Coconut oil is widely used in the food and beverage industry for its rich flavor, high smoke point, and natural source of healthy fats, making it ideal for cooking, baking, and plant-based formulations. In personal care, health & beauty, and fragrance, it serves as a nourishing moisturizer, hair conditioner, and carrier oil in skincare and aromatherapy products. In the pharmaceutical industry, coconut oil is used as a base for topical ointments, capsules, and nutraceuticals due to its antimicrobial and emollient properties.
