WHAT IS COCONUT OIL
Called the tree of life, coconut is one of the richest products found in nature, usable from roots to leaves and of course to fruit. Typical of warm countries, the coconut palm belongs to the Arecaceae or Palmaceae family, generally distributed along the coasts, enjoying the positive influence of the sea, sandy soil, light and regularly distributed rainfall throughout the year.
Coconut and coconut products play an important economic role in Southeast Asian countries, tropical regions of Latin America and East Africa. Widely used for food purposes, the use of virgin coconut oil abruptly declined in the 20th century as the disproportionate consumption of saturated fatty acids in foods led to an exponential growth in coronary heart disease.
Today, just like centuries past, virgin coconut oil, in addition to being revalued from a food standpoint, is widely used for its important cosmetic properties. Virgin oil is obtained by cold pressing the fresh nut thus preserving its characteristic coconut milk scent, unlike pure coconut oil in which it is necessary to dry the fruit before mechanical pressing, penalizing smell and color.
COMPOSITION
Fruttonero Virgin Coconut Oil, with INCI Cocos Nucifera Oil, is extracted from the pulp of coconuts, by cold pressing, without the use of additives, solvents and refining processes, to obtain a high quality product and safeguarding its active ingredients.
Virgin coconut oil has a fluid consistency and a transparent color in its liquid state, which tends to solidify and turn white, at a temperature between 18 and 20°C.
Its composition is characterized by the high presence of vitamins, such as vitamin A and vitamin C , which attribute hydration and elasticity to the epidermis while reducing dryness, and antioxidant substances. A source of vitamin E, a natural antioxidant, coconut oil limits the negative consequences derived from oxidative stress. The presence of lauric acid also gives the oil important properties for hair care and well-being.
Elasticizing: Makes the superficial layers of the epidermis more elasticMoisturizing: restores softness and moisture to the skinInvigorating: keeps the cell membrane fluid
Protective: protects skin and hair from weathering, especially after long exposures to sun and saltiness
