An excellent source of lauric acid, coconut oil helps the body fight off harmful bacteria and viruses that cause disease and infections. It can be used in cooking, eaten by itself or applied topically.

Skin Care

• Organic coconut oil moisturizes dry, flaking skin and helps to treat skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. The anti-aging qualities of coconut oil help prevent wrinkles, creases and sagging.

Immunity

• Regular consumption of organic coconut oil helps the body fight off harmful bacteria and viruses by improving the immune system.

Weight Loss
