Coconut Oil Benefits


We use coconut oil as a basis in many of our ingredients. It has several nutritional benefits and turns out that it’s great for your skin too, so much so we have decided to share what makes this oil so amazing.
  • Coconut oil is a dry oil (leaving a less greasy feeling) that absorbs into the skin rather quickly. It’s touted for its antimicrobial and antibacterial benefits.
  • Because of its fast absorbency, coconut oil helps combat wrinkles and dry skin. It also helps that it’s rich in antioxidants, which helps prevent aging.
  • It works great as a makeup remover, as it hydrates the skin and doesn’t clog the pores. Keep in mind that this oil solidifies in temperatures below 70-degrees (taking on butter-like texture) and liquefies in higher temps. It works wonders on removing makeup, including the waterproof kind.
  • Use coconut oil in place of shaving cream or soap; once again it leaves skin looking smooth and smelling fresh – coconutty to be exact.
  • An excellent hair and scalp moisturizer, use this when conditioning and/or washing your hair. It helps add shine and luster to hair due to its quick absorbency in the skin. Attention natural hair girls: you also can use this oil to help seal your dry ends.
