Direct from Simeulue Island, Sumatra Indonesia, āluān’s pure coconut oil is Rainforest Friendly, Organic Certified, and Sustainably Sourced!
THE PROCESS
Many virgin coconut oils claim ‘Cold Pressed’ yet are heat treated before cold pressing.
Āluān Raw Virgin Coconut Oil is created from fresh coconut that is cold-pressed into a milk before gentle oil separation via centrifugal extraction process, which spins the oil off the top of the fresh cream.
This is the gentlest, heat-free approach. Raw coconut oil is the highest quality oil for skincare and food as there are no impurities in the oil. Each batch of oil is produced from farm fresh coconuts within one day!
ENVIRONMENT IMPACT
Āluān was founded alongside conservation foundation EcosystemImpact.
They integrate business and conservation in order to address the multi-layered threats to nature on their islands, in an integrated way.
EcosystemImpact conserves critically endangered sea turtles, songbirds and their habitats in the same landscape, whilst āluān partners with 500 coconut farmers to source fresh organic certified coconuts.
They nurture their relationships with farmers via coconut farming. They pay premium prices for their product, supporting with technology and aggregation, and regenerating farm land to conserve the forest and species in the area.
