Organic coconut oil - a multitasker in a class of its own

Organic cold-pressed coconut oil is one of the simplest yet most versatile multi-taskers you'll come across. Whether for skin care, hair care, DIY recipes and emergencies or even for cooking, coconut oil can do it all! We explain what's behind the trend and how you can really use coconut oil to best effect.

 Coconut oil is pressed from the young flesh of the coconut without heating it first. Coconut oil is antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial and contains valuable antioxidants. Around 50% of the fatty acids in coconut oil consist of lauric acid, which is why the oil also has an anti-inflammatory effect.

When buying coconut oil, you should make sure you buy cold-pressed coconut oil as it contains more secondary plant substances that boost collagen production and make the skin more elastic. It is also important that the coconut oil is organic, because only then can you be sure that no toxins from conventional cultivation get onto the skin via the coconut oil and ultimately into the body.

Coconut oil is known for its versatility. It is particularly useful here:

• for the hair: as a serum for the ends, or as a balm for the lengths overnight, as well as an intensive mascara. The molecular structure of coconut oil is fine enough to actually penetrate the hair and repair it from the inside out.
• For skin care as anti-aging care, as a moisturising cream, especially for particularly dry and sensitive skin
• As a make-up remover: massage in, remove with a cotton pad - done! Even recommended by make-up artists, as coconut oil dissolves even particularly long-lasting textures and is gentle on the skin
• For hands, feet and lips: as a moisturiser during the day or overnight. As coconut oil is a light oil, it is ideal for skin that is not too dry
• For gel stings and scars to heal them faster
• As a highlighter without or over make-up
• For shaving - pleasant, efficient - and you are already moisturised afterwards!
• As an eye cream, as it nourishes and regenerates the delicate skin around the eyes without clogging it up
• As a make-up primer - wait a few moments after application, then apply the make-up as usual
• ... and of course also for baking gluten-free and vegan dishes!
