Coconut Oil (76 Degrees) Organic

Coconut Oil (76 Degrees) is a pure unrefined oil for formulating skin and hair care products that hydrate, nourish, and protect. Its compatibility with color and aroma additives enhances its applicability in crafting personalized beauty treatments. Extracted from mature coconut meat through a cold-pressing and solvent extraction process, this oil is notable for its purity and lack of hexane. It transitions from solid to liquid at temperatures above 76°F, making it a favorite for cold and hot process soap making with its lathering qualities.

Beyond soap, the semi-solid Coconut Oil with a 76 Degrees melting point enriches body butters, lotions, and a myriad of handmade cosmetics with its moisturizing and nourishing benefits. Originating from Malaysia, this oil is rich in lauric acid, contributing to its skin-protective and hydrating properties. It also has high levels of natural antioxidants and medium-chain triglycerides which help to protect the skin from environmental stressors.
