Benefits of using coconut oil as a lip balm

Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer, locking in the moisture of your lips and making them soft and supple. Coconut oil forms a greasy film on the skin of the lips and reduces water evaporation and dehydration caused by climate change factors. Coconut oil contains a sun protection factor (SPF), and thus is a natural sunscreen, protecting the delicate skin of your lips from the sun\’s harmful rays. Coconut oil is antibacterial and prevents the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other germs on chapped lips. Coconut oil soothes your skin, treats chapped lips and reduces any inflammation in them. Coconut oil stimulates the production of collagen, which helps repair the skin and treat damaged lips. [1]
