Crude Coconut Oil

Crude Coconut Oil is the unrefined product obtained from the mechanical or natural extraction of coconut meat or copra. Retaining its natural aroma and nutrient profile, it serves as a foundational ingredient for refined coconut oils and oleochemical derivatives. With high lauric acid content and broad industrial utility, it’s a key input for formulators seeking performance, flexibility, and sourcing transparency.
