Sodium Cocoate* (Coconut Oil)

POPULAR NAME: Coconut Oil

INCI NAME: Cocos Nucifer | Sodium Cocoate*

* Saponified form or turning of the oil into soap by reaction with an alkali

Coconut Oil contains fatty acids, which works as a reinforcing barrier on the skin, sealing in moisture for intense, long-lasting hydration. Coconut oil also contains high quantities of lauric acid, used to treat viral, fungal and skin conditions (warts, athletes foot or acne).

It provides antioxidants, moisturizes and minimizes the signs of ageing, boosts nutrients and helps protect the skin.

Coconut oil minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, protects skin against environmental stressors, and can soothe irritated skin.

The type of coconut oil also depends on the extraction technique. When producers obtain the oil without heat, they refer to it as cold-pressed or virgin coconut oil. This type is richer in nutrients. We use this type for our Shea Lavender and Hair oil.

Most of our products use coconut oil which is ethically sourced.


Les acides gras contenus dans l’huile de noix de coco agissent comme une barrière de renforcement sur la peau, scellant l’hydratation pour une hydratation intense et durable. Il contient également de grandes quantités d’acide laurique, qui peut être utilisé pour traiter les affections cutanées virales, fongiques et bactériennes comme les verrues, le pied d’athlète ou l’acné.

Il fournit des antioxydants, hydrate, minimise les signes du vieillissement, stimule les nutriments et aide à protéger la peau.

L’huile de coco hydrate la peau, minimise l’apparence des ridules et des rides, protège la peau des facteurs de stress environnementaux et peut apaiser la peau irritée.

Le type d’huile de noix de coco dépend également de la technique d’extraction. Lorsque les producteurs obtiennent l’huile sans utiliser de chaleur, ils l’appellent huile de noix de coco vierge ou pressée à froid. Ce type est plus riche en nutriments. C’est pourquoi nous utilisons ce type pour nos cheveux et l’huile de lavande de karité

La plupart de nos produits utilisent de l’huile de noix de coco d’origine éthique.
