Dry Skin Treatment
Coconut oil
Coconut oil comes from the fruit or seed of the coconut palm tree Cocos nucifera, family
Arecaceae.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. [4]
