(7) The following are exemplary embodiments of combinations and mixtures of the ingredients discussed in detail above that may be used as working examples of the present composition. In no way should the present composition and method be limited to the examples listed below.

(8) Method of Preparation

(9) Using 2-3 coconuts, meat are extracted from hard-brown coconuts that are cracked open and cut into smaller pieces about 6 cups, using special knife to remove meat. The pieces are blended to get the milk 3½ to 4 cups. The obtained milk is then boiled until the water is evaporated to give coconut cream and oil. The oil is poured off to give the coconut cream that is used in next step.

(10) Ripped avocado fruits (3 fruits) with skin removed were taken into blender and gradually added coconut cream. The mixture is blended till a smooth paste is obtained. The paste is then heated to evaporate the water. While heating, (cook on top of stove on low heat mixing and stirring) care is taken to prevent the paste from burning. After most of the water has evaporated, the residue is collected and thereby oil is extracted from the residue.

(11) Two cucumbers are cut into pieces and taken in a blender. They are blended until a liquid-like mass is obtained, which is then filtered through a cheese cloth to give cucumber extract that is used in composition.

(12) Two cups of dandelion roots are boiled in a quart of water until it boils down to about 3 oz. The Water is strained to a separate container. Another quart of water is then added to the residue and boiled again until water is reduced to 1-2 oz. The extract is collected and stored in dark color bottles to protect it from the light.

(13) After keeping the above components for one-two days, specific quantities of each component, including coconut cream and avocado oil, cucumber extract, and dandelion root's extract are measured and mixed to form the composition. The composition is stored in suitable containers. Using the plastic pipettes (3 ml) to transfer the components, coconut/avocado oil=12 ml is poured into 1 oz. amber glass bottles with eye dropper, combined with 6 ml cucumber extract and 2 ml of dandelion root extract to complete the formula. Time it take to cut, blend and strain and cook milk to get coconut cream is about 6 hours.
