coconut oil (cold-pressed) / தேங்காய் எண்ணெய் (மரச்செக்கு)

Cold-pressed coconut oil is extracted without high heat, preserving essential nutrients like Vitamin E and Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs). It deeply nourishes hair and skin, boosts immunity through lauric acid, and promotes metabolism. It is a highly versatile superfood for cooking, oil pulling, and beauty routines.

Culinary Uses: Due to its medium-to-high smoke point, it is an excellent, heat-stable option for sautéing, stir-frying, and tempering dishes (especially in South Indian cuisine.

Skin Care: Deep moisturizer with high vitamin E that locks in moisture, ideal for dry skin. Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties soothe eczema, scratches, and sunburns. It also acts as a gentle makeup remover, hydrating the face while breaking down makeup.

Hair Care: Deep conditioning treatments penetrate the hair shaft, reducing protein loss, frizz, and split ends. Additionally, massaging warm oil into the scalp alleviates dryness, combats peeling, and nourishes hair follicles.

Oral Hygiene & Holistic Wellness: Oil pulling, an ancient Ayurvedic practice, uses a tablespoon of oil swirled in the mouth for 10–15 minutes to eliminate harmful bacteria and improve oral health.
