Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil

The Coconut tree belongs to the Palm family and is the only species belonging to the Cocos genus. For centuries, the oil produced from coconuts has been a staple ingredient in beauty products that were made and used by communities all around the world. Due to its ability to moisturize and condition the hair, boost its growth, and leave it looking lustrous, Coconut Oil continues to be used cosmetically – typically as a moisturizer, and in soaps – to enhance the look and feel of hair and skin. There are different ways through which the coconut is processed and the quality of the oil differs accordingly. At Nrich Botanicals, we offer two variants of coconut oil - Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil & Organic Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil.
