    What is coconut oil and why is it so popular?
    Coconut oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the pulp of the coconut (Cocos nucifera). Appreciated for its creamy texture, exotic fragrance and multiple benefits, it is used in both cosmetics and cooking. Rich in saturated fatty acids, notably lauric acid, it has nourishing, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Whether for moisturizing the skin, strengthening the hair or supporting the immune system, it's an indispensable ally in natural routines.
