Coconut Oil | Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil
Coconut oil (also coconut fat, more rarely coconut butter) is extracted from the flesh of the coconut. Virgin coconut oil, as we use it, is a delicately coconut-scented oil that melts on contact with the skin.

A slightly cooling effect is characteristic of coconut oil, since a lot of heat is absorbed when it melts. In addition, the delicious oil provides you with soft, smooth and well-groomed skin.
