Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a plant-based oil that’s extracted from raw coconuts. It is solid at room temperature, but melts when heated or applied to skin.

Coconut oil can helps repair your skin’s barrier, which in turn decreases transepidermal water loss (TWL), which is when water passively evaporates from your skin.

Lauric acid, found in many vegetable oils, makes up 49% of coconut oil and has antimicrobial properties. So, while it can’t treat intense wounds on the surface of your skin, it could help with soothing milder skin lesions like scratches or razor burns.

A 2018 in vitro study published in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, a peer-reviewed journal focused on evidence-based natural medicine research, found that virgin coconut oil reduced inflammatory markers and increased skin barrier proteins, including filaggrin and involucrin. Its lauric acid, polyphenols and vitamin E may suppress inflammatory mediators in the skin.
