Cocozia adds organic coconut oil to product line
Epicurex, the importer and distributer of 100% organic coconut water Cocozia, launched a line of premium, organic coconut oil to be available from selected stockists.
Positioned as both a cooking oil and a natural beauty treatment for hair and skin, Cocozia coconut oil will be available in 500ml glass jars, which the firm says is the safest and most reliable method of storing oils.
Sourced from organic plantations in the Philippines, the coconut oil is high in specific fatty acids that lend anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and overall nurturing properties, Epicurex claimed. The firm also claimed that it can boost metabolism and help with weight loss. The coconut oil will debut at Natural Products Expo East 2014 in Baltimore from Sept. 18 to 20.
Coconut appears to be headed nowhere but up, as data collected from FoodEssentials shows the ingredient is incorporated into a wide range of food and beverage products, and national and private label brands alike. Read 'If it says coconut, it sells'.
