Coconut Essential Oil - Organic - CO2 Extracted (Cocos Nucifera)

Our organic Coconut Essential Oil is made from the pulp of Cocos nucifera, the coconut palm, and comes from Ceylon. The oil is CO2 extracted, and its aroma is rich, creamy, nutty and buttery, just what you would hope for from coconut.

Like virgin coconut oil, Coconut Essential Oil is often used in aromatherapy for skin. It is known to help calm inflammation and to moisturize the skin, which helps it recover more quickly. People use it for dry, irritated skin and to help with eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and dandruff.

It is good for the mood as well. CO2 Coconut is energizing to both mind and body, and its aroma feels steady and uplifting. Its medium-chain triglycerides are said to nourish and support the body during demanding or stressful times. On a long day, try it in a diffuser or in the uplifting blend from the Recipes tab.

For skincare, mix 6 to 12 drops into an ounce of carrier oil, which is a 1 to 2% dilution. In our anti-aging tonic we pair it with Argan Oil, Coffee, Lavender and Geranium, applied to clean, dry skin twice a day. For a lift, try it with Pomegranate Seed Oil, Cedarwood and Frankincense, rubbed onto the chest and the back of the neck.

This extract is mostly lauric acid at 56.7%, followed by myristic acid at 16.9%, caprylic acid at 10.7% and capric acid at 7.4%, with smaller amounts of palmitic, oleic and stearic acids. If you enjoy rich, edible scents, we also carry Coffee, Butter and Vanilla as CO2 extracts.
