Crede Organic Virgin Coconut Oil (500ml)

Description: Crede Organic Virgin Coconut Oil has been mechanically pressed from coconuts, and is not refined, bleached or deodourised. It's a highly dynamic 100% unrefined and organic oil that can be used as a skin care treatment or as a cooking oil – and of course, due to its amazing effectiveness in both fields we recommend that you do use it on both your skin and to cook with.

As a Skin Treatment

Virgin Coconut Oil has for centuries been used as a remedy by traditional healers to nurture the body, mind and spirit. It is ideal as an all over body moisturiser and skin conditioner especially for sensitive skins. It may be helpful in topical relief for skin disorders such as eczema and psoriasis and after sun relief, through its cooling and soothing properties.

The oil can be slightly warmed to ensure that it is very liquid. You then massage 2 to 4 teaspoons (depending on the volume of hair) into the hair and leave it in the hair for 1 to 2 hours. Alternatively you can leave it on overnight (you will need to cover your pillow with a towel). After that you will wash your hair with your favourite natural shampoo. This can be repeated 2 x weekly. VCO will also help control dandruff.

As a Cooking Oil

Virgin Coconut Oil contains a unique group of saturated fats known as Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) the same unique set of MCTs that are also found in human breast milk (mothers milk) Traditional knowledge supports Coconut Oil as the richest vegan source of Lauric Acid, found only in Mother’s Milk and Virgin Coconut Oil in concentrations of up to 50%.

Ingredients: Virgin coconut oil is made from the fresh mature kernel of the coconut (cocos nucifera). Virgin coconut oil has a distinctive coconut oil taste and aroma. The oil is solid at room temperature, with a melting point of around 23-26’C. When solid, the oil has a white colour and when liquid, the oil has a water-like clarity.
