- Coconut
- Coconut Oil – White, semi-solid, highly saturated fat that is expressed from the kernals of the coconut. Has a defating or “stripping” effect on the skin which is overcome by using coconut oil derived from esters rather than the oil itself. Surfactants derived from coconut oil have good cleansing properties and are generally known to be mild. Used on baby shampoos, cleansers, and shaving lathers, body and facial cleansers.
