Description
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 ground (to obtain fine
flakes) and dried. After drying the white meat goes true a screw
press to extract the oil. The oil gets filtered afterward to result
in clear oil. Ingredients Organic cold-pressed coconut oil.
COCONUT OIL, **0% 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 *0% of Lauric acid (saturated C*2 chain).
COCONUT OIL provides emollient properties and is great for
moisturizing, which makes it useful to be used in all cosmetic
formulations. COCONUT OIL is specially indicated for lipstick,
makeup, 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.
