1 minute read

By Shawn Hayes

Organic, unrefined coconut oil is the versatile, pure oil of a coconut. It has never come in contact with pesticides or herbicides and has never been bleached, filtered or chemically altered in any way.

Cooking

Organic, unrefined coconut oil has a high flash point, making it the perfect oil to cook at higher temperatures or fry with.

Hair

Organic and unrefined coconut oil is a perfect replacement for your daily conditioner. It may also be used as a hot-oil treatment, and left in the hair for a longer period of time, as it is a stable oil and will not break down or evaporate like typical conditioners.

Skin

Coconut oil is loaded with nourishing vitamin E. It helps soothe cracked skin, prevents wrinkles and promotes healthy skin cell growth.

Diet

Taking a spoonful of coconut oil, a few times a day, will help boost your metabolism, keep you full longer and provide sustained energy. It is a safe and beneficial addition to any diet regimen.

Immune Booster

Unrefined coconut oil contains short- and medium-chain fatty acids, which are antimicrobial. This means they possess strong antiviral and antibacterial properties and protect the body from infection.
