I have terribly dry skin and very coarse hair. VCO works wonders on both. When I apply it the night before, I always get "You're looking rested." Compliments. And on my hair? Softens it right up without being heavy. I think - but I don't know - that it would work well on fine hair too. It's certainly the only hair product used by most islanders in Polynesia and the South Pacific and they are famous for their shining tresses that also sway gently with the tropical breezes.
Virgin Coconut Oil is luxurious and rare! And very high in anti-oxidants. Testing done in independent laboratories reveals higher levels of phenolic antioxidants than other coconut oils. Our VCO is handcrafted in Quezon Province, the coconut capital of the Philippines.The fresh coconut meat is shredded (wet milled), and then cold-pressed using the water from inside the coconuts to make coconut milk. The milk is then allowed to sit for about half a day, while the oil naturally separates from the heavier water. The oil is then filtered from the coconut meat. To preserve all the natural minerals no chemical or high-heat treatment is used.
DayBreak sources VCO made by families who are coconut farmers using old-fashioned traditional methods that have been used in the Philippines for hundreds of years. Our coconut trees and family producers are certified organic according to strict USDA standards.

Why is Virgin Coconut Oil soooooooo great for your skin? The answer is ANTIOXIDANTS!
Most mass produced creams and lotions are water and a highly refined vegetable oil devoid of all natural protective antioxidants. Virgin Coconut Oil is loaded with anti-aging antioxidants that stop wrinkle-making free radicals in their tracks. VCO works like this ...
Our skin is made up of connective tissues which give our skin strength and elasticity. Thanks to strong connective fibers , when we are young and healthy the skin is smooth, elastic and supple. As we age these fibers are subjected to continuous free-radical attack. As a result, connective tissues lose both elasticity and strength. The skin loses its ability to hold itself together and begins to fold, sag and become wrinkle. Once young, soft and smooth the skin turns dry and leathery.
Once a free-radical reaction is started it can cause a chain reaction which produces more free radicals, which ultimately damages thousands of cells. The only way our body has to fight them is with antioxidants. When a free radical comes into contact with an antioxidant, the chain reaction is stopped. For this reason, it is good to have plenty of antioxidants in our cells and tissues to protect us. The number of antioxidants we have in our tissues is determined to a large extent by the nutrients in our diet. Having anti-oxidants in skin care products is important and guess which plant oil is loaded to the gills with antioxidants? Right! Virgin Coconut Oil.
AND ... the small molecular structure of coconut oil allows for easy absorption through the skin or hair, giving it a soft, smooth texture. It makes an ideal styler for dry, coarse hair. And a soothing ointment for the relief of dry, rough and wrinkled skin. Psoriasis and eczema suffers often see great improvements in these distressing conditions.
