Coconut Oil Refined is a 100% naturally refined vegetable fat that is solid at room temperature but melts quickly on the skin. Thanks to the refining process, it is fragrance-free, bright and versatile, ideal for both cosmetics and soap making.
Coconut oil contains vitamin E and antioxidants that help protect, soften and support the youthful appearance of the skin. In addition, it has soothing and antibacterial properties to help soothe skin irritations caused by microbes.
