Organic cold-pressed Coconut Oil from Akamuti

Organic Virgin Coconut Oil

This wonderful coconut oil has such a lovely scent of 100% natural and cold-pressed oil with a pure white color and natural coconut aroma (not deodorized or fractionated). It is a fairly traded organic coconut oil from a family farm in the Pacific Ocean. Wonderful as a body lotion, massage oil, or for hair care.

Body usage: Use coconut oil as a moisturizer, as the skin easily absorbs coconut oil. It helps reduce dry skin and aids in removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, making the skin smoother. At the same time, the coconut oil strengthens the skin.

Coconut oil is like coconut "butter" at room temperature (softer than shea butter) and melts quickly into the skin. If you keep it in a warm place (for example, on a sunny windowsill), it will melt and become a light oil, then solidify again when it gets cooler.

Organic coconut oil is wonderful to use as a conditioner as it softens both hair and scalp. Feel free to use coconut oil as a hair mask before washing to combat dandruff.

Coconut oil is famous for its ability to strengthen the structure of damaged hair. It makes hair shiny and soft while providing nourishment through minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium and iron.

Hair application: The best way to use coconut oil is to gently massage the oil into the scalp and leave it there for up to 15 minutes before shampooing. (You can leave the oil on for as long as you want, but it becomes significantly harder to wash out when it cools down!)

You can also apply some oil to your hair ends for more shine or to prevent split ends.

This organic coconut oil comes from family farms where individual families work together to collect and process small amounts of coconuts on a daily basis in Indonesian island communities across the Pacific Ocean.

This special small-scale system ensures that the oil is of the highest quality. The processing is also very sustainable - with zero waste. Every part of the coconut is used in some form.

Coconut production plays a central role in the life of coastal communities, many of which are now endangered. By purchasing this fair trade coconut oil, we support the livelihood of island communities, helping preserve their languages, cultures, and beautiful forests. It provides them with sustainable employment, a better standard of living, and long-term protection for sensitive ecosystems.

Here are 15 tips on how to use coconut oil for your body:

• Moisturizer - you can simply apply it all over your body. Coconut oil is great for damaged skin and nourishes all dry areas while relieving eczema.

• Eye cream - apply a little under the eyes to reduce swelling, bags, and wrinkles.

• Aftershave - coconut oil helps heal your skin after shaving without clogging pores.

• Dry scalp treatment - take a tablespoon of coconut oil and work it into your dry scalp. Leave for about 15 minutes.

• "Hair gel" - rub a little between your palms and work it into your hair (for short and curly hair).

• Toothpaste - Mix coconut oil and baking soda and apply a small amount to your toothbrush.

• Mouthwash - Keep some coconut oil in your mouth for about 5 minutes while swishing it around.

• Makeup remover - take a dab of coconut oil and a cotton pad and remove.

• Lip balm - simply rub a little on your lips.

• Massage oil - take a little and massage wherever you want.

• Lubricant - a completely natural and safe lubricant.

• Stretch mark cream - massage into desired areas.

• Body scrub - mix coconut oil and organic raw cane sugar and rub around! Rinse off and your skin becomes super soft! You can also add other organic oils (e.g., avocado), an essential oil and honey if you want more ingredients and more fragrance.

• For scrapes and cuts. Coconut oil forms a thin layer that protects the wound from external dust and bacteria. Coconut oil also speeds up the healing process of bruises by repairing damaged tissues.
