Ingredient
Coconut oil
No concern
Widely used and well understood at the amounts in food and beauty.
What it is
Coconut oil. A saturated fat that is solid in a cool kitchen.
Why it’s used
Crunch in granola, slip in a cream, a tropical note.
What to know
The nutrition box already scores the saturates. ‘Virgin’ does not make it a health oil.
Who should skip
Anyone watching saturated fat as a daily pattern.
A gentler swap
Olive oil, or just eat the nuts.
You’ll see it in
Granola, some butters, beauty balms.
