Coconut Oil: A Super Ingredient for Your Skin

When it comes to nourishing the skin, coconut oil is a powerhouse. Rich in capric acid and caprylic acid, it provides deep moisture without clogging pores. Lauric acid, a star component of coconut oil, boasts antimicrobial properties, offering a gentle, purifying cleanse perfect for acne-prone skin types.
