How It’s Made – Extraction Process:

AgroLush uses two key sustainable methods:

1. Wet-Milling Process:

   • Freshly grated coconut is pressed to extract coconut milk.

   • The milk undergoes:

     • Fermentation, or

     • Centrifugation or enzyme-assisted separation to extract oil without heat.

   • This ensures natural aroma, color, and nutrients are preserved.
