Watch if sensitive·Moderate evidence·INCI: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil

A rich, solid-at-room-temperature oil that deeply softens dry skin and hair. It is well tolerated overall, but its high lauric acid content is considered comedogenic by many dermatologists, so it can trigger breakouts in people who are acne-prone.
