Cocos Nucifera Oil

Coconut Oil is a widely cherished natural ingredient in both skincare and haircare, celebrated for its rich, nurturing properties and sensory appeal. Extracted from the meat of the coconut, it contains a unique profile of saturated fatty acids—most notably Lauric Acid, which makes up roughly half of its composition. This fatty acid concentration gives Coconut Oil its characteristic semi-solid texture at room temperature and its ability to melt luxuriously upon contact with the skin.

As an emollient, Coconut Oil delivers deep softness and helps smooth the skin by filling in tiny cracks on the surface. This creates a protective, occlusive layer that helps prevent transepidermal water loss, keeping skin feeling hydrated, supple, and comfortable. Its occlusive benefits make it an ideal choice for dry, rough, or flaky skin areas that need extra moisture and protection.

In formulations, Coconut Oil supports both skin and hair care benefits. For the skin, it helps improve softness, smoothness, and the overall appearance of the skin’s surface.

While it is highly nourishing, Coconut Oil does have a higher comedogenic rating, meaning it may clog pores for some individuals—especially those with oily or acne-prone skin. Nonetheless, in the right formulations and for the right skin types, it remains a deeply conditioning and well-loved ingredient.
