Organic Coconut Oil is a versatile and healthful oil derived from the fruit of the coconut tree. Our premium coconut oil is sourced from certified organic coconut trees in the lush lowlands of Peru. The extraction process utilizes a cold press method, ensuring that the oil retains its natural nutrients and flavor without the use of harmful chemicals or additives. This makes our Organic Coconut Oil a pure and wholesome choice for your culinary and skincare needs.
Organic Coconut Oil is renowned for its numerous health benefits. It is rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are easily digestible fats that can provide a quick source of energy. MCTs are also known to support weight management by promoting a feeling of fullness and boosting metabolism. Additionally, coconut oil has antimicrobial properties that can help combat harmful bacteria and viruses, making it a great addition to your diet.
This versatile oil can be used in a variety of culinary applications. Whether you are sautéing vegetables, baking, or making smoothies, Organic Coconut Oil adds a delightful flavor and richness to your dishes. It has a high smoke point, making it ideal for frying and roasting without breaking down and losing its nutritional value. You can also use it as a dairy-free alternative in recipes that call for butter or other oils.
Beyond its culinary uses, Organic Coconut Oil is a popular choice for skincare and beauty routines. Its moisturizing properties make it an excellent natural moisturizer for dry skin, and it can be used as a makeup remover or a soothing balm for chapped lips. Additionally, coconut oil can be applied to hair as a deep conditioning treatment, helping to nourish and strengthen strands while adding shine.

Candela Peru is an alternative biotrade organization that has been working since 1989 to improve the livelihoods of farmers in the Madre de Dios region of Peru.

Candela Peru collaborates with 266 local farmers to promote fair trade and sustainable harvesting of Brazil nuts and other products, including our Organic Coconut Oil.
Through education and support, Candela Peru helps farmers implement sustainable forestry practices, ensuring that they can earn a living while preserving the rich biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest.
