Glow Up: Coconut Oil for Skin and Hair

Hydrate Like a Pro

Who needs a fancy moisturizer when you’ve got coconut oil? Slather it on for ultra-soft, dewy skin that feels as good as it looks. Infuse your coconut oil with calming botanicals like lavender or chamomile using your LĒVO machine for an extra soothing effect. This is a perfect way to enhance your coconut oil’s hydrating properties and make it even more beneficial for sensitive skin.

Hair Goals Achieved

Say goodbye to split ends and hello to shine! Massage coconut oil into your scalp for a deep-conditioning treatment that fights dandruff and leaves your hair looking fabulous. Try infusing the oil with rosemary or tea tree for added benefits like scalp stimulation and dandruff control. These natural additions are well-known for promoting healthy hair growth and a nourished scalp.

Bye-Bye, Makeup (and Chemicals!)

Coconut oil takes the cake as a natural makeup remover. It melts away even the toughest waterproof mascara while leaving your skin soft and moisturized. Infuse with aloe vera for a refreshing, hydrating boost that’s gentle on your skin. This combination ensures your makeup remover is as kind to your skin as it is effective.

DIY Beauty Queen

Turn your kitchen into a beauty lab! From lip balms to sugar scrubs, coconut oil is the base ingredient you need to create your own beauty products. Use your LĒVO machine to infuse coconut oil with vanilla beans or peppermint for custom scents and added benefits. These infusions not only smell amazing but also elevate your homemade beauty products to spa-quality status.

Kitchen Love: Coconut Oil for Cooking and Nutrition

Sizzle Safely at High Heat

Coconut oil is a go-to for stir-frying and frying—its high saturated fat content keeps it stable at high temps. Infuse it with garlic or chili flakes for a flavorful cooking oil that’ll take your dishes to the next level. This infused oil adds a gourmet touch to everyday meals and enhances the flavor profile of your cooking.

Brain Boost in a Jar

Thanks to MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides), coconut oil is like a brain power-up. It’s even been linked to benefits for conditions like Alzheimer’s and epilepsy. Infuse your oil with turmeric or ginger for an anti-inflammatory kick that supports brain health and overall wellness. These infusions can be used in teas, smoothies, or even golden milk recipes.

Your Heart’s New BFF

Coconut oil can help boost HDL (aka “good cholesterol”), keeping your heart happy. Infuse with cinnamon or cacao for a heart-healthy addition to your morning coffee or smoothies. These delicious infusions make it easy to incorporate coconut oil into your daily diet while supporting cardiovascular health.

Energy on Demand

Looking for a quick pick-me-up? MCTs in coconut oil are converted straight into energy, no blood sugar spike required. Infuse with matcha or yerba mate for an extra energy boost perfect for busy mornings. This combination is a game-changer for those on keto or low-carb diets.

Build Those Bones

Packed with antioxidants, virgin coconut oil helps fight free radicals that can mess with bone health. Infuse with calcium-rich herbs like nettle or dandelion for a nutritional boost. These additions can fortify your infused coconut oil and make it a powerhouse for supporting bone strength.

Smile Bright: Coconut Oil for Oral Health and More

Swish Your Way to Better Teeth

Oil pulling might sound old-school, but it’s a game-changer for oral health. Swish coconut oil for fresher breath, healthier gums, and whiter teeth. Infuse with clove or peppermint for added antibacterial and freshening properties. These infusions elevate your oil-pulling routine, making it more effective and enjoyable.

Bonus: Clean Freak Approved

Need a natural cleaning hack? Mix coconut oil with baking soda for a DIY paste that shines up furniture, polishes leather, and handles tough spots. Infuse with lemon or eucalyptus for a fresh scent and extra cleaning power. These infusions make your cleaning routine not only effective but also delightfully aromatic.

Level-Up Your Coconut Oil Concoctions

Coconut oil is more than a pantry staple—it’s your secret weapon for cooking, self-care, and even cleaning.
