    VCO (Cosmetics)

    The coconut oil (VCO) provides many items of great value to man, such as coconut

    meat, milk, water, oil, and sugar. Currently, there is a great deal of research and

    commercial interest in cosmetic production utilizing VCO. VCO infused beauty products

    such as moisturizer, shampoo, lip balm, mouthwash, sun screen cream, hair oil and

    massage oil are available worldwide. The aim of this article is to explore the potential

    utility of VCO for production of cosmetics. ( Ravi Pandiselvam, 2020 ) People in the

    tropical countries have effectively used coconut oil as a traditional moisturizer for

    centuries. Mineral oil is the major ingredient for preparation of moisturizer.

    Recently, the coconut oil was found to have skin antiseptic effects. (Agero and

    Verallo-Rowell, 2004). VCO is used to prepare natural shampoos, in which the

    extract of amla fruit and soap nut powder are sometimes incorporated to add

    value (Rethinam, 2002). VCO has been widely used for the preparation of hair oil.

    VCO hydrates and softens the hair. The presence of fatty acids, vitamins and minerals

    in VCO nourish and restore the hair naturally. VCO has multi-benefits that include

    moisture retention, smoothing and protecting. The studies show that the VCO can be

    used as protective medium against hair damage and it blocking about 20% of the sun's

    ultraviolet rays. (Rele and Mohile, 2003). Oil pulling has been used extensively as a

    traditional Indian folk remedy for many years for strengthening teeth, gums, and

    jaws and to prevent decay, bleeding gums, oral malodor, and dryness of throat,

    and cracked lips (Asokan et al., 2011). VCO is an ideal moisturizer for the body

    which makes the skin smooth and textured. The molecular structure of the VCO allows

    for easy absorpon on the skin. A massage with coconut oil can also help to relax
    ght muscles in the body. Songkro et al. (2010). VCO is processed from the fresh

    kernel by mechanical or natural means, through the application of physical methods

    such as cold pressing, expeller-pressing, centrifugal force, heating,or by natural means

    without undergoing chemical refining (Beegum et al., 2019). It is widely popular for its

    multipurpose applications such as cooking oil, cosmetic uses (Pandiselvam et al.,

    2019), VCO can also reduce blood pressure. In addition, VCO can also be used for

    skincare as an external drug, such as wound medicine, and can function as a probiotic.
