I am always on a hunt for the purest form of coconut oil which doesn’t involve any heating process while making it. Must say have found that oil and am purely content with the authenticity of the brand. Totally amazed on the fact that my buddy friend RENJI ( Makeupholicworld) whom I look up to all the time on her achievement in building a brand from SCRATCH and also have gained pure respect for her work & dedication towards getting us introduced to all the goodness of Ayurvedic products from the GODS OWN COUNTRY KERALA.
The SHESHA AYURVEDA EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL is one such Indian brand which makes authentic cold processed extra virgin coconut oil which is extracted from fresh coconut milk without any chemical processes.
I have tried almost all the products from the brand but, today I will be reviewing the EXTRA VIRGIN COLD PROCESSED COCONUT OIL.
I & My Family members have used this oil for nearly two years and now I am able to put all our views & thoughts in this blog.
EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL
I have been using coconut oil since childhood as my mom & granny hooked me to it. Since I have discovered how pure coconut oil feels and smells I have fallen in love with it. EXTRA Virgin Coconut oil is the purest form of coconut oil which is WHITE In color. Its melting point is of 78 ºF and hence the oil solidifies in winter showing us that the oil is pure and organic. It’s a Staple product in most of our kitchens and our beauty Regimen be it Skincare or Haircare. But using an authentic brand with natural sources is the only way we will be obtaining the oil.
Available at:
- SHESHA AYURVEDA – CODE : RAKSHITA for 10% off
- VANITY WAGON – CODE : RAKSHITA20 for 20% off
PACKAGING
The Hair oil comes in a transparent plastic bottle with a golden screw top lid cap and has a protective inner lid that prevents from any leakage or spillage. I usually make a hole while I use it so that it’s easy for me to dispense the product without me spilling it. The product comes in two different packaging. You need to choose between 200ML plastic bottle and 100ML Glass bottle. I usually pick the 200ML plastic bottle as the quantity you get is more and is travel friendly.
The oil is very light weight and is translucent. The nutty smell of the oil is therapeutic. The oil usually solidifies below 24º and gets a little bit cloudy or milky which is very normal .You just need to keep the bottle on hot water for few seconds for the oil to get melted. It is the highest grade you can achieve as it is extracted from Cold pressed technology. The extraction process happens within 24hrs from fresh coconut milk. The oil doesn’t contain any preservative from looking at the texture and aroma.
I use SHESHA AYURVEDA EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL in cooking, baby massage, oiling my hair, removing my makeup, Henna hair pack, base oil to my hair care routine. I use this oil on my eyebrows and lashes and get in a good massage to feel relaxed at times. During winters, my whole family uses this oil as a body oil to rescue from dry skin as it gets cold in BANGALORE. My dad and mom use it as a feet relaxer at night and massage it in a little bit and then go to sleep.
MY HAIR TEXTURE
I have wavy frizzy hair. Not easily manageable. After using this oil in my routine it has left my hair smooth and frizz free. It has improved my hair texture a lot. I notice the healthy shine and softness in my hair. I feel that bounce my hair has got now and I love the feeling of soft manageable hair.
HOW CAN YOU USE THE OIL
- HOT OIL TREATMENT – Preheat the oil for a few seconds and use it as a treatment for your scalp and hair length. Give it a good massage for 5mins and leave it on for 30-45 mins and then shower off with mild shampoo and conditioner. It will leave your hair well-nourished and frizz free. It prevents dandruff and promotes healthy hair growth.
- BABY MASSAGE is the best to relax your baby muscles and nourish them. Preheat the oil and use it on baby skin and hair carefully without getting the oil into eyes or nose. This oil massage can be done on a daily basis. I have used this oil on both my kids during their bath routines. It leaves their skin and hair so nourished with added glow.
- Use it as a MAKEUP REMOVER by pouring a little amount on your palms, warm it between your palms and then apply it on your face. The makeup dissolves immediately. Waterproof mascara, eyeliner & Liquid lipstick get off soon. You don’t have to apply any pressure in the process. Later wash it off with your favorite Cleanser. This process leaves your skin moisturized and baby soft. SAVE on all the wet wipes and irritating your skin with rubbing and pulling.
- COOKING is another best way to reap its benefits to your healthy body. I use it in my salad dressings as well. The oil contains LAURIC ACID and essential fatty acids which help in your body health.
- OIL PULLING – I have been using this oil in my oil pulling journey and it is going good.
- If you use HENNA HAIR PACK for hair then try using a tablespoon of this oil in the concoction. You will notice that your hair gets manageable after the wash. It doesn’t get dry with HENNA any more. I will post a detailed blog on my HENNA HAIR PACK soon.
- BODY MASSAGE OIL – Another excellent way to relax and calm your body muscles on a WEEKEND. Preheat required quantity and apply it on. Give it a good massage or if you could get a PAMPER SESSION from your mom or a friend then it would be great. It relaxes all your body muscles & it feels good. Take a shower post massage and apply a good body lotion.
- PREGNANCY BELLY MASSAGE is a boon and relaxer which I indulged during my pregnancy as well. I used this oil to massage my pregnancy belly which relieved me off itchy skin and kept my skin nourished and well moisturized.
- Use it as a BODY OIL post bath during any season of the year. You need to just use a dime of it, NOT MORE. The oil gets easily absorbed without much effort. Your skin is left healthy and moisturized.
- Use it on any dry parts of your body such as elbows, knuckles, feet and lips as well to keep them well moisturized and nourished.
You can definitely use this oil in 100 different ways. NO DOUBT.
My thought on this precious GEM is just go ahead and buy it to try it for yourself. You will love it as much as I do.
The EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL is affordable as well. It retails for Rs 350/- for 200ml product.
