Coconut Carrier Oil
CHOOSING THE RIGHT COCONUT CARRIER OIL FOR YOU
Coconut Carrier Oil, derived from the fruit of the coconut palm, has been a staple in skincare and haircare for centuries. Renowned for its moisturizing and emollient properties, Coconut Oil can easily penetrate the skin due to its small molecular size, similar to Essential Oils. This allows for effective absorption of Essential Oils when combined with Coconut Oil. It provides a protective barrier, locking in moisture to soften, lubricate, and comfort the skin, making it ideal for dry, irritated, and sensitive skin types.
Additionally, Coconut Oil is highly beneficial for dull, dehydrated, and damaged hair. At New Directions Aromatics, we offer a wide selection of Coconut Oils, including Virgin, Extra Virgin, Certified Organic, RDB (Refined, Bleached, and Deodorized), Fractionated, and Fair-Trade varieties, catering to diverse needs in skincare and haircare formulations.
