Coconut Cold-Pressed Oil
Cocos nucifera
Versatile Hydration for Skin, Hair & Beyond
Extracted by mechanically pressing fresh coconut meat without heat or chemicals, this unrefined, virgin oil retains its full spectrum of nutrients. Rich in lauric acid (a potent antimicrobial), vitamin E, and medium-chain fatty acids, it delivers deep moisturizing benefits while forming a protective barrier on skin and hair. Ideal for dry or damaged skin, it soothes flakiness, softens rough patches, and adds luminous hydration. For hair, it penetrates strands to reduce protein loss, tame frizz, and boost shine. Also a popular base for oil pulling, DIY body scrubs, and natural makeup removers. Solid at room temperature, liquid when warmed—non-greasy when used sparingly. Shelf-stable for 18–24 months; store in a cool, dark place.
Lyddies Botanics’ Note: Certified organic, sustainably sourced from smallholder farms in Southeast Asia, and 100% raw. A pantry-to-skin staple for multipurpose wellness. 🌴
