Holy Lama Extra Virgin Coconut oil is extracted from freshly prepared coconut milk. The oil is clear, colourless, light viscous with a sweet coconut flavour rich in Vitamin E and has a longer shelf life. It contains natural components, that exhibit both cosmetic and medicinal values.
Massage on body for soft skin and on scalp for coolness and lush hair growth. The high quality of this oil makes it an ideal massage oil for newborn babies. Used traditionally for ages, it is considered to be good for the skin and bones of the newborn baby. It is not just for the baby; but also for the Mother-to-be, as excellent anti-stretch mark oil. It is the only natural oil containing “lauric acid” found in Mother’s milk making it the ideal substitute.
Natural – Sustainable – Fair Trade
Holy Lama products are predominantly made from natural ingredients, avoiding the use of harsh chemicals or synthetics. Their body care products are vegan, GMO free, handmade and not tested on animals.
Wherever possible, Holy Lama uses sustainable materials for packaging. During manufacturing, less than 1% wastage is produced, and all waste is used as fuel or cattle feed, thus the carbon footprint is exceptionally low!
The raw materials used for manufacture are sourced primarily from local farmers in Kerala and the rest of India, building upon over seven decades of strongly-established relationships with farmers. The business runs on a no-credit principle, meaning all farmers and raw material suppliers are paid immediately. The factory pays fair wages to staff, and fair prices to the farmers.
Women’s enterprise
Holy Lama Naturals is recognised in Kerala as a Government-approved women’s enterprise, where over 80% of the factory workers are women. Most come from disadvantaged backgrounds (i.e. widowed or deserted by a partner) and are given a chance to thrive (again) by working at Holy Lama Naturals.
