It has moisturizing, nourishing, and anti-inflammatory effects. It is effective for dry and flaky skin, cracks, and burns. It is very valuable as a natural cleansing agent. A massage with coconut oil cools the body, relaxes muscles, soothes nerves, and makes the skin as soft as velvet.

Lauric acid has a negative effect on various pathogenic microorganisms, bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and viruses.

Lauric acid is the main component of female breast milk, which protects children from diseases in infancy.
