Coconut oil is a multipurpose material that may have several health advantages. It is well known for its antibacterial and antioxidant qualities and is frequently used in skincare and cooking. According to some research, it might help with weight loss, enhance skin health, and even benefit brain function. It's crucial to remember that studies on some of these advantages are still being conducted, and that not all of the claims have been fully substantiated by science as of yet.

Woman makes coconut oil from scratch

The clip posted by the hun herself on her TikTok account @nzilamiyoba begins with the young woman cutting open the coconut and removing the white flesh from the hard shell. She then places the flesh into a blender and adds the coconut water, the clear liquid found inside the fruit, before blending the mixture into a smooth consistency.

Once blended, @nzilamiyoba used a cloth to strain the mixture, separating the liquid from the pulp. The drained coconut milk is then poured into a pan, where it is heated and stirred. As the liquid cooks, it gradually separates, and the oil rises to the top. She carefully collects the oil, revealing a clear, homemade coconut oil that she proudly displays at the end of the video, which was shared on 28 July 2025.

@nzilamiyoba expressed how she felt about making her very own homemade coconut oil by saying the following in her TikTok caption.
