Organic Coconut Oil, Refined

The use of Organic Coconut Oil in the cosmetics industry

Our refined organic coconut oil is white in color and has a mild, neutral scent. It is solid at temperatures below approximately 20 °C and becomes liquid at temperatures between approximately 24 °C and 29 °C.

Refined organic coconut oil is obtained by pressing dried coconut meat (copra). The oil is subsequently refined to achieve a more neutral odor and appearance.

In cosmetic formulations, refined organic coconut oil is valued for its smooth texture and skin-conditioning properties. The oil melts upon contact with the skin and leaves a pleasant, non-greasy skin feel.

Refined organic coconut oil is commonly used in emulsions, lip care products, soaps, masks, shampoos, conditioners, and hair treatments. Due to its neutral scent and versatile properties, it is suitable for a wide range of cosmetic skin and hair care formulations and is often used as a carrier oil in combination with other cosmetic oils.

We also offer cold-pressed organic coconut oil and organic coconut oil for the food industry.

Interesting things

The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) most likely originates from the Malay Archipelago. Today, it is widespread throughout all tropical regions, thriving in favorable climates and benefiting from the buoyancy of its fruit, which facilitates natural dispersal through water, a mechanism known as hydrochory.

The coconut tree has a tall, columnar trunk, 30-35 m high, without branches, often slightly curved at the base, crowned with large, feathery leaves. The fruits, coconuts, grow in clusters under the leaves. A mature palm tree can produce 60-160 nuts per year, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
