Sweet-smelling coconut oil is a beauty superstar, both in its pure form and as a cosmetic ingredient. The oil extracted from the coconut fruit’s kernel has been used in cooking, healing and skin care for centuries, and is more popular than ever today. Intensely moisturising and protective, coconut oil epitomises multi-tasking beauty and is a fantastic hair conditioner and skin softener. And for those of us who live in colder climes like Sweden, coconut oil is an indispensable skin-saver in wintertime.
