Coconut Oil - 100% USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC - 500ml

This organic Coconut oil is cold pressed from fresh white coconut flesh. Coconut oil is cooling, moisturizing, and rich in protein making it ideal for many kinds of massage and external applications. Its cooling and moisturizing qualities relax and heal the skin. This helps to relieve muscular tension while restoring natural tone and surface tension to the skin, making it soft, supple, and wrinkle free. Coconut oil is rich in the vitamins E, K and minerals such as iron which are readily absorbed by the skin due to its relaxing and opening of the pores. In addition, it has known anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, and anti-oxidant components which combined with its cooling nature render it especially effective for the soothing and healing of dry skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, or other skin affections such as acne, boils, or even small wounds. Coconut oil is also a good source of iron, which in combination with its other qualities make it a good tonic for the blood, which helps to regenerate and revitalize the skin. It can be used both on the skin and the hair, and is an effective agent against dandruff and dry scalp. However, coconut oil should be gently warmed prior to being used for massage, as it is solid at most room temperatures. It is also great for use in cooking as it is both tasty and bears an abundance of healthy fats and fatty acids. Though coconut oil is almost 90% saturated fats, these are medium length fats which assimilate well into the body. They are immediately converted into energy rather than into stored fat. Principal among these, comprising almost 40%, is the acclaimed Lauric acid which is found elsewhere only in human breast milk. Lauric acid is converted in the body into monolaurin which is a notable anti-microbial and anti-bacterial agent, and essential for auto-immune support. This Coconut oil is cold pressed and 100% USDA Organic. It is grown at our jungle farm in Karnataka, India.
