The natural world is bursting with beautifying botanicals, something our pioneering founder, Jheri Redding, was an expert on. It’s that awareness that led him to create products infused with some of nature’s most potent plants. One of those natural wonders also happens to be the buzziest ingredient in the beauty game right now. We’re talking, of course, about coconut oil.

Chances are you’ve heard about this tropical fruit, known to be highly nourishing. That’s because it truly is a multi-tasking wonder — it can be used to help improve the look and feel of your hair, skin, and nails. To help you better understand exactly what makes this ingredient so special we’ve put together your ultimate primer on all things coconut oil. Keep reading to get the scoop!

What is Coconut Oil?

Derived from the meat (the fleshy white part found underneath the shell), coconut oil is a viscous substance that is made by forcibly pressing shredded flakes together to extract it.

What Does it Do?

Coconut oil is naturally loaded with fatty acids, specifically a triglyceride called lauric acid. This healthy fat is known to help prevent protein loss in hair strands, making coconut oil excellent for moisturizing, nourishing, and repairing damaged, dry hair. It also absorbs easily, so it can work its magic from the inside out. “Lightweight coconut oil is versatile,” explains Kevin Mancuso, Global Creative Director for Nexxus. “It penetrates into the hair for deep moisturization without weighing hair down and works across all types and textures.” It’s that mixture of moisture and protein, he says, that not only helps to protect hair, but also helps restore strength, flexibility, and shine.
