Most mindless companies that package everything in single-use plastic leave it to the consumer to deal with the remorse of packaging ending up in a landfill or the ocean. With only profit in mind, these companies do not appreciate the impact on the environment.

At Made Mindful, we live and breathe the mindful lifestyle. Products that are made mindfully are our essence. We believe that companies should be held responsible for the products and packaging used. We care deeply about the waste we create, so we try our best to use as little single-use plastic as possible. We opt for glass bottles, FSC-certified paper packaging, recycled paper, or aluminum where we can. We choose reusable, recyclable, biodegradable, or compostable packaging to make it easier for you to live a mindful life.

Yes they are!  We use eco-friendly ingredients that are safe for humans and nature.  We make sure that all our products, from manufacturing to delivery, have a low impact on the environment.

Our landfills are filling up and spilling over into our oceans, damaging our ecosystems and food supply.  Something needs to be done.  So we use glass bottles, aluminum caps, and paper boxes because plastic packaging piles up in landfills, and stays there for thousands of years.  Glass, aluminum, and paper are more likely to be recycled if cleaned before disposing of it.  We also use recycled paper or FSC-certified paper where we can.

Your health and overall wellness are our number one priority.  We believe that everyone should have access to safe alternatives for their everyday personal care and household care needs.  We strive to be mindful about the ingredients we use in our products to ensure that we don’t compromise your health.  We use eco-friendly ingredients that are safe for humans and the environment.

Made Mindful Virgin Coconut Oil is made from the freshest coconuts harvested from pristine plantations in the Philippines.  It is immediately pressed and packed to retain its original nutrient content.  We extract using the expeller press method, which is a purely physical process without the use of any additives or chemicals. The result is an unadulterated and 100% pure coconut oil, as nature intended.

We don’t use pesticides or chemical fertilizers to grow our coconuts, so in essence they are organic, but not certified at this time.  We are working our way towards that goal and we can’t wait to celebrate when that milestone happens!  

We work closely with smaller farmers and tenants in the provinces of Bicol and Quezon in the Philippines and make sure they go through training and attend seminars on best practices.  There are also groups hired to harvest, dehusk and transport nuts to the nearest road access.  This is one of the main sources of livelihood in these provinces, so by purchasing Made Mindful coconut products, you are supporting these families too.

We source our coconuts from Quezon and Bicol in Southern Philippines.

We believe in fair wages and make sure our farmers receive above market rate and are paid upfront, cash on delivery.  

We have scholarship programs in Lucban Academy in Lucban, Quezon, where some farms are based.  They are open not just to the children of farmers but for any individual who shows potential and needs financial aid for their education.

Made Mindful Virgin Coconut Oil is:

·All Natural, Non-GMO, and Non-Hydrogenated

·Made without Hexane, Chemicals, Pesticides, Additives or Preservatives

·Free from any trans fats

After a shower, pat your skin with a towel.  Pour a coin sized amount of VCO on your hand and rub your palms together.  Slather oil on your entire body from your neck down to your toes.  With the residue on your hands, pat your face then run your fingers through the tips of your hair.  Consult with a dermatologist if you have any kind of skin reaction after using VCO.

You only need a very small amount of VCO for your hair.  Place your hand on the mouth of the bottle and tip the bottle over.  Rub your hands together then run your fingers through the tips of your hair.  You can also use VCO to tame frizzy baby hair near the roots.  Consult with a dermatologist if you have any kind of skin reaction after using VCO.

You can take VCO with a spoon or add it to smoothies.  You can also use it as an alternative to butter and vegetable oil in baking, to stir fry and shallow fry meat and veggies, and as a salad dressing.  You can also make bulletproof coffee with VCO instead of MCT oil.  1-2 teaspoons is enough.  Consult with your doctor about your cholesterol levels before consuming more than 1 tablespoon of VCO per day if it’s an area of concern for you.

Keep the bottle closed when not in use.  Store in a cool and dry place, avoid direct sunlight. 

Made Mindful Virgin Coconut oil, if stored in a cool and dry place, has a shelf life of two years from date of production. Each bottle states the expiration date. 

The smoke point of VCO is 350ºF or 177ºC, which makes it a great option for stir-frying and baking.

Yes it is!  You can stir-fry or shallow fry with VCO but we do not recommend deep frying.  VCO is also great for baking.  Swap butter in the recipe for VCO.

Place the bottle in hot water or on a hot surface for a few minutes.

According to research, the optimal daily amount of VCO that an adult can consume per day is around 50mls (or 2-3 tablespoons).  It is recommended to have a well-rounded diet of wholefoods, particularly vegetables, and to exercise regularly when making VCO a part of your diet.  If you need to be watching your saturated fat intake, consult with your physician on the amount of VCO you should be adding to your diet.

Absolutely! VCO is essential for women during pregnancy and nursing as well as babies, toddlers and children.  Coconut oil will help nourish your skin and can help prevent stretch marks during rapid weight gain or loss, it’ll protect your nipples while nursing, and nourish your hair when it has been depleted during pregnancy. It’ll do wonders for your baby by keeping away nappy rash, getting rid of eczema, dry skin, infant acne. It can replace baby toothpaste, be used as massage oil and much more. If you are pregnant or nursing, consult with your obstetrician or pediatrician before using VCO.

Yes, it is but we recommend that you always consult your family doctor or pediatrician before adding VCO to your baby’s or toddler’s diet. Just like the mother’s breast milk, VCO is rich in Lauric Acid. Babies and toddlers need healthy fats in their diet. A portion of their calorie intake should come from healthy fats to help cell repair, brain development, give them energy, as well as help with the growth of their bones and organs. Virgin Coconut Oil is a great plant-based option for this.

Yes, it is generally considered safe for cats or dogs to have small amounts of VCO in their food or applied to their skin or fur. It can help with hot spots, allergic reactions, act as moisturizer for dry skin and fur, provide relief for cuts, wounds, stings and bites for dogs. If your cat is suffering from itchy or dry skin or feline dermatitis, VCO can offer a welcome relief. VCO can prevent hairball formation and improve nutrition. It can also be beneficial to dogs by improving their dental health, preventing kennel cough, yeast infections and generally improving digestive health. Always seek advice from your vet before you introduce Virgin Coconut Oil to your pet’s diet or their grooming routine.

Here are just some of the things that we have found that prove the benefits of this super product.

It’s high in MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) which are a good source of energy and your body metabolizes differently than other dietary fats. The fatty acids in MCTs could promote weight loss by reducing body fat, and increasing fullness, as well as improving your gut environment. 

In addition, MCTs are believed to help fight the growth of bacteria and  might potentially help with managing diabetes, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, and autism.

Antimicrobial effect - Lauric acid accounts for up to 50% of the fatty acids in Virgin Coconut Oil. During digestion, your body turns some of the Lauric acid into monolaurin. These two substances - Lauric acid and monolaurin - are known to have the ability to kill harmful microbes such as viruses, bacteria and fungi, especially when you use the Virgin Coconut oil as a mouthwash.

Lauric acid is the predominant type of fatty acid found in VCO (around 47-50%). When Lauric Acid is digested, your body turns it into a substance called monolaurin. Lauric acid and the monolaurin contribute to the antimicrobial effect of virgin coconut oil and can kill harmful pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.  When you use Virgin Coconut Oil topically on your skin, the Lauric Acid contained in it can help with the treatment of acne and psoriasis, it also calms xerosis cutis and has a general anti-ageing and antimicrobial effect. It’s also beneficial for your hair as the Lauric Acid can penetrate the hair shaft and deliver nourishing minerals, vitamins and MCTs to the hair to make it healthy and shiny. If you massage your hair with Virgin Coconut Oil, this can stimulate blood circulation and hair growth.

Oil pulling is associated with improved oral hygiene and is practiced by many ancient cultures. It is believed that swishing virgin coconut oil, known for its antimicrobial effects, can remove harmful bacteria and improve dental health. To practice safely, put a small amount of oil in your mouth (a teaspoon to a tablespoon should be sufficient) and let the warmth of your mouth melt it. Then start swirling it around for 10-15 minutes. Repeat daily as part of your oral hygiene routine instead of ordinary mouth rinses. You can also add edible natural peppermint oil for a minty fresh feeling.  Consult with your dentist if you’re considering oil pulling.

It absorbs very easily into the skin while moisturizing it without making it greasy and staining your clothes. It is also tolerated by most skin types and rarely causes any unwanted reactions. If in doubt always consult your physician or a dermatologist before starting to use virgin coconut oil for massage or as a moisturizer. It also blends well with essential oils making it perfect for aromatherapy as well.

Apart from being one of the best universal moisturizers for every part of your body, VCO can also be used as body scrub in the shower (on its own or mixed with sugar and baking soda), make-up remover, hair conditioner, natural remedy for cuts, rashes and burns.
