The nature surrounding us is very unpredictable, many phenomena are very difficult to logically explain and understand. The case with coconut is just from this series. Surprisingly, the composition of such a sweet fruit includes just an incredible amount of acids that are important for humans.

• Coconut oil is 50% lauric acid. When used in food, this component can greatly facilitate recovery during a cold or simply increase the immunity of a healthy person. When used in cosmetics, it has an antibacterial and healing effect: it quickly heals microcracks, removes early wrinkles and age spots. In addition, it makes the skin resistant to any weather conditions.
• Second is oleic acid.. It contains about 10% of coconut oil. When eaten, this component is not accumulated by the body, but is completely burned, in addition, it increases the metabolic rate, which helps with weight loss. In cosmetology, oleic acid helps in the fight against subcutaneous fat, as well as to maintain the normal water balance of the skin.
• Another 10% is occupied by palmitic acid. This substance is necessary for the restoration and maintenance of the intercellular substance.
• The same amount in the composition of coconut oil and myristic acid. It fights excess proteins in the human body.
• About 8% is caprylic acid, which is necessary to maintain youthful skin. It perfectly maintains the normal pH level of the skin, saturates the skin with oxygen - this contributes to the normalization of intracellular metabolism.
• A substance with a very similar name - capric acid contained in coconut oil in a relatively small amount, only 5%, but this is enough to have a significant antifungal effect.
• Content stearic acid is only 3%. It is necessary to restore the protective functions of the epidermis.

In addition to acids, coconut oil contains several vitamins that are very important for the body: B1, B3, B6, B9, C and PP. These vitamins help in the fight against problems such as skin inflammation, acne, pale or yellow skin, minor wounds, acne and boils.

The choice of cosmetics for the face is a difficult and responsible task, since all products must ideally suit the type of skin and its general condition. The most important task in this situation is not only not to harm, but also to benefit the fragile and exposed to a huge number of negative impacts on the skin. There are some important tips that will help you avoid fakes and low-quality goods.

1. You should always carefully study the packaging of a cosmetic product. The shelf life of coconut oil is only 1 year, so a product based on it cannot last longer. In addition, do not rely on the honesty of stores, it is often unjustified.
2. The composition of the product is also important: do not use cosmetics with dyes, fragrances, silicones or components that cause acute allergic reactions.
3. Quality natural coconut oil is colorless or has a slightly yellowish tint. If the product is too dark or cloudy in appearance, the coconut oil in it is not refined enough. In order not to buy a "pig in a poke", it is better to choose funds in a transparent bottle or in stores where there are samplers.
4. The smell of products is important. If the cream, which does not contain flavors, smells like coconut, this indicates its high quality. The composition of such a product includes unrefined oil, such a product should be stored in a cool place. If the cosmetic does not smell or has extraneous aromas, this indicates that it contains refined oil. The shelf life of such a product is higher, but the benefits are much less.
5. An important factor in the production of cosmetic coconut oil is the pressing method. Very good when it is indicated on the package. So, cold-pressed oil contains much more vitamins and acids.
6. For making homemade cosmetics, you can choose pure coconut oil. In this case, you need to remember that it is solid, more like creamy than sunflower. Beware of fakes!
7. Coconut essential oil is a good option for homemade soap lovers. This oil is easy to use, non-staining and has a pleasant aroma, but it does not provide all the benefits of real coconut oil.
