7 Skincare Benefits of Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a well-known moisturizer. It’s used in all kinds of skin care products, from lotions to soaps, from shampoo to lip balm. At Sage Stone Botanicals, we use coconut oil in our organic hand and body wash. You may wonder why we decided to include this oil in our soap. We have an explanation below.
Why is There Coconut Oil in my Soap?
Coconut oil is moisturizing, which is always nice to have in soap. But the question we get asked by many clients is why we decided to use this oil in our cleansing products. Here are a few reasons:
It is antimicrobial. Studies show that coconut oil kills harmful microorganisms.
It has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.
Coconut oil blocks the growth of bacteria including the bacteria that cause inflammatory acne.
Finally, coconut oil helps create the lather you like to see when using soap. This is a small benefit, but it’s a pleasant one.
On top of all of the above benefits, coconut oil is a great moisturizer, while still being cleansing. Not every moisturizing product can say the same.
