Properties of Boa Gente VCO
Pure and Unrefined
Boa Gente Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is extracted from fresh coconuts, not dried copra, using a cold-pressing process that preserves all the oil’s natural nutrients, aroma, and silky texture. It contains no additives, bleaching, or deodorizing— only pure nature.
Rich in Lauric Acid
Lauric acid (C12) makes up nearly 50% of VCO’s fatty acids. This unique component gives the oil its strong antimicrobial, antiviral, and antifungal properties — helping protect skin and body from harmful bacteria and infections.
Highly Stable and Long-Lasting
Thanks to its high saturated-fat content, VCO is naturally resistant to oxidation and rancidity, giving it an exceptionally long shelf life without preservatives. It remains fresh and effective for months, even in tropical climates.
Deeply Nourishing for Skin and Hair
Virgin coconut oil is a natural emollient, rich in vitamin E, antioxidants, and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs)that deeply moisturize, protect, and restore the skin’s barrier.
Applied to hair, it reduces protein loss, strengthens strands, and enhances natural shine.
Metabolism-Supporting and Energy-Giving
When used in cooking, VCO’s MCTs are quickly converted into energy rather than stored as fat. This makes it a source of clean, fast energy and supports metabolic balance and brain function when consumed in moderation.
Naturally Anti-Inflammatory
Its composition helps reduce inflammation in the skin and body, soothing irritation, redness, or dryness. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and safe for babies and pets.
Multi-Purpose and Sustainable
From skincare and haircare to cooking, oral care, and even pet wellness, VCO is one of nature’s most versatile gifts. At Boa Gente, each jar embodies not only purity and health, but also sustainability and community care.
