Coconut oil
Moisturising, softening, and sublimating!
Its exceptional fragrance transports us to sun-drenched islands. A mythical beauty ritual from the tropics, coconut oil is naturally rich in saturated fatty acids. It has extraordinary emollient properties. It deeply nourishes even the driest hair and gently softens damaged skin. Extremely rich in lauric acid, its powers are innumerable: it reduces cellulite and diminishes wrinkles and age spots. Its high composition in purifying fatty acids makes it an excellent skin and hair protector.
The botanical minute
The coconut palm belongs to the palm family, with a sharp stipe (false trunk). An adult coconut palm tree can bear between 50 and 500 nuts over a period of fifteen years. Coconuts can measure up to 30cm in diametre, and are smooth, ranging in colour from green to orange. When ripe, it is covered with a thick layer of brown woody fibres. The solid, more or less spherical shell protects a whitish, edible kernel. The coconut palm is monoecious, producing inflorescences with both female and male flowers. It can therefore fertilize itself. Most dwarf coconut palms reproduce in this way. Coconuts belong to the palm family, and the tallest can exceed 20m in height.
