Coconut oil, also known
as coconut butter, is a tropical
oil extracted from copra (the
dried inner flesh of coconuts)
with many applications.
Coconut oil constitutes
seven percent of the total
export income of the
Philippines, the world's
largest exporter of the
product.
Coconut oil was
developed as a commercial
product by merchants in the
South Seas and South Asia
in the 1860s.
Coconut oil consists
mainly of very fluid saturated
fatty acids, which are close
to human sub-cutaneous fat,
and is therefore more
compatible with skin than
most vegetable oils.
An excellent moisturising
and protective oil. It helps to
keep the skin soft and supple
without being sticky. It is ideal
for treating sensitive and
damaged skin. Can be
blended with other vegetable
oils.
Fractionated, refined
coconut oil is free from
impurities, more readily
assimilated by the skin and
has good keeping
qualities.
Latin Name: cocus
nucifera
A light fractionated oil
that is easily absorbed.
Excellent for a massage with
the delicately fragranced oils
as it does not have an
aroma of its own. Liquid at
room temperature. |
