Coconut oil comes from the fruit or seed of the coconut palm tree Cocos nucifera, family
areca.The melting point of coconut oil is 24 to 25 ºC (75-76 ºF) and thus it can be used
easily in both liquid or solid forms and is often used in cooking and baking. Coconut oil is
excellent as a skin moisturizer and softener. A study shows that extra virgin coconut oil is
effective and safe when used as a moisturizer, with absence of adverse reactions. [3] A study
found that coconut oil helped prevent protein loss from the wet combing of hair when used for
fourteen hours
