Coconut oil, virgin, certified organic
Organic virgin coconut oil is extracted from the fresh flesh of the Cocos nucifera fruit without undergoing refining, bleaching, or deodorising. This gentle processing method preserves its natural coconut aroma, creamy texture, and beneficial compounds, making it a prized ingredient in skincare, haircare, and soapmaking. Solid at room temperature, virgin coconut oil requires gentle warming before use. Traditionally used across tropical regions for skin and hair nourishment, it remains a staple in natural formulations today.
