Why Do We Use Coconut Oil In TreeActiv Products?

Packed with essential fatty acids and antioxidants, Coconut Oil is proven to not only stimulate hair growth, but also to moisturize the scalp which prevents dandruff caused by dry skin. Due to Coconut Oil’s ability to act as an anti-aging moisturizer for skin, it delays the appearance of wrinkles and flaking skin on the scalp. Coconut Oil has a naturally high saturated fatty acid content, which is ideal for penetrating the hair cuticles rough surface to reduce protein loss in both damaged and undamaged hair. Since hair is made of protein, this is noticeably a huge benefit. Since Coconut oil acts as a conditioner for the hair strands, it helps to retain a high water content in the cuticles for attractive, healthy hair.  

This ingredient profile makes Coconut Oil ideal for both hair and skin. Pure Coconut Oil seals in moisture and protects from protein loss and damage that can occur to your hair, like breakage and split ends. The high antioxidant content plays a crucial role in anti-aging by helping to maintain skin’s elasticity and ultimately in reducing hair loss. Some may be hesitant to the idea of oil on your skin and hair, but Coconut Oil helps control natural oil production and won’t clog pores.
