Coconut Oil Ayurvedic Benefits and Uses for the Skin and Hair.

Coconut has been mentioned with high regard in Ayurveda. Coconut Oil comes with a natural SPF of 4-10 which means it shields the skin for about 45 minutes of sun exposure by blocking at least 75% of ultraviolet radiations. It also contains antioxidants that help to protect the skin from harmful radiation from the sun. Coconut oil is a summer skincare product as it works as a cooling agent and gives protection to the skin as well. At Forest Essentials, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil is extracted from the grated white flesh of milky Coconuts to procure the richest extract. The creamy flesh of the coconut is separated through a meticulous series of centrifuges at low temperatures. An old fashioned cold press method is then used to distil the oil into traditional wooden Kohlus, without the application of heat so as to retain the oil’s nutrients and its superior quality.
