Coconut Extra Virgin Oil

The benefits of coconut oil

Due to its richness of beneficial substances, coconut oil is recommended for the treatment of split ends and brittle curls, dry or inflamed skin, in particular for the face and neck. It also helps fight wrinkles on the face and has an antibacterial effect. It is used to improve digestion and brain function. It is also indispensable in the fight against tooth decay and plaque, and also helps to cope with excess weight, having a positive effect on metabolism.

Cold pressed

This method is more delicate and allows you to preserve all the useful properties, but it is used less often by manufacturers, and there are a number of reasons for this. In this way, you can get no more than 10% of the oil contained in coconut. So the availability of expensive modern cold-pressing presses does not relieve the manufacturer of the need to keep a hot-pressing line as well. This makes the process more expensive.

Cold-pressed fresh coconut pulp is ground and oil is squeezed out under a conventional press. From a thousand coconuts, each weighing almost 1.5 kg, comes out about 170 kg of pulp, from which you can extract only 70 liters of natural cold-pressed coconut oil.

Such oil can be distinguished by the inscription Virgin or Extra Virgin Coconut Oil on the label.

How To Use For Hair?

Coconut oil is a good remedy for split ends and brittle hair, but it is best not to apply it to curls damaged by dyeing or perms. In this case, chemically-dried hair is enveloped in an oil film, which interferes with moisture.

It is left on the hair for a couple of hours or even overnight. The mask is also rubbed into the scalp, but it is recommended to do this no more than four times a month.

To moisturize dry skin, it is best to apply it after a bath or shower. Apply a tablespoon to damp skin with massaging movements, then rub it with a towel. You can also add oil directly to the water while taking a bath.

You can also use coconut oil as a body scrub if you add salt or brown sugar to it. It is applied both on the entire skin and on especially coarse areas, for example, on the elbows or soles of the feet.
