Daily Moisturizer
The oil is known to moisturize the skin just as well, if not better, than most lotions. It’s made up of Medium Chain Fatty Acids that enhance the moisture barrier of your skin, further protecting it from dryness.
Eye Makeup Remover
Remove stubborn eye makeup by dabbing the oil on a cotton ball. It’s a safe and natural alternative to some of the harsh chemicals found in generic makeup removers.
Deep Conditioner
The oil contains proteins not found in other hair oils, helping hair retain its natural moisture and make it stronger
Chapstick
Mix coconut oil with less than a teaspoon of sugar to exfoliate cracked lips
Frizz Fighter
Forget the sprays and simply tame the frizz with a dime-sized drop of coconut oil
Wrinkle Cream
Apply under eyes to help prevent wrinkles and hydrate the skin
