COCONUT BASE OIL – ORGANIC – EDIBLE Base Oils are used either as a necessary carrier, which will integrate the essential oils for use in aromatherapy and cosmetology, or undiluted in cosmetic treatment. It is therefore important that they are 100% pure, just like all precious “Biologus” Base Oils. Organic and extra virgin, very high quality. Coconut Oil has international recognition for its caring properties. It is produced from cold-pressed ripe coconuts and has an exotic aroma. COMPOSITION Rich in lauric acid, Vitamin E and medium chain fatty acids. MEDICINAL USE Coconut Oil, thanks to its unique and valuable composition but also to 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 a variety of beneficial and unique effects, relative 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 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 to the body since they go straight to the liver, where they are used as a quick source of energy or converted to ketones. Ketones can have powerful benefits for the brain and are scientifically studied as a treatment for epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, etc. COSMETIC USE Coconut Oil is famous as an anti-aging agent because it penetrates the deeper 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. As an ingredient in hair masks, it fights frizz, dry skin, dandruff and dry hair. Ideal as an ingredient for make-up removal products since it is not resisted even by the “hardest” waterproof mascara. In a facial mask, it works as both a moisturizer and an antibacterial. Effectively moisturizes very dry parts of the body, such as heels and elbows, while, in sun lotion, it protects against radiation (natural UV 10 protection) and dryness. Favorite ingredient for moisturizing lipbalms, for night face creams, for anti-cellulite massage but also for fresh breath and whiter teeth! COOKING SECRET As an edible, coconut oil gives food an exotic flavor and is a very healthy alternative that metabolizes much faster and increases fat burning!
