Coconut oil – smoothing & protecting for dry, cracked skin
Virgin organic coconut oil has a moisturizing effect, forms a protective film and ensures supple skin – ideal for dry and rough skin.
Introduction / Brief description
Coconut oil (INCI: Cocos Nucifera Oil ) is a moisturizing, oxidatively stable vegetable oil extracted from the flesh of the coconut. Upon contact with the skin, it forms a protective film, smoothes dry patches, and gives the skin a velvety feel. Coconut oil is particularly effective in body care due to its skin-conditioning and moisture-retaining properties.
Origin & Production
The coconut oil used by myrto is certified organic and gently cold-pressed . It is a virgin coconut oil obtained without chemical refining, deodorization, or bleaching. It thus fully retains its typical, delicately nutty, coconut-like scent and its skin-care properties.
