Q. Is coconut oil soap good for sensitive skin?

Answer

Yes, coconut oil soap is good for sensitive skin as it is made by using the cold process method and due to the presence of natural healing properties of coconut oil. The fatty acids present in coconut oil fight against acne-causing bacteria. It helps in water retention in the skin. It also maintains a moisture barrier on parched skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. However, as coconut oil is comedogenic, it can intensify acne-prone skin because it makes a thin hydrophobic barrier on the surface of the skin which traps dirt, sebum, and bacteria.
