Get ready to go nuts for coconuts! We all know that coconuts deserve the title “superfood.” The tropical fruit is packed with nutrients, and all its elements are usable for our consumption, from food, skincare, and hair care to household equipment.
While coconut oil is a healthier option for frying, its fatty acids are excellent for moisturizing and nourishing your skin. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated skin and calm it down. It can also be a great makeup remover, total hydration toner, and au naturale hair mask.
Also, when using these Indonesian-based skincare brands whose main ingredient is coconut, you are helping the local communities participate in a fair economy and environmental sustainability. Many of those brands use organic and locally grown coconut in their recipes, which they acquire at fair prices from local farmers. Every component of coconut is usable and easily decomposable, so no more non-recyclable waste.
Check out four of our favorite brands that will soon be yours, too!
