Coconut Oil is one of the most common raw materials used in the soap and toiletry industry. It comes from the seeds of Cocos Nucifera and is primarily cultivated from Southeast Asia and the Philippines. The compact molecular structure of coconut oil allows it to be absorbed easily through the skin. The oil makes an ideal ointment for the relief of dry, rough skin. Coconut oil also is rich in lauric acid, which is known for its cleansing properties. Coconut Oil can penetrate hair better than other oils. Bonus! It smells like cookies.
