About
Coconut seed butter — a thick, occlusive plant lipid that softens very dry skin and reinforces the barrier. The main caveat: it's strongly comedogenic and often a poor pick for acne-prone faces.
Skin benefits
- Rich, semi-solid emollient ideal for dry skin
- Reinforces the skin barrier with medium-chain triglycerides
- Natural origin with simple processing
- Imparts a soft, smooth afterfeel
Known concerns
- Highly comedogenic — generally a poor choice for acne-prone facial skin
- Rare contact allergy to coconut-derived lipids
- Can leave a heavy or greasy finish if overused
