FAQ

Coconut:

COCONUT OIL

• Purecoco coconut oil is a premium oil, naturally extracted from the white flesh of hand harvested, mature coconuts and can be both consumed as part of a balanced diet and used for skin and hair care.
• Use Purecoco coconut oil in place of other oil’s or butter in cooking, baking, frying and whipping (for toppings). Coconut oil has a high heat point meaning it is especially good for high heat cooking.
• Use as a spread on toast in place of butter.
• Coconut oil is solid under 24°C and liquid above this point. This will not change the quality of the oil and is naturally occurring.
• Coconut oil is allergen free (unless allergic to coconut) with a very slight smell and flavour of coconut (not overpowering).
• Great used for all over body massage and safe for use on children, babies, and pets too.
• If you suffer from a dry skin condition coconut oil can be very beneficial when directly applied. It has a soothing and moisturizing effect on the skin. Purecoco coconut oil has a neutralising effect where if you have dry skin it will moisturise and if you have oily skin it will bring the skin to a natural point. Always patch test first.
• Great for using in place of a shave balm and post shave moisturiser with no irritation.
• Coconut oil has a moisturising and hydrating effect when used for manicures and pedicures.
