Cold Pressed Organic Pure Extra Virgin Coconut Oil for Hair

Coconut oil is a natural edible oil extracted from the meat or kernel of mature coconuts harvested from the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). It is a white, solid fat at room temperature in cooler climates and a clear, liquid oil in warmer temperatures.

It’s one of the most popular oils globally due to its versatile uses in cooking, cosmetics, and health, though it also comes with some controversy regarding its health impacts.

1. Source: It comes from the “meat” (the white, inner part) of mature brown coconuts.
2. Composition: Its most defining characteristic is its high concentration of saturated fats (about 82-90%), which is why it’s solid at room temperature. However, unlike many animal-based saturated fats, most of the fats in coconut oil are Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs).
