natural oil extracted from mature coconut meat

Coconut oil, also known as Cocos Nucifera Oil, is a natural oil extracted from the meat of mature coconuts. It is rich in medium-chain fatty acids, particularly lauric acid, which gives it antimicrobial properties. In the context of hair care, coconut oil is often used for its moisturizing and conditioning benefits, helping to reduce protein loss in hair and improve overall hair health.
