We are in love with CoCo...Coconut Oil that is!!!

Seaux Shea takes great pride in it's products and uses only the best ingredients in our bath and body products. Coconut oil is one of ingredients most used by Seaux Shea and we have research to explain why.

Anti-inflammatory
In a study in India, the high levels of antioxidants present in virgin coconut oil reduced inflammation and healing arthritis more effectively than leading medications.

Antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral

Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which is known to reduce candida, fight bacteria, and create a hostile environment for viruses. Many diseases today are causes by the overgrowth of bad bacteria, funguses, viruses and parasites in the body.

Coconut oil is wonderful as a face cleanser, moisturizer and sun screen, but also it can treat many skin disorders. The fatty acids (Caprylic and Lauric) in coconut oil reduce inflammation internally and externally and moisturize making them a great solution for all types of skin conditions.

Protects and Heals Skin
It protects the skin and has many antioxidants that make it ideal for healing the skin. In addition the antimicrobial properties balance out the candida or fungal sources that can cause many skin conditions.

Great for Hair
If you have dandruff or dry hair coconut oil has the perfect fatty acids to help improve these conditions. Our Healthy Hair Conditioning Mousse serves a dual purpose when used as a deep conditioner and/or daily hair dress.

Anti Aging Properties
According to research published in the medical journal, Food and Function, coconut oil improves antioxidant levels and can slow aging. Our Skin Tight Facial Cream is packed with coconut oil and other ingredients that reduce the signs of aging. We recommend using it twice a day to realize optimum results.

Hydrates & Moisturizes Dry Skin
No matter what condition your skin is in, adding quickly-absorbing virgin coconut oil to your daily skin care routine can hydrate and smooth your skin. “This research demonstrates how good virgin coconut oil is as a moisturizer,” says study author Mara Evangelista, PhD. “It’s affordable, effective, and especially helpful for the older population, when skin dryness is a pressing problem.”

A 2004 study concluded that coconut oil is as effective and safe as mineral oil when used as a moisturizer. Agero AL1, Verallo-Rowell VM.
