil is very good to use when you have dry skin.
Coconut oil can also heal wounds and irritated skin because it is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory.
What is special about our Coconut?
We use almost everything you can get out of a coconut. Our coconut oil is certified organic and cold pressed to retain all the nutrients. We can also extract different fractions from the coconut so that you get different ingredients you need when formulating, for example, a cream, in a completely natural way.
