The organic virgin coconut oil used in Koni Hawaiian products are Non-GMO, USDA Certified Organic. No additives and no preservatives and is 100% natural virgin coconut made from certified organic coconuts grown without pesticides or fertilizers.

Virgin coconut oil, rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E, contains capric acid, caprylic acid, and lauric acid. These three fatty acids have strong disinfectant, anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti microbial properties. It protects skin from microbial infections because it is rich in proteins that help keep skin healthy and rejuvenated. It has been used traditionally for centuries by Pacific Islanders for medicinal purposes internally and externally. Coconut oil is most effective on scars, and bruises as it speeds up the healing process by repairing damaged tissues. Coconut oil also helps in treating various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, rosacea and eczema.

Our Shea butter comes from Togo, Africa. And is produced from the Karite Shea tree which is only found in the tropics of Africa. The nuts from the Shea tree are crushed and processed, yielding a vegetable fat; shea butter. This process is mostly done by the women of Africa. Unrefined shea butter has a wide range of benefits because it's naturally rich in proteins, essential vitamins (A, E and F), and fatty acids (fatty acids are needed for normal growth and behavior and help with healthy cell membranes). It is more expensive than refined shea butter because organic products take more time to process. Shea butter is extremely high in vitamin A, which aids in the skin’s recovery from allergies, eczema, dermatitis, and even wrinkles and abrasions.

Just a note not all shea butters are the same. There is refined and unrefined. Refined, not so good - has been stripped of most of it's nutrients through a chemical process. Unrefined - good, it's in the most natural form.
