Undoubtedly, coconut oil enjoys its revival. From the moment it was discovered that lauric acid, which coconut oil contains, facilitates losing weight, accelerates metabolic rate, works antibacterial and makes it possible to detoxify body cells naturally – this organic oil has become women’s favourite. It’s worth introducing it not only to diet but also to hair and body care in the broad sense. What are the beautifying qualities coconut oil contains?
Coconut Oil – multi-purpose beauty booster
Coconut oil in its non-refined version has so mind-bogglingly rich composition that it outclasses most of the ready-made care products available in drugstores.
Apart from essential fatty acids, coconut oil contains an array of minerals (potassium, zinc, magnesium, iron, phosphor and calcium) as well as huge amounts of vitamins C, E and K. In other words, it has everything what hair and skin crave for. This makes it a multi-purpose product which is just perfect for being packed into a suitcase when getting ready for gateway; it replaces a few cosmetics. Minimalism lovers adore this multi-porousness and frequently use coconut oil instead of body balm, hair mask, face cream and under eye serum. Moreover, coconut oil can do much more than we think it is capable of. Hence, it’s worth describing coconut oil’s wide spectrum of application.
