Here are some ways you can incorporate the superfood coconut into your beauty routines whether as a body lotion, hair conditioner or a facial.
The benefits of coconut whether as food, oil or other by-products are incontestable.
It being one of the richest sources of saturated fats means it is great for moisturising skin, regenerating cells and even taming damaged and frizzy hair. Its high lauric acid content also makes it a great fighter against bacteria, viruses and fungi.
We certainly cannot get enough of all things coconut so we’ve come up with some ways you can incorporate the superfood superagent into your beauty routines.
Cocolab Luscious Body Cream with Super Vitamin E
Made with ample Super Vitamen E Tocotrienols and natural beeswax in a virgin coconut oil base, Cocolab’s body cream is a luxurious light-weight all-day body moisturiser. It leaves no heavy grease upon application, just a satiny smooth after-effect that at the same time helps with tissue regeneration to lighten scars and reduce stretch marks. Made with 100% natural ingredients, it is natural, non-toxic and chemical-free, making it indispensable to those suffering from dry skin or living in cold climates.
Kiehl’s Amino Acid Shampoo and Conditioner
Long before coconut and its by-products were popularised, Kiehl’s was among the first to introduce the fruit into its range of products. Two of them – Kiehl’s Amino Acid Shampoo and Conditioner – remains one of its bestsellers to this day thanks to its coconut oil derived cleansers in its formulation that create a delightfully creamy lather with each use. Its special blend results in incomparable softness and shine in hair on top of luxurious body and volume.
