i bought spectrum organic coconut oil for my hair and it seems to work well. but what the diffrance between the organic one and the virgin one? it sayd the organic one is refines and the virgin one is unrefinedDiffrence between refined and unrefined coconut oil?
What is the difference between your refined and unrefined coconut oils?





Spectrum actually sells three coconut oils. Two are Spectrum Naturals Organic Refined Coconut Oil and Spectrum Naturals Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil (they come in 14 oz glass jars), and are labeled as culinary oils. The other is Spectrum Essentials Organic Coconut Oil (comes in a 15oz plastic tub), and is labeled for skin and hair care. Our unrefined coconut oils have a distinct coconut flavor and aroma and the refined coconut oil has a neutral flavor for a greater variety of applications. Our Spectrum Essentials Skin and Hair Coconut Oil is edible.





We did a comparative analysis of several different coconut oils and found that the nutritional benefits (such as caprylic, capric and lauric acids) derived from the refined, unrefined and ';virgin'; coconut oils have little variance. The term ';extra virgin'; only applies to olive oil; at present, no authoritative US agency such as the FDA or USDA regulates the use or misuse of the term ';Extra Virgin';.
