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.

Skincare Uses

A deeply moisturising oil: Forms a protective barrier on the skin to help retain hydration and prevent moisture loss.

Naturally rich in lauric acid and antioxidants: Contains beneficial fatty acids that contribute to skin conditioning and nourishment.

A popular choice for body butters and balms: Used in whipped butters, lotions, and salves for its softening properties.

Leaves skin feeling smooth and supple: Absorbs gradually, making it ideal for overnight hydration.

Can be used as a natural makeup remover: Helps break down makeup while leaving the skin moisturised.

Haircare Uses

Conditions and strengthens hair: Helps to reduce dryness and improve hair manageability.

Penetrates the hair shaft: Unlike many oils, coconut oil is known for its ability to deeply nourish the hair rather than just coating the surface.

A common ingredient in hair masks and treatments: Often blended with other botanical oils for intensive conditioning.

Soothes and hydrates the scalp: Used in scalp treatments to provide lightweight moisture and softness.

Soapmaking Uses

Produces a rich, creamy lather: Coconut oil is an excellent lathering agent in cold-process and hot-process soaps.

Adds a mild coconut scent to natural soaps: Unlike RBD coconut oil, virgin coconut oil retains its natural fragrance, which can lending a delicate tropical aroma to formulations.

Contributes to a firm, long-lasting bar: Helps create a durable soap with excellent cleansing properties.

Blends well with other plant-based oils: Commonly paired with olive oil, shea butter, and castor oil to balance hardness and moisture levels in handmade soaps.

Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known allergies or skin sensitivities.
