COCONUT BASE OIL – ORGANIC – EDIBLE Base Oils are used either as a necessary carrier, which will incorporate essential oils for use in aromatherapy and cosmetology, or pure in cosmetic care. It is, therefore, important that they are 100% pure, just like all the precious “Biologos” Base Oils. Organic and extra virgin, very high quality. Coconut Oil has international recognition for its caring properties. It is produced from mature coconuts by cold pressing and has an exotic aroma. COMPOSITION Rich in: Vitamin E. Lauric acid. Medium chain fatty acids. HEALING USE Coconut Oil, thanks to its unique and valuable composition and its production method, which ensures high purity and quality, has the title of the healthiest oil of all. It increases energy levels in the body and stimulates the body's metabolism. It is rich in healthy saturated fats which have various beneficial and unique effects, compared to other fats, in the diet. These fats can boost fat burning and provide the body and brain with immediate energy. They also increase good HDL cholesterol in the blood, which is linked to a reduced risk of heart disease. Most fats in the diet are called long-chain triglycerides, but the fats in Coconut Oil are known as medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which makes them more beneficial for the body, as they go straight to the liver, where they are used as a quick source of energy or converted into ketones. Ketones can have powerful benefits for the brain and are being studied scientifically as a treatment for epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and more. COSMETIC USE Coconut Oil is famous as an anti-aging agent as it penetrates the deepest layers of the skin, offering deep hydration and reconstruction. It removes dead cells, making a natural "peeling" that leaves the skin renewed, bright and velvety. In a facial mask, it works as both a moisturizer and an antibacterial. As an ingredient in hair masks, it combats frizz, dry skin, dandruff and dry hair. Ideal as an ingredient for makeup remover products since not even the "hardest" waterproof mascara can resist it. It effectively moisturizes very dry areas of the body, such as heels and elbows, while, in sun lotions, it protects against radiation (natural UV 10 protection) and dryness. A favorite ingredient for moisturizing lipbalms, for night face creams, for anti-cellulite massages, but also for fresh breath and whiter teeth! COOKING SECRET As an edible, coconut oil gives an exotic flavor to food and is a very healthy alternative that is metabolized much faster and increases fat burning!
