What do we hope to accomplish by networking?

Within this world there are many complexities and aboriginal and indigenous sovereigns must organize in such a fashion that we may achieve individually and communally. This current attempt to address this challenge is the developmental approach of networking. If our sovereign community is to be effective in developing a network such as the one presented here, we must have an overall understanding of what the concept of networking entails. It seems that networking holds the most promise for the understanding of ourselves and our nation.

7 Personal Care Uses – Fractionated Coconut Oil

First Things First…

What is Fractionated Coconut Oil?

Fractionated coconut oil is, as the name suggests, Coconut oil with specific components removed. In the non-chemical fractionating process, the components of whole coconut oil that cause it to be solid at room temperature and be susceptible to oxidation are removed. The resulting substance is liquid at room temperature and very stable. Fractionated Coconut Oil provides a number of advantages over whole coconut oil, primarily increased shelf-life. Unlike whole coconut oil, Fractionated Coconut Oil can withstand light and high heat without going rancid. It is also lighter, non-greasy, and has a greater cleansing effect on the skin, making it popular as a carrier for essential oils and as a base for a variety of skin care products.

Benefits

Longer shelf life

Less greasy and has a lightweight texture

Enhances absorption through dry skin

Helps prevent sensitivity responses
