Coconut Oil is an occlusive/emollient oil rich in lauric acid.
Human studies show virgin coconut oil can improve skin hydration and barrier function in dry/atopic skin. It also has antimicrobial activity, although facial acne-prone skin may find rich coconut-oil formulas too occlusive.
Usage & cautions
Acne-prone facial skin may prefer lighter formulas depending on the product.
