What is Coconut oil?

Coconut oil and derivatives are powerful anti-aging ingredients that provide deep hydration, skin barrier repair, and antioxidant protection. As skin ages, it loses moisture and elasticity, leading to wrinkles, dullness, and increased sensitivity. Coconut oil derivatives help lock in moisture, reduce inflammation, and protect against oxidative stress, preventing premature aging. In haircare, they nourish the scalp, strengthen strands, and improve elasticity, reducing breakage and dryness. However, pure coconut oil can be heavy and clog pores. Micellar Cosmetics’ Green Micellar™ formulation transforms these derivatives into a lightweight, fast-absorbing solution, maximizing their anti-aging, hydrating, and restorative benefits for skin and hair.
