Say hello to healthy skin with coconut products you’ll go nuts for!
Coconut (Cocos Nucifera L.) has grown in popularity and nowadays there are many options in grocery stores, supermarkets and on the Internet. Versatility and creativity are keywords when it comes to coconut products – from culinary art to cosmetic products, healthcare, coconut kitchenware and even… coconut bikini!
We cook with coconut oil, add it to salads, oatmeal, and coffee, blend it into our shakes and smoothies, and hydrate with coconut water.
Benefits of coconut oil
Coconut oil is used both in the food and cosmetic industries. The purest form is the virgin coconut oil used for cooking, salads or even for topical skin applications (even for the baby’s sensitive skin). It is very nourishing for the skin and internally it protects the heart due to the omega 3 fatty acids that fight bad cholesterol.
This rise in popularity is due to more studies showing the antiviral and antimicrobial benefits of coconut. It is a healthy alternative to milk products that people with dairy and gluten limitations can enjoy. Coconut has nutrients such as vitamins (A, C, D, B6, B12, E), magnesium, calcium, iron, omega 3 fatty acids. The nutrients are more powerful when the product is as close to its natural state – raw.
Is coconut oil right for you?
Coconut oil is pure oil, which makes it act more like a wax. So if you have oily skin, maybe you should approach it with caution. You should most probably avoid it on acne-prone skin and blemishes.
Although more research is needed to clarify the relation between coconut oil and acne, some studies indicate that on its own, lauric acid has been shown to kill the acne-causing bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes.
In one study, lauric acid was more effective at killing these bacteria than benzoyl peroxide — a popular acne treatment.
Coconut oil is highly comedogenic, which means it can clog pores and make acne worse for some people. It acts more like a wax. So if you have oily skin, maybe you should approach it with caution. You should most probably avoid it on acne-prone skin and blemishes.

Fractionated Coconut Oil is a non-greasy, multi-purpose solution for hair, face, body and diluting essential oils. Fractionated coconut oil is made by separating the different types of fats in coconut oil, leaving behind the medium-chain fatty acids, providing the most health benefits. Fractionated oil can remain in liquid form and has a longer shelf life making it perfect for household and personal care products, such as moisturizers, hair conditioners, and massage oils.
It is light in texture, non-greasy and non-staining, and allows other therapeutic oils to more efficiently reach the deeper layers of the skin.
Premium quality fractionated coconut oil – is a fraction of the coconut oil from which almost all the long-chain triglycerides are removed. This liquid form of coconut oil is an excellent moisturizer, it absorbs faster into the skin, and has a non-greasy texture. It also has a longer shelf life, is more stable and generally less is used compared to the other types of coconut oil.
Fractionated coconut oil is also a great carrier for blending with essential oils. It can be mixed with other more expensive carrier oils. It’s excellent as a massage oil and used in aromatherapy recipes.
