Virgin Organic Coconut Oil by Cebra ethical skincare
This organic virgin coconut oil comes from the Pacific Islands. It has been obtained through hydraulic hand pressing of coconut flesh. With its lovely coconut aroma, it is incredibly luxurious and exotic.
Virgin coconut oil is highly renowned for its many health-giving properties and is very different to most other fats. It is now known to contain about 50% lauric acid (found abundantly in human breast milk), a unique form of essential fatty acid (medium chain fatty acid or MCFA), which has a positive effect on health & the prevention of disease. It has been described as ‘the healthiest oil on earth’.
Among the health benefits, it is said to be:
- Highly moisturizing & excellent for very dry, flaky skin conditions
- Soothes nappy rash & cradle cap
- Good for wrinkled, sagging & aging skin due to its emollient and powerful antioxidant properties
- Works with the sebum, sweat & good bacteria present on the skin to destroy bad bacteria, maintain the acid mantle and control acne conditions
- Has the ability to kill bacteria, fungi and viruses
- Protection from the damaging effects of the sun due to its antioxidant properties (although coconut oil should not be treated as a sunscreen alone)
- Has a long tradition as a substance that improves the health of the hair giving it shine a lustre
- Can be used as a natural deodorant for the underarm area
- Produces a rich lather
