Coconut oil is a highly stable and known to have antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. This is mainly due to the fact it contains extremely high levels of the medium chain fatty acid ‘Lauric Acid’ (also found in mother’s breast milk).Your skin naturally releases the protective oil sebum. Sebum protects our skin from drying out and helps resist infection but as we age or this function is compromised, our skin can become very dry and more susceptible to bacteria. Organic Coconut Oil tends to function in a similar way to sebum on the skin forming an antiseptic layer, helping to protect as well as moisturise. Being a very stable saturated fat, coconut oil is not broken down by free radicals, and thus helps protect the skin against free radical damage and assists in speeding up the process of healing.
Coconut oil melts at skin temperature and is easily absorbed by the skin making it a very effective protective and nutrient rich moisturizer. It will help keep your skin smooth, soft and supple, it’s suitable for all skin types and may assist in the treatment of many skin conditions such as psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema.
This moisturising and protective quality also applies to hair. Coconut oil will give your hair strength and helps to keep the scalp healthy and free from dandruff. People living in the tropics have long known the benefits of using coconut oil and not surprisingly have beautiful skin and hair.
