Cocos Nucifera Oil

Cocos Nucifera Oil is extracted from the meat of mature coconuts and is composed primarily of saturated fatty acids, particularly lauric acid (45-50%) and myristic acid. This unique fatty acid profile gives it natural antimicrobial properties and excellent skin conditioning benefits, making it solid at room temperature but melting readily on skin contact. Formulators value coconut oil for its versatility, long shelf life, and ability to provide both moisturizing and protective benefits while maintaining a light, non-greasy feel.
