Escentia Coconut Oil - Extra Virgin Cold Pressed is an unrefined, cold-pressed virgin coconut oil from raw coconut flesh, used mainly in skincare, haircare, and cosmetic formulations. It is a rich plant oil often chosen for body oils, hair treatments, balms, and moisturising blends where a more nourishing skin feel is wanted. This is a carrier oil, not an essential oil, so it is used as a base or main oil rather than for fragrance alone. Because it is unrefined and naturally temperature-sensitive, it may solidify in cooler conditions.

♡ Why we love it: This is one of those beautifully simple, hardworking oils that fits into all kinds of DIY beauty routines. It brings a rich, comforting feel to skin and hair care, and the cold-pressed, unrefined format makes it especially appealing for makers who prefer minimally processed plant oils.
