What’s the best coconut oil for the skin?
Both refined and unrefined coconut oils have triglycerides (fatty acids) and would be excellent moisturizers. But because unrefined coconut oil has a higher content of phytonutrients (compounds produced by plants to help protect them from environmental threats, such as antioxidants), it’s the best choice for skin care.
Which coconut oil is original?
Adulterated coconut oil is a little yellow in color while pure one is almost transparent. You can also put some oil in a container and let it still for about 10 minutes. If it looks transparent, this also means the coconut oil you are using is pure.
