• It makes for a great moisturiser as the coconut oil forms a lipid layer on the skin that decreases water evaporation and the resultant dryness.
• It contains SPF therefore it is a natural sunscreen that protects your lips from the harmful sun rays.
• The oil is antibacterial and prevents the growth of bacteria and other germs on cracked lips.
• It soothes your skin and treats chapped lips by reducing inflammation.
• Coconut oil encourages collagen production therefore heals damaged lips.
