What are the benefits of coconut oil?
Coconut oil is one of the top ingredients in organic skincare and haircare products, but just what makes it so special?
It's filled with vitamins and fatty acids, as well as antimicrobial properties, which means not only can it be a great nourishing and moisturising aid, it also helps fight acne.
Coconut oil can be used to treat dry areas of skin, and even to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, as it is extremely hydrating, as well as being rich in antioxidants.
It can also be used on your hair to strengthen follicles and boost shine, particularly when your locks are feeling coarse and tangled.
There are many natural products that contain coconut oil, including the versatile Balance Me Stellar Face Balm.
This is a multi-tasking beauty balm, which you can use as a lip balm, heel and cuticle cream, or even on your hair to tame unruly locks.
It features not only virgin coconut oil, but also organic shea butter, rosehip oil and mango seed butter to sooth and hydrate your entire body.
