REFINED COCONUT OIL

A Simple Oil With a Practical Job

At RAH/CEL, every ingredient has to earn its place. Here is why refined coconut oil made the cut.

What Is It?

Refined coconut oil is coconut-derived oil that has been processed to reduce its characteristic coconut aroma. That makes it useful when we want a product's chosen scent, rather than coconut, to lead.

Why We Chose It

It contributes richness and conditioning feel to handcrafted soap and lends a smooth, easy-spreading texture to oil-based body-care formulas.

Good to Know

Oil-rich products can make wet surfaces slippery. Always follow the directions on the individual product.

Fun Fact

The fruit behind coconut oil isn't botanically a true nut. The word 'coconut' is linked to old Portuguese and Spanish 'coco'—a face or skull—because its three shell marks look like a little face.
