What it does
Coconut oil is a genuinely good body moisturiser and a decent first-stage makeup remover. On the face, left on, it is one of the more comedogenic oils in common use and a frequent cause of congestion along the jaw and cheeks.
Comedogenicity varies between people, so plenty of individuals use it happily. But if you are acne-prone and troubleshooting a breakout that started when you "went natural", this is the first bottle to remove.
If you want a facial oil, squalane, jojoba or a light non-fragranced blend are safer defaults.
