Coconut oil is literally taking the world by storm. There are so many health benefits associated with the use of coconut oil, it is little wonder why it has become so popular.
I used coconut oils to massage my two older children’s skin when they were babies and found it to work wonders on dry, flaky newborn skin. When my daughter, Summer was born last year I knew that coconut oil was an essential to have at home, but I hadn’t really found a particular brand that I wanted to buy again. There are a lot of coconut oils on the market and almost all claim to be pure, organic and chemical free yet there is a big difference between the actual products. I have found some to be sticky, gritty, overly greasy and some have a particularly sickly smell.
Anyway, I have discovered Kokoso and can honestly say this coconut oil is perfect! It is so much lighter and silkier than any of the other oils I have tried. Kokoso is incredibly fine and soft with a very delicate, sweet, coconutty scent. And because it is so light it sinks in to Summer’s skin beautifully quickly, it just melts away, moisturizing the skin and leaving her feeling super soft!
“Coconut oil is the purest, gentlest, kindest way of caring for your baby's skin. In the tropics this natural wonder oil has been used to nourish and moisturise skin for generations. Raw virgin coconut oil contains a unique combination of medium-chain fatty acids called lauric acid – a magical healing agent also found in breast milk – as well as caprylic acid and capric acid. These special fatty acids are made up of teeny, easily absorbable molecules perfect for sinking deep into your baby’s skin to comfort, hydrate and leave them feeling gorgeously baby-soft. Just as Mother Nature intended. “
So what makes Kokoso so special?
Every pot of Kokoso coconut oil is packed full of the magical goodness of around three whole organic coconuts! The specially sourced organic coconuts are fresh-pressed and cleaned using only purified water. This unique method allows the coconuts to be processed within just three hours of being picked which eradicates the need for any chemicals to be used for cleaning. Kokoso truly is 100% organic, natural, virgin coconut oil!
If you’re yet to try Kokoso but think the brand sounds familiar then you may remember seeing Lauren on The Dragon’s Den!
As well as the original Kokoso Baby Coconut Oil, Kokoso also stock the most delicious range of baby coconut products such as the Kokoso Hair & Body Wash, Natural Konjac Baby Bath Sponge, Happy Scalp Cream and a couple of really gorgeous gift sets.
Summer was thirteen days overdue and as a result, her skin was very dry and flaky. I quickly established a routine of massaging her dry skin before bedtime with this lovely, light coconut oil. Not only did it quickly clear up her dry skin but the combination of the bath and the massage left her wonderfully relaxed before bedtime.
There are so many benefits associated with coconut oil and it is such a versatile product. This is one of my absolute favourite products for newborns and I am delighted to be giving away some lovely samples in my new client goody bags. This means that you can try the miracle oil yourself and I’m sure you and your baby will be hooked on its coconutty deliciousness!
