Why choose extra virgin coconut oil over refined?

Extra virgin coconut oil retains its natural mild aroma and consistency since it is minimally processed. Refined coconut oil, by contrast, undergoes additional steps to remove aroma and color for a more neutral base. For DIY recipes and natural products, extra virgin coconut oil is often preferred for its authentic characteristics.

Can extra virgin coconut oil be used in soap or candle making?

Yes, many artisans include extra virgin coconut oil in soap bases to add stability and lather. It can also be used in natural candles or balms when blended with other ingredients. Testing ratios within your formulation is recommended for best results.

How can I preserve the freshness of extra virgin coconut oil?

Store coconut oil in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat or sunlight. Keeping it in a sealed container helps protect it from moisture and external scents.

Where to buy extra virgin coconut oil in bulk or small batches?

You can purchase extra virgin coconut oil directly from SVA Organics, available in both bulk and retail quantities to meet the needs of DIY creators and businesses.

Can extra virgin coconut oil be used on its own?

Yes, extra virgin coconut oil can be used directly in oil-based formulations or as a base. Since it is solid at cooler temperatures, it may be blended with other carrier oils or butters for a softer, more spreadable consistency.
