Moisturisation and protection.
Coconut oil, also called coconut butter, is a vegetable oil.
It is a fatty substance containing nearly 90% saturated fatty acids, the result of cold-pressing the coconut pulp without the intervention of any chemical process. It is used in gastronomy and as a cosmetic product.
Coconut oil contains saturated fats, essential amino acids and lauric acid (with an anti-microbial function) and caprylic acid, in addition to vitamins A, D, E and K. Vitamin E, for example, is a powerful antioxidant that prevents premature skin ageing.
Fatty acids, for their part, help restore the skin’s neutral pH, relieving the feeling of itchiness and dryness. They create a protective barrier and help the skin regenerate.
