Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a natural oil extracted from the meat of mature coconuts. It is rich in fatty acids, particularly lauric acid, which gives it moisturizing, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Benefits
- Coconut oil is composed of mostly saturated fats that act as super hydrators by providing a lipid-rich barrier over the skin.
- The most abundant fatty acid in coconut oil is the medium chain fatty acid, lauric acid. It is naturally antimicrobial, and therefore can be very soothing to red, irritated skin.
