Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil 200ml

Cold Pressed • Chemical-Free • Unrefined 

Vasara Wood Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil is 100% pure, cold pressed, unrefined, and free from any chemicals or preservatives. We use only the freshest, mature coconuts, ethically sourced from farmers. These coconuts are carefully selected and steam sterilized before being pressed in traditional wooden kolhus (kachi ghani), ensuring a slow extraction process with minimal heat generation, which retains maximum nutrients, antioxidants, and MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides).

Key Benefits of Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil

100% Pure & Nutrient-Dense: Crafted in small batches from fresh coconut milk—not copra—our oil retains its full spectrum of nutrients, including vitamins E & K, iron, and powerful antioxidants.

Rich in Lauric Acid & MCTs: Contains up to 60% Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), which are rapidly metabolized by the body for energy. Lauric acid offers antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Supports Brain Function: Our virgin coconut oil contains up to 60% MCTs, which are quickly converted into ketones — a clean energy source for the brain. Ketones help activate brain-signaling pathways and have been linked to better memory, focus, and even cognitive protection in neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.

Aids Digestion: MCTs have a shorter molecular structure, making them easier to digest. This is especially helpful for people with sensitive digestion or gastrointestinal disorders. Regular use can support a healthy gut and improve nutrient absorption.

For Cooking & Diet: With a high smoke point and rich aroma, it’s ideal for sautéing, baking, and deep frying. Recommended in Keto, and Ayurvedic diets for weight management and gut health.

For Hair & Scalp: Deeply conditions the hair, promotes hair growth, and helps repair damage, leaving your hair soft, shiny, and strong.

For Skin & Baby Care: Works as a natural moisturizer, helps treat diaper rashes, soothes dry or sensitive skin, and can be used for baby massage.

What are MCTs & Lauric Acid — and Why Do They Matter?

MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides) are healthy fats that are absorbed quickly by the liver and converted into energy or ketones—making them great for boosting metabolism, supporting brain function, and aiding digestion.

Lauric Acid (C12), found abundantly in virgin coconut oil, is a powerful antimicrobial that helps eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This makes it incredibly beneficial for immunity, oral hygiene, hair health, and skin protection.

Difference in Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil and Coconut Oil

Cold pressed coconut oil is typically made from dried coconut kernels, also known as copra. Though the extraction process is gentle, the raw material (copra) may have already lost some of its natural nutrients, aroma, and antioxidants due to sun-drying and storage. This oil often has a slight yellow tint and a milder fragrance.

In contrast, cold pressed virgin coconut oil is extracted from fresh coconut milk. It retains its natural sweetness, fragrance, and higher levels of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), antioxidants, and lauric acid. The result is a purer, more nutrient-dense oil with a creamy texture and natural coconut aroma.

Storage & Shelf Life

• Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
• Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use.
• The oil may solidify in cooler temperatures—this is natural. Gently warm to liquify.
