Virgin Coconut Oil

Virgin Coconut Oil, as it has come to be known, differs from regular refined, bleached and deodorized coconut oil because it is extracted from freshly cut coconuts, not the dried copra. It has not been subjected to high temperatures, solvents or refinement procedures. 

This Virgin Coconut Oil is obtained from freshly harvested coconut meat that has been grated and then expeller pressed to produce the coconut milk. This milk is then centrifuged to separate the milk into coconut solids, water and oil. This separation is so thorough that the oil has no moisture left in it to promote rancidity, and the oil does not need to undergo any further heating to remove moisture. This method yields the finest, creamiest, most flavorful coconut oil possible. 

Virgin Coconut Oil is light and penetrating with excellent shelf life and stability. It smells of fresh coconut milk. Virgin Coconut Oil is solid at room temperature and performs similarly to Jojoba, Illipe and Shea butter. It is creamier at warmer room temperatures and is firmer at cooler temperatures. 

Properties:

• Moisturizes and protects skin/hair
• Anti-fungal
• Lends oxidative stability to formulations in which it is used
• High in unsaponifiables, making it a wonderful oil in soaps
• High Vitamin E content
• When used as a carrier for essential oils, it encapsulates the oil and prevents evaporation of the volatile components.
• Typically solid at room temperature

Uses:

• Virgin Coconut Oil is an excellent superfatting agent in soaps.
• Use it as a carrier for essential oils or oils such as neem to help deliver the oils under the skin.
• It is a wonderful base oil for lotion, cream, body butter and lip balm formulations.
• It can be included in hair oil formulations to condition and increase manageability and sheen.
• It is a suitable non-greasy, non-staining massage oil.
