Parachute Coconut Oil is produced by the Indian company Marico Ltd. that is one of the country's leading manufacturers of consumer goods. Parachute is Marico's flagship brand of pure coconut oil and coconut-based cosmetic products. Pure coconut oil is widely used for hair and skin care. It is a real salvation for dry and damaged hair as well as for dehydrated skin. It can be used for daily care or as an intensive hydrating treatment.
Parachute Coconut Oil today stands for purity and quality of 100% unrefined coconut oil. The product is free of preservatives, stabilisers and other additives. Its ubiquitous blue plastic bottle protects the oil from exposure to light which helps to preserve its useful properties and prevents rancidification.
Useful properties. Coconut oil, also known as copra oil, is extracted from the kernel or meat of mature coconuts. Just like other vegetable oils, it is rich in saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Because of its high saturated fat content, coconut oil is resistant to rancidification and thus has a relatively long shelf life.
Coconut oil provides skin cells and hair follicles with nutrients, has a moisturising, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect. It accelerates the healing of minor skin injuries and helps to repair the damaged hair structure. Coconut oil is most often used as a moisturiser, but you can also use it as a sunscreen. It protects the skin from UV radiation and helps you to get a good tan without getting sunburnt.
