Moisturizes the skin: Coconut oil has a high concentration of medium-chain fatty acids that can penetrate the skin and provide deep hydration. It can help to prevent dryness, flakiness, and roughness of the skin.
-
Reduces inflammation: Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It can help to soothe irritated skin, reduce redness, and prevent acne.
-
Protects against sun damage: Coconut oil has a natural SPF of 4-5, which can provide some protection against harmful UV rays. It can also help to repair and regenerate skin cells that have been damaged by sun exposure.

-
Improves skin tone and texture: Regular use of coconut oil can help to improve the texture and tone of the skin, making it smoother, softer, and more supple.

BOTANICAL NAME: Macadamia integrifolia (entire uncut leaves)
EXTRACTION: Cold-pressed
DESCRIPTION: The Macadamia tree, or Macadamia integrifolia, is a small tree native to Queensland, Australia. The Macadamia tree grows between 2 and 12 meters high and is an evergreen species. This tree produces white, pink or purple flowers as well as a woody fruit that when cracked open displays two seeds. These seeds, or nuts, are known as macadamia nuts and when cold- pressed produce an oil. The oil is golden or pale yellow in colour and has very little scent. The Macadamia tree obtained its name from the German-Australian botanist Ferdinand von Mueller who named the tree after his friend and scientist, Dr. John Macadam. Indigenous people in Queensland had been consuming macadamia nuts for centuries before Europeans had discovered it. Indigenous cultures refer to the macadamia nut as bauple, gyndl, jindilli, and boombera. Macadamia nut oil boasts many health benefits due to its high levels of selenium, zinc and fatty acids. It is a rich source of oleic acid and palmitoleic acid, fatty acids found naturally in the skin. Palmitoleic acid contains squalene, preventing against winter chapping.
KEY COMPONENTS: Palmitoleic, oleic and palmitic acid

Lemongrass essential oil has a refreshing citrus scent and is commonly used in aromatherapy, as well as in skincare products.
Here are some of the skin care benefits of lemongrass essential oil:

-

BOTANICAL NAME: Cymbopogon flexuosus
EXTRACTION: Steam distillation
DESCRIPTION: Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) is a perennial grass native to the tropical climates of Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, India, Sri Lanka, Burma and Thailand. It has a rich history of use in Asian cuisine, and is also occasionally used as a pesticide and preservative. Lemongrass has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. It has a light, fresh, lemony scent that is popular in aromatherapy. In East India and Sri Lanka it is a main component to a common treatment called "fever tea" said to aid with fevers, menstruation, diarrhea and nausea. In Chinese medicine, lemongrass is used similarly to treat headaches, nausea and colds. Through the process of steam distillation, a colourless essential oil is derived that can be used topically to deliver many beneficial properties to the skin.

Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
Ylang ylang, also known as Cananga odorata, is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia that is highly valued for its sweet, floral fragrance. However, the essential oil extracted from its flowers is also becoming increasingly popular in skin care products due to its numerous benefits for the skin.
One of the key benefits of ylang ylang oil for the skin is its ability to balance and regulate oil production. This makes it particularly useful for people with oily or acne-prone skin, as it can help to reduce sebum production and prevent breakouts. At the same time, ylang ylang oil is also moisturizing and can help to keep the skin soft and supple.
Ylang ylang oil also has antibacterial and antifungal properties, which can help to prevent infections and soothe inflammation. This makes it a great ingredient for people with sensitive or irritated skin, as it can help to calm redness and reduce itchiness.
In addition to its skin-balancing and soothing properties, ylang ylang oil is also known for its ability to promote relaxation and reduce stress. This is because it contains linalool, a natural compound that has been shown to have a calming effect on the nervous system. Using skin care products containing ylang ylang oil can therefore be a great way to promote overall wellness and relaxation.
Overall, ylang ylang is a versatile and beneficial ingredient for skin care. Whether you have oily or dry skin, sensitive or acne-prone skin, or just want to promote relaxation and well-being, ylang ylang oil can be a great addition to your skin care routine.

CanadaGreat!
I think I prefer the lavender and rosemary scent to the Kahuna, but I love the Cocoon Apothecary soaps and hand lotions. I’m a little obsessive about washing my hands, so they’re often very dry. I also have sensitivities to a lot of ingredients (shea is a real problem for me), so it can be difficult to find soaps and hand lotions that I don’t react to. I’m very pleased with the way this soap + lotion makes my hands feel - soft, moisturized, and not at all greasy.
CanadaA beautiful product
Gogeous scent, not over-powering - rich but easily absorbed, dealt with problematic dry skin in 2 days!
CanadaThe best hand lotion
Love the smell and the effect! I also love their facial moisturizer.
