Anything you put on your skin should be good enough to eat!
Unfortunately, most of us use many different products containing artificial ingredients on our skin and hair every day. It is actually not the tiny amounts of toxic ingredients per product that are directly harmful, instead it is the layering effect of using many ingredients every single day that can all enter directly into the lymphatic and circulatory systems. Unlike digesting food and drinks, there is no “gate keeping” liver there to protect you from taking on this toxic load. Whilst it truly is difficult to avoid many ingredients, it is important to minimise them and to incorporate daily products into your life that are derived as much as possible from nature. Anything you put on your skin should be good enough to eat!
THE BACKGROUND
Coconut Tree Products were been born from a personal quest to find quality, daily skin and hair care products derived as much as possible from pure, natural and organic ingredients… that actually work, and don’t cost the earth at the same time!
After years of spending money on products that promised much and delivered little, founder Catherine Reddaway (who is also a wonderfully warm and friendly person – we’ve met her!) ended up with nothing more than the same skin and hair concerns, plus a bathroom full of half used products. Bad for the environment, and bad for the wallet!
After using pure coconut oil on her skin and hair for some time, Catherine truly believed in the nourishing powers of coconut oil and she became dedicated to harnessing and boosting its natural goodness to offer products that would feed, protect and beautify skin and hair for everybody. She says that it should be a basic right to have access to simple, natural and effective daily products for you and you loved ones.

The Skinfood + Hairfood by Coconut Tree has been developed to feed your body from the outside with products that are brimming with natural goodness to replenish, protect and care for your skin and hair. Coconut Tree is committed to using only quality, natural or naturally derived ingredients in all of their products and they guarantee that all products will be free from toxic ingredients!
WHAT'S IN IT?
The base of all of the products is made of pure, raw coconut oil derived from the Salomon islands in the South Pacific, fair trade sourced and 100% certified organic. What’s so wonderful about this brand, and what separates them from other organic ones, is that the coconut oil has been sourced from an operation that provides rural people in the South Pacific communities with meaningful employment, a regular income and better living standards, and this in a region where jobs are otherwise scarce. Doesn’t that feel good to support?!
The pure, certified organic, unrefined oil used in all of the Coconut Tree products has been produced from mature fresh coconuts harvested in the South Pacific. This Certified Organic (by NASAA) virgin coconut oil is then hand pressed and processed by Direct Micro Expelling (DME), which is an Australian technology enabling the fastest processing in order to retain all of the goodness of the fresh coconuts. As it is untouched by either heat or chemical treatment before, during or after pressing, every living enzyme and nutrient is left intact to nourish your skin and hair.
All products are enhanced with lush blends of botanical extracts, essential oils, 
natural butters and vitamins, selected for their deeply nurturing, restorative and protective qualities. What’s more, and more rare, is that their products contain only natural fragrances such as vanilla, coconut and essential oils including lime, lemongrass and lemon myrtle – no synthetics here!
And of course they are never tested on animals either.

SKIN FOOD
Coconut oil is an excellent skin conditioner containing medium-chain triglycerides which deeply penetrate, moisturise and act as a protective barrier against the aging effects of environmental and free radical damage.
It also aids in exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin cells and penetrates deeply to strengthen the underlying tissues. Coconut Oil helps skin retain its moisture, it promotes skin elasticity and keeps it looking young, supple and radiant.
Because it’s bursting with fatty acids, vitamins and nutrients like lauric acid, caprylic acid and capric acid, Vitamin K and E, and iron, coconut oil provides a rich supply of antioxidants and healing goodies for skin and its excellent absorption qualities make it ideal for all skin types, and particularly for dry skin.
As an added bonus, coconut oil acts as a natural sun protection by screening up to 20% of ultraviolet exposure. It is also healing and soothing for sunburn and rashes and its’ antimicrobial properties help heal skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
Coconut oil is gentle enough for babies and is ideal for baby massage and for treating nappy rash and cradle cap (see especially the Calm Balm product which is excellent for this, as well as healing eczema, ulcers and for new tattoos we've heard..!)
HAIR FOOD
Packed with healing hair nutrients, including Vitamin E (an essential nutrient for skin and hair), and fatty acids including lauric acid and capric acid, coconut oil helps to promote protein regrowth by penetrating deep into each hair, getting past the cuticle, repairing and preventing damage from the inside out – making it stronger and leaving it thicker, fuller and shinier.
The lauric acid in coconut oil helps to promote healthy scalp and hair as it is a natural, powerful and potent anti-bacterial and anti-microbial agent that creates natural defences against disease protecting and preventing conditions such as hair loss, itchy scalp, dandruff and even lice infestations.
A great way to try the products out and see if you like them (and we are SURE you will!) is to get the small travel kit, with a tester of the shampoo and conditioner, and a shower gel with lemongrass scent. Use it at home or bring it on your next travels. Either way, get some here
