Virgin Coconut Oil

Virgin coconut oil is made from fresh coconut meat. The production embraces the removal of the bark, the elimination of the brown shell and washing. Then the white meat gets grounded (to obtain fine flakes) and dried. After drying the white meat goes true a screw press to extract the oil. The oil gets filtered afterwards to result in a clear oil. Ingredients Organic cold pressed coconut oil. COCONUT OIL, 100% natural, is a refined vegetable oil extracted from the dried coconut flesh of Cocos Nucifera (Coconut). COCONUT OIL is one of the vegetable oils that accumulate high levels of saturated fatty acids in the triacylglycerol fraction. COCONUT OIL contains approximately 50% of Lauric acid (saturated C12 chain). COCONUT OIL provides emollient properties and is great for moisturizing, that make it useful to be used in all cosmetic formulations. COCONUT OIL is specially indicated for lipstick, make up and soap makers. The saturated nature of COCONUT OIL provides resistance to rancidity and makes a very hard soap while at the same time producing a fluffy lather. Many cultures use coconut oil straight on their hair and skin for conditioning.
