Description
Introduction
Coconut oil is a vegetable oil that is extracted from the coconut, and more specifically from the albumen of the fruit. It shines in cooking as well as in cosmetics because of the multiple benefits of coconut oil. The coconut (coco nucifera) comes from coconut trees belonging to the Palmaceae family. It produces a natural vegetable oil particularly rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (Omega 9). The oil also contains omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health (1). In addition, coconut oil also contains vitamins (including the antioxidant vitamin E), phytosterols andautres beneficial active ingredients.
It is common to use coconut oil to rebalance one's diet and enrich it with healthy products (2). Easy to digest, it increases our intake of good lipids and is ideal for a ketogenic diet, although it is suitable for all diets. It is also a precious beauty ally, to take advantage of its virtues on the skin and hair.
