Where you will see it

In our range

Virgin coconut oil and fractionated coconut oil have different physical properties. Use the directions for the actual preparation.

For complete ingredients, allergens, suitability and directions, read the current product label. A guide to one ingredient does not describe every possible effect of the finished preparation.
