Editor's Picks: The Coconut Beauty Products You Need Right Now

Summer is in full swing, and depending on where you live, Whether you take your coconut on the rocks in water form (coconut water), or prefer a little kick to your coconut with a piña colada, there’s no denying that coconut is a prime pick for summer beauty.

Not to mention that every beauty obsessed woman has slathered, swiped and slicked coconut oil on her body from head-to-toe. The interesting fact about coconut oil however, is that, it works best when combined with other ingredients.

Sky Organics USDA Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil $10

Cold-pressed from wild-harvested coconuts, our USDA Organic Coconut Oil is full of the key vitamins and nutrients that help condition and repair dry damaged hair. Coconut oil’s natural antibacterial and antioxidant properties help boost scalp health and combat itching and dryness, all while strengthening hair, supporting healthy growth, and making strands easy to manage.

According to Paula’s Choice, coconut oil is a great choice for skin care for the following reasons:

- It is rich in fatty acids, which replenish skin’s vital substances to keep it looking healthy and young.
- Its antioxidant properties aid in skin’s anti-pollution defense, while also visibly diminishing wrinkles and other signs of aging.
- Its high saturated fat content moisturizes dehydrated skin.
- It is one of the few naturally delicious smelling oils that does not have a volatile component that irritates skin—instead it’s completely soothing.

But, contrary to popular belief, coconut oil is not a cure-all for acne, nor does it provide adequate sun protection. We have however, found several coconut infused beauty products that that work wonders for your face, skin and hair.
