In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
Coconut oil is the new craze sweeping the beauty industry. With so many benefits, you’ll want to get your hands on the best coconut oil for hair and skin. That’s why we’ve put together a coconut oil buying guide! We’ve done all the research and reviews to keep you in-the-know. But what do all those words on the label mean? Below is a list of features you need to be aware of when you’re doing your shopping.
Organic: Coconut oil is fairly organic anyway, but certain extraction techniques add unnecessary chemicals. A truly organic coconut oil isn’t refined and doesn’t add any preservatives. Beard balms that are organic are also processed without the help of chemicals.
Package Size: You will, of course, want to know how much product you’re getting. If you have long hair or a more sizeable beard you’ll want to find larger packages of product, or risk having to purchase smaller amounts several times a week.
Type: Here’s the thing: beard balms are specifically for beards. Coconut oil (in solid or liquid form) can be used for skin, hair, and beards, along with a variety of other uses. We don’t recommend using beard balm on your hair.
Cold Pressed: Cold-pressed coconut oil is mechanically processed at lower temperatures. This process helps retain the beauty aspects of the mixture. Oil that is not cold-pressed might have gone through rigorous, high-temperature techniques that strip the natural benefits from the oil.
Pieces: Sometimes coconut oil and beard balms come in multipacks. Smaller containers that have less product in them usually will be sold in three-packs or more to help you save money and keep using the product.
Unrefined: Unrefined coconut oil has been filtered at low heat to retain the healthful benefits. Refined versions have been filtered, bleached, and deodorized, taking away some of the ‘pure’ benefits of the oil and adding chemicals to the mix.
