Winter Cure-All!

Our Healthy Beauty issue wouldn’t be complete without an ode to coconut oil. Recently coined a miracle cure-all by any and every beauty editor, coconut oil is definitely having a moment. But way before the magazine hype, Rikita Kapadia grew up coveting all the health and beauty benefits of this super oil. Always listening to her wrinkleless Grandmother—known as Bhabhi to Rikita—for beauty advice, and now, she’s sharing her family’s beauty remedies with her own beauty brand, Cocovit. The tradition of using coconut oil, originated in India over 5,000 years ago. Inspired by her Indian heritage, Rikita wanted to create a multi-purpose beauty and skin product that had the power to naturally nurture skin, hair and health. Cocovit products are made of 100% certified organic, virgin coconut oil harvested in South India. A few out of hundreds—yes, hundreds!—of benefits of coconut oil include antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties for your body, inside and out.
