The study was titled “Effect on the use of topical Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) on the skin Components and the Status of Antioxidants.” …” The research was especially interesting because the study concluded “the positive effects on the skin of Virgin Coconut Oil can be attributable to the cumulative effect of the bioactive minor components in it. “

The truth is that pure coconut oil is naturally rich in an impressive list of ingredients to nourish your skin. The nutrients are: lauric acid, myristic acids as well as capric acid, caprylic acid, and caproic acid along with Vitamin E as well as Choline (Vitamin B4) and Vitamin K.

It is important to remember that it is not thought to have the ability of clogging pores in the skin, primarily because of its levels of lauric acid, as well as capric acid contents. A 2009 study also found that lauric acids have “stronger antimicrobial properties than that of benzoyl peroxide (BPO).”
