Coconut oil is used in many natural face products and for good reason: it's naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and moisturizing.
Coconut oil forms a protective barrier to hold in moisture while penetrating into the deeper layers of the skin helping keep connective tissues strong and supple. Coconut oil is readily absorbed into the skin, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Coconut oil is composed primarily of nourishing fatty acids and is especially high in lauric acid. It also contains vitamin E and healthy fats, which help to make skin smooth.
