Coconut 92 Degree Oil

Composition and therapeutic and prophylactic effect of coconut oil

The content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic omega-6 acid and linolenic omega-3 acid) in coconut oil is insignificant and amounts to about 0.5%.

Coconut oil also contains betaines, ethoxylates of fatty esters, ethanolamides, polysorbates, monoglycerides, polyols of esters, vitamins (A, E, B1, B2, B3, K and C), iron, calcium, phosphorus and other macro and microelements ...
