NOW Foods Coconut Oil 7 oz — Deodorized Skin & Hair Moisturizer, Vegan Mechanical Extract

This single-ingredient oil (Cocos Nucifera Oil) is produced in the USA from globally sourced coconuts and deodorized for a neutral scent. Extracted mechanically without solvents and subjected to NOW®'s quality testing, it offers a straightforward, plant-derived option for daily moisturizing, scalp care, or as a smoothing finish for hair. The formula is vegan and made under GMP standards to help ensure consistent purity and potency.

How can this coconut oil improve my skin care routine?

The oil provides a rich layer of emollients that helps reduce moisture loss and leaves skin feeling soft and silky. Because it contains saturated fats naturally found in coconuts, it spreads easily and absorbs to create a protective, conditioning film on the skin surface without complex additives.

• Use as an all-over body moisturizer after bathing to lock in hydration.
• Apply a small amount to dry patches like elbows and knees for instant smoothing.
• Works as a gentle makeup remover for face and eye makeup.

Will it help with hair and scalp conditioning?

NOW Foods Coconut Oil can be used as a pre-shampoo treatment or a lightweight leave-in to tame frizz and add shine. When massaged into the scalp, it conditions the skin and helps hair feel softer and more manageable without relying on synthetic silicones.

• Apply as a 15–30 minute mask before shampooing to soften strands and ease detangling.
• Smooth a tiny amount onto mid-lengths and ends to reduce flyaways and boost luster.
• Gently massage into the scalp to condition and help improve combability.

How is this coconut oil processed and what does that mean for quality?

NOW uses mechanical extraction of the coconut fruit followed by deodorization to yield a neutral-smelling oil without solvent residues. The product is manufactured in the USA using globally sourced ingredients and undergoes analytical testing and GMP review to uphold consistent standards.

• No solvents are used during extraction — mechanical methods preserve the oil's integrity.
• Deodorized for a mild aroma that won't compete with fragrances or blends.
• NOW® Solutions items are lab-tested for stability, potency and purity.

How should I store and apply it for best results?

Keep the jar capped and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct heat to maintain texture and performance. Because coconut oil solidifies below about 76°F (24°C), warm the jar in your hands or use a spoon to scoop and rub between palms to liquefy before applying.

• Warm a small amount between fingers for smooth, even application.
• A little goes a long way — start with a pea-sized amount for face or hair ends.
• Store at room temperature; refrigeration will harden the oil but not harm it.

Who is this for: NOW Foods Coconut Oil is suited for people seeking a single-ingredient, plant-based moisturizer and hair conditioner without fragrances or chemical additives. It's a practical choice for vegans, those preferring minimally processed personal care ingredients, and anyone looking for a multi-use oil for body, scalp, and hair maintenance under verified GMP manufacturing standards.
