It has been used to treat various skin ailments such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. It is often used as a base oil in body care products such as lotions, creams and body butters. Because the skin easily absorbs Coconut Oil, it is a great choice as massage oil. A massage with Coconut Oil can also help to soothe and relax tight muscles in the body.

Coconut Oil can penetrate inside the hair shaft better than other oils because of its fatty acid structure and low molecular weight. Regular use of Coconut Oil on the hair not only nourishes your dry strands but also strengthens and protects, thus reducing protein loss and damage due to styling and coloring.
