TLDR 2EVCO, enhanced with aloe vera and pandan leaves, promotes faster hair growth and improves skin health.
The study focused on the development of Enriched and Enhanced Virgin Coconut Oil (2EVCO), which was enhanced with aloe vera and pandan leaves to address skin problems and promote hair growth using natural sources. The product was tested on teachers and students, including a cancer patient who experienced accelerated hair growth, with hair growing 4 to 5 inches in 4 months, compared to the typical 6 months post-chemotherapy. The production involved sedimentation, fermentation, and filtration, and the nutritional content was verified by an accredited lab. The study found that the fatty acids in 2EVCO, such as lauric acid, myristic acid, and palmitic acid, supported hair and skin cell growth, while aloe vera's components improved skin conditions.
