Coconut oil is a plant-based oil extracted from the flesh or kernel of the coconut, and in addition to its use in food, it is widely used in cosmetics. It is known for its strong antioxidant and antibacterial properties, thanks to its high lauric acid content. Rich in various nutrients, it has beneficial effects on the health and appearance of both skin and hair. Although best known for its moisturising action, coconut oil offers much more than hydration.
