What Makes Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil So Special?

One Jar, Endless Uses

Coconut oil has become one of the most popular natural products in the world, and for good reason. From skincare and haircare to oral care and massage, this remarkably versatile ingredient has been used for generations.

But not all coconut oils are created equal.

The quality of the coconut oil you choose can make a significant difference to its scent, texture and how enjoyable it is to use.

What Is Extra Virgin Coconut Oil?

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is made from fresh coconut flesh rather than dried coconut. The oil is extracted using gentle methods and left unrefined, helping to preserve its natural aroma and character.

Our Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is:

✓ Certified 100% Organic

✓ COSMOS Soil Association Certified

✓ Cold Pressed

✓ Unrefined

✓ Vegan & Cruelty Free

✓ Never harvested using monkeys

Because it is unrefined, it retains the wonderful natural scent of fresh coconuts that many people love.

Why Doesn't It Smell Like Supermarket Coconut Oil?

Many coconut oils are refined, bleached, deodorised or heavily processed.

These processes can remove much of the coconut aroma and alter the character of the oil.

Our Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is different.

By remaining cold pressed and unrefined, it retains its naturally rich coconut fragrance and creamy texture, making it a pleasure to use on the skin and hair.

One Jar, Many Uses

One of the things we love most about coconut oil is its versatility.

Rather than buying multiple products for different purposes, a single jar can often replace several items in your bathroom cupboard.

Many of our customers use Organic Coconut Oil as a natural alternative to:

• • Moisturiser

  • Makeup remover

  • Facial cleanser

  • Lip balm

  • Hair conditioner

  • Deep conditioning hair treatment

  • Shaving cream

  • Massage oil

  • Cuticle balm

  • Oil pulling mouth rinse

  • Nappy area moisturiser

One simple ingredient. Countless uses.

A Simpler Approach to Bodycare

Most of us use dozens of personal care products every day.

Moisturisers, cleansers, makeup removers, conditioners, lip balms, shaving products and more.

Each product often contains its own list of ingredients, fragrances, preservatives and additives.

This has led some people to become interested in the concept of chemical loading, the cumulative exposure to ingredients from the many products we use throughout our daily lives.

While every product serves a purpose, many people are choosing to simplify their routines by selecting fewer, more versatile products wherever possible.

Coconut oil is a great example.

Instead of needing separate products for multiple tasks, one jar can perform many different roles.

Fewer products.

Fewer ingredients.

Less packaging.

Less clutter.

Great Value for Money

When viewed purely as a moisturiser, a jar of coconut oil may seem relatively ordinary.

But when you consider how many products it can replace, its value becomes much clearer.

One jar can be used across skincare, haircare and oral care routines, making it one of the most economical products in a natural bathroom cupboard.

Many customers buy it for one purpose and quickly discover half a dozen more.

Why We Chose Organic

At The Green Woman, we believe that what goes onto our bodies matters.

That's why we choose certified organic ingredients wherever possible.

Organic certification provides reassurance that ingredients have been produced to recognized standards and without the routine use of many synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.

For us, choosing certified organic coconut oil was an easy decision.

It's a simple ingredient, prepared with minimal processing, just as nature intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why has my coconut oil gone hard?

Coconut oil naturally solidifies at cooler temperatures. This is completely normal and does not affect quality.

Why has my coconut oil melted?

Coconut oil melts at around 24°C. During warmer weather it may become liquid. Simply allow it to cool if you prefer a firmer texture.

Can I use coconut oil on my face?

Many people enjoy using coconut oil as a moisturiser or cleanser. As with any skincare product, individual skin types vary, so we recommend patch testing first.

What is oil pulling?

Oil pulling involves swishing oil around the mouth before brushing your teeth. Many people include it as part of their oral care routine.
