If you've been wondering what all the buzz around coconut oil is all about, here's the GHI lowdown:
Coconut oil is well known for its many beauty and nutritional benefits. It’s an ingredient that perhaps is so common that we take it for granted. According to Vita Coco – the makers of an organic 100% raw, extra virgin and cold pressed coconut oil – when incorporated into our diet, coconut oil can help provide a source of sustainable energy throughout the day. Add it to porridges and smoothies, to salads, soups and more.
From a beauty perspective, the oil is naturally rich in glycerides and melts at skin temperature, making it great for softening and soothing dry skin as well smoothing the hair and scalp, adding shine and protecting from dryness. Keep a small pot of the oil in your handbag to keep lips soft through this winter, or massage into cuticles and nails to soften and condition. In short, coconut oil is a hard-working, multi-tasker – a bit like us!
Vita Coco Coconut Oil comes in 3 sizes: 250ml for £5.99, 500ml for £9.99 and 750ml for £14.50. It is available from Tesco, ASDA and Amazon
