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!
