Origin of the Coconut
Improving People's lives everyday - naturally!
An ancient tale in the coastal islands of southern Asia tells the story of a young girl
so strikingly beautiful, she was sought after and admired by her entire tribe. One
day, she became seriously ill. The entire tribe searched near and far for a cure to no
avail. While lying on her deathbed, she had a dream. In her dream, she saw the
image of a mysterious tree. A voice in her dream told her that drinking the juice of
its young, green fruit would save her life. The next morning, the whole tribe was
astonished to find that a tree sprung from the ground, tall and proud, with leaves
rustling in the wind. It’s fresh, green fruit fell to the ground. They immediately gave
this to the girl who drank the juice and regained her health instantaneously. This
“fruit from the tree of life” – is what we now know to be the coconut.
In reality, the coconut has saved many lives – around the world, in different parts
across the sea. As early as 1500 BC, the coconut was seen as a miraculous fruit –
so respected that it was documented in Ayuverdic medicine in Sanskrit, to have many
uses for the mind, the body and the spirit.
The use of the coconut for one’s physical health has expanded – to include
enhancing one’s natural beauty. Early European explorers including Captain Cook
wrote affectionately about the beauty of communities across the Pacific using coconut
oil as an integral part of their daily lives.
Research scientists focusing on wellness and health care have taken these learnings
from the history of the coconut and have transformed them into specialized products
that help enhance and beautify the body wholistically and naturally. Pure, 100%
virgin coconut oil is commonly accepted as the best base or carrier oil for other
natural ingredients and fragrances. It has also been proven to keep skin naturally
soft, smooth and beautiful better than petrochemical based oils or synthetic
ingredients commonly used in a lot of commercially available cosmetics. Today it is
the main ingredient in a premium, specialized personal care line for the hair, the skin,
and the entire body. This is Coconut of the Body.
Why Coconut of the Body is better for you
Because it is rooted in the ancient traditions and healing power of the coconut, but
combined with the most technically advanced and hygienic process in coconut oil
extraction and manufacturing. Our virgin coconut oil is certified organic according to
the strictest European and US organic standards. Unlike other companies which use
multiple, independent third party suppliers and distributors to sell their products, we
are in full control of the entire quality system, from the coconut farm, to extraction,
to production and distribution. This ensures that the highest quality standards are
met.
Coconut of the Body makes use of the purest and freshest young coconuts
harvested exclusively from the southernmost island in the Philippines. The coconut
trees grow wild in the healthy, fertile soil along the coasts of the Moro Gulf and are
selectively handpicked by the indigenous townspeople called Tiruray. Without a
moment to spare, they are brought directly into the Coconut Processing Plant, where
the oil is freshly extracted.
Coconut of the Body uses the most advanced extraction process in the country,
making use of a Centrifuge technology. Most VCO products in the market are
produced via fermentation or sometimes “cold process.” This creates a somewhat
and fermented taste and smell to the oil. Others utilize a dry milling or expeller
pressed process wherein oil is expelled after drying the coconut meat. This gives a
somewhat burned nutty taste, which needs to be masked by adding artificial scents
and flavoring. The centrifugal method of extraction immediately separates the oil and
the water components, which produces the extra virgin coconut oil with the freshest
taste and the lightest aroma possible. This pure, unadulterated coconut oil is the
heart and soul of the whole Coconut of the Body personal care line.
The Coconut of the Body line contains a uniquely developed range of pure coconut oil-
based skin, hair and body care products specially developed to nourish, soften, and
enhance your skin unlike any other product you’ve ever tried. It’s a naturally
moisturizing experience you’ve never had before!
