Coconut water is tropical paradise for the skin. This
preferred drink of the tropics is often drank straight from the fruit and
accompanied by a mini umbrella. Not only is coconut water the new craze
that fitness enthusiasts use as their "go to” drink for rehydration,
but coconut water is ideal for skincare to cool and refresh the skin. This
latest health craze has crossed over into skin care in a big way. Its high
nutrient, mineral and moisture content make it perfect to rehydrate the
skin. FSS Coconut Water PF SF can incorporate natural
hydration into skin care for a refreshed look and feel.
This new "it” beverage has been dubbed Mother
Nature’s tropical cocktail. Naturally hydrating, coconut water has a
sweet, nutty taste. Coconut water is clear liquid from the fruit of the
coconut palm, tapped from the coconut at a young age, while the fruit is
still green. It contains easily digestible carbohydrates in the form of
sugar and electrolytes, which is why it has seen interest as a healthier sports
drink alternative. Sports drinks are popular within the recreational and
fitness worlds, while most are just artificially flavored beverages. The
attention has turned to coconut water, as a natural alternative to
manufactured sports drinks with initial evidence indicating the ability to
maintain hydration. As coconut water continues to have the reputation for
being low in sugar and high in electrolyte minerals it is often used as an
alternative to avoid sports drinks packed with added sugars and artificial
colors. Electrolytes help maintain fluid levels within the body and are
necessary to regulate muscle function.
BENEFITS
The benefits don’t stop there. As mentioned, coconut
water is full of essential amino acids while also containing enzymes,
antioxidants and phytonutrients. Coconut water is also a natural source of
cytokinins, which are plant hormones that have been known to provide anti-aging
benefits. These hormones regulate growth, development and aging, as they
influence the rate at which plants age. Cytokinins have been known to have an
anti-aging effect on human tissues and cells. When added to the culture medium,
the normal aging process slowed down. Due to these advances, cytokinins, have
the reputation for being beneficial for anti-aging effects. This health craze
has crossed over into skincare with several companies incorporating coconut
water into their products in order to capitalize on this skyrocketing trend.
Coconut water is one of the most rapidly growing trends, with demands likely to
increase. FSS Coconut Water PF SF is a great way to utilize
this "here to stay” trend while incorporating natural hydration into skin
and hair care products.
