Jarrow Formulas coconut oil is 100% organic, extra virgin,  unrefined and expeller pressed. It is vegan safe and is safe for those with nut allergies and food sensitivities; it is made in a facility that has no wheat or gluten, no soybeans, no egg, no dairy, no fish/shellfish and no peanuts.

Jarrow Formulas Organic Coconut Oil is unrefined, which means it has more nutrients and healthy properties than a refined coconut oil does. Being unrefined, makes Jarrow Formulas coconut oil better for a health supplement than a refined coconut oil would be. Like all coconut oils, Jarrow Formulas coconut oil contains healthy medium chain fatty acids such as  lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid. These healthy medium chain fatty acids offer excellent antibiotic, anti-fungal and anti-oxidant properties. Jarrow Formulas coconut oil is safe for the whole family, including dogs and cats, and can be taken daily to help fight disease, boost immunity system and improve overall good health. As a health supplement it can be taken straight or added to food or drinks.

This coconut oil is also excellent for skin and hair care. It can be used as an all over body lotion to help keep skin soft and supple; it can be used a daily face cream and moisturizer to help diminish the look of fine line and wrinkles, and give the face a beautiful youthful glow; and it can be used as a deep conditioner to help repair dry damaged hair. It can also be used as a massage oil, for oil pulling, shaving cream, and as a bath oil.

Jarrow Formulas coconut oil can also be used in the kitchen as a healthy substitute for butter, margarine, shortening and vegetable oil. It can be used in baking to replace butter, eggs or shortening. It can be spread on toast or muffins instead of butter or margarine, and it can be used in cooking instead of other cooking oils. However, due to the oil being unrefined it is not the best for cooking at very high heats. Jarrow Formulas coconut oil is expeller pressed, which decreases its coconut  smell and flavor, making it preferred for cooking and baking by some people.
