Coconut Butter, or Cocos nucifera, is native to the islands of the Western Pacific. The Palm tree is actually not a tree at all but considered a grass.
Coconut butter is said to be used therapeutically for dry, acne prone and mild skin infections. Coconut butter (oil) is considered to be emollient, slightly occlusive, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. It also helps to prevent transepidermal water loss (loss of moisture through the skin)
