  • For hair – It is nourishing for some hair types due to its unique fat composition. It can be used as a hair mask, hot oil treatment or in homemade hair products.
  • For skin– This is one of the ingredients in my home-made oil mix for my skin. I have been using it for over a year and it has made my skin smoother, softer and supple. I also use it to help with thigh friction on the days I don’t want to wear tights. It can help wounds and infections heal faster when used topically
  • It’s a great source of healthy fats – Over 50% of the fat in coconut oil is lauric acid. This makes it the richest oil in lauric acid after breast milk.
  • Cooking: Use coconut oil to fry eggs and you will never reach for any other oil again. It has a high smoke point and doesn’t go rancid easily. That it’s healthy doesn’t mean you should use a heavy hand while cooking with it..
  • Digestive Help – It can help fight irritation and infection from Candida and it is helpful for digestion.
  • Mental Boost – Studies show MCTs may contribute to focus and mental performance.
  • Hormone Support – Getting the wrong kinds of fats can create havoc on hormones. Coconut oil contains specific fats that support the body’s natural hormone production.
  • Immune Support – The MCTs (including lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid) have antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties that make it beneficial for immune support
