After application, the skin feels nourished, smooth, and velvety soft, with long-lasting hydration.
Coconut oil is a natural emollient rich in saturated fatty acids, particularly lauric, caprylic, and myristic acids, which possess antimicrobial and protective properties¹.
Thanks to its high content of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), it helps restore the skin’s lipid barrier, enhances hydration, and reduces transepidermal water loss, promoting softness and elasticity².
Coconut oil also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, protecting cells from oxidative stress while soothing dryness and skin irritation³ ⁴.
