COSM’OIL® COCO

1 of 61 products in this brand
Cocos Nucifera Oil is derived from the Coconut tree (Cocos nucifera). The Coconut tree belongs to the family of the Arecaceae, and reaches a height of around 12-15m. A tall coconut palm tree can yield up to 75 fruits per year, but more often yields less than 30 mainly due to poor cultural practices. A coconut fruit is actually a one-seeded drupe. On the outside is the husk, which is initially green but turns brown after being picked and dried. The first process in the virgin organic coconut oil production is the production of coconut milk. This process consists of grinding and pressing of coconut meat. The yielding milk is rich in fat that represents up to 40% content by weight.

Key Attributes
  • High in anti-aging and healing - vitamins A, C and E – Coconut oil has multiple beneficial properties that deliver intense moisture without the potential side effects of a mineral oil.
  • The key ingredient of Coconut Oil, lauric acid, makes it a great natural antiviral, antibacterial and antiprozoal agent.
  • Coconut oil is used in many mosquito repellents as a natural product, rather than using Deet. Just by eating it or using it as a shampoo or face cream could ward of those pesky bugs.
  • Coconut oil is anti-inflamatory, so it’s possible it would bring some relief from bug bites, as it promotes healing.
  • Coconut oil is very soothing and hence it helps in removing stress. Applying coconut oil to the head followed with a gentle massage helps in removing mental fatigue.
