What are the attributes of VCO?
Virgin Coconut Oil is one of the most stable oils and is highly resistant to rancidity. It is stable because of its high proportion of saturated fats. (It is the unsaturated fats in the common seed oils that are easily oxidized and susceptible to rancidity.) VCOl is mild on the skin and is widely used in the tropics to protect both skin and hair from the harsh effect of the sun. Film forming qualities allow it to act as a skin moisturizer and protect against moisture loss. Its natural detergency and lathering capabilities give a double purpose as a cleansing agent for soaps and shampoos. • Why is it called Virgin? VCO is labeled as Virgin because it is not subjected to extreme heat, no substances/ solvents are added in the extraction of the oil. If other substances are added into VCO it can no longer be called Virgin but mere coconut oil.
