Refined Organic Copra Oil (Coconut Oil) — CAS No. 8001-31-8

Copra oil, also known as coconut oil, is a natural vegetable oil obtained from the dried kernel of the coconut. Refined and deodorized, it has a stable composition rich in lauric acid, offering excellent foaming and cleansing power.
At room temperature, it solidifies into a white solid and melts at around 24–26°C. This vegetable-origin oil is used in the formulation of soaps, balms, hair care products, and moisturizing creams.
The organic grade offered by Arcane Direct complies with the ECOCERT and COSMOS standards, ensuring use in natural and organic cosmetics. Available in professional packaging suited to artisanal and industrial production.
