Biologos Organic Virgin Coconut Oil 330ml COCONUT BASE OIL – ORGANIC – EDIBLE Base Oils incorporate essential oils for use in aromatherapy, cosmetology and cosmetic care. It is important that they are 100% pure, just like all the precious "Biologos" Base Oils. Organic and extra virgin with very high quality. Coconut Oil is internationally recognized for its caring properties. It is produced from mature coconuts by cold pressing and has an exotic aroma. The product is rich in lauric acid , Vitamin E and medium chain fatty acids . HEAT 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 stimulates the body's metabolism and increases energy levels in the body. It is rich in healthy saturated fats that have various beneficial and unique effects, compared to other fats, in the diet. These fats can enhance fat burning and provide the body and brain with immediate energy. They also increase good HDL cholesterol in the blood, which is associated with 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, since they go directly 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 scientifically studied as a treatment for epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and more. COSMETIC PROPERTIES Coconut Oil is widely known as an anti-aging agent because it penetrates the deepest layers of the skin, offering rich hydration and reconstruction. It removes dead cells, making a natural "peeling" that leaves the skin renewed, bright and velvety. 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. In a facial care mask, it works as both a moisturizer and an antibacterial. It effectively moisturizes very dry areas of the body, such as heels and elbows, while, in a sun lotion, it protects against radiation (natural UV 10 protection) and dryness. A favorite ingredient for moisturizing lip balms, night face creams, anti-cellulite massages, and even for fresh breath and whiter teeth! USE IN COOKING 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.
