Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil

Cocos Nucifera Oil is extracted from the meat of mature coconuts and is unique among plant oils for its high concentration of medium-chain fatty acids, particularly lauric acid (45-50%) and myristic acid. This fatty acid profile gives coconut oil its characteristic solid-to-semi-solid consistency at room temperature and exceptional stability against rancidity. Formulators value it for its excellent skin penetration, antimicrobial properties due to lauric acid content, and ability to provide both immediate and long-lasting moisturization without leaving a heavy feel on skin.
