Interesting Fact

Coconut oil has an ancient history as a “beauty secret“—Polynesian warriors would apply it to their hair and skin for strength and protection. Today, it’s celebrated as a multitasking marvel: from oil pulling for oral health to acting as a natural shaving balm. Plus, its high smoke point makes it a healthier choice for cooking!

Coconut

Origin

The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) is believed to have originated in the Indo-Pacific region, with its use dating back over 4,000 years in Ayurveda and traditional island medicine. Thriving in tropical climates like the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and the Caribbean, coconuts were so valued that they were often called the “tree of life.” Cold-pressed coconut oil retains the purest nutrients, a method Simply Bee embraces for quality.

Whether you’re using it to soothe dry skin, condition unruly hair, or craft homemade remedies, coconut oil is a must-have in any natural wellness toolkit.

Extracted from the mature kernel of coconuts, coconut oil is a powerhouse of hydration and natural goodness. Packed with medium-chain fatty acids like lauric acid, it deeply nourishes skin and hair while offering antibacterial and antifungal benefits. Its lightweight texture makes it a versatile favourite—whether used as a moisturiser, hair mask, or even a natural cuticle oil.

Unlike many plant-based oils, coconut oil is solid at cooler temperatures but melts upon contact with warm skin, making it ideal for balms, lotions, and DIY beauty recipes. It’s also rich in antioxidants, helping to protect the skin from environmental stressors while locking in moisture.
