The Making of Kakala Polynesian Body Oils
Selection of the coconut kernels (nuts) for the oil processing starts when the coconuts are delivered by the supplier. The coconuts, after having been counted are then put aside away from sunlight. While counting the coconuts, size does matter, the bigger the nut the better, or if the nut is the size of an adult hand as a good guideline.
The cracked coconuts are discarded and the pre-selected fully mature, husked coconuts are then split into half cups and ready for scraping & grating.
The coconuts are then manually grated to remove the white flesh (kernel) and the scrapped nut shells separated into a drum to dispose of.
The freshly scraped kernel is weighed and squeezed with manual pressing to get the coconut milk.
The oil is allowed to settle by gravity for a minimum of seven days (the longer the better). The oil coming out of the manual presser has entrained fine particles of dried kernel. These are removed by allowing the oil to clarify by letting it settle for at least two weeks.The resulting oils are combined with water and allowed to ferment, which produces three layers: a protein layer on top, the desirable coconut oil in the middle, and the water at the bottom.
The perched particles are floating on the surface of the oil. They are removed by a simple filtration using of a fine filter bag that will only allow the passage of liquid. This is completed three times for a pure clean result. This process does not leave any unpleasant remainder at the bottom of the bottle after it is packed and left on the shelf for some time. After settling, filtration of the oil is done using a filtering cloth bag.
The oils, after settling for seven or more days are filtered to extract the small particles and to make the oil looking pure and clean.
This process is repeated four times to clarify the oil.Finally the oil has the natural essence fragrance added and is then filled into bottles, sealed and labelled ready to sell.
