Coconut Oil is one of the most important ingredients in soap making and natural cosmetic formulations. It is renowned for producing a rich, abundant and stable lather, while also increasing the hardness and durability of cold process soaps.

Thanks to its exceptional foaming properties, soaps containing a high percentage of Coconut Oil can produce abundant lather even in seawater. For this reason, it is commonly blended with other vegetable oils to improve the hardness and overall performance of the finished soap.

Beyond soap making, Coconut Oil is widely used in skincare and hair care products due to its excellent emollient and moisturising properties, leaving both skin and hair soft, smooth and conditioned.

Properties: Moisturising, emollient and nourishing. Produces excellent lather and increases the hardness of natural soaps while helping condition both skin and hair.

Recommended Uses: Cold process soaps, shampoos and solid shampoo bars, face and body creams, body butters, hair care products, cleansing products and a wide variety of cosmetic formulations.
