72 | BEAUTY LAUNCHPAD | SEPTEMBER 2017 I n the fall, temperatures start to cool down, which can cause dry skin, fl aking and irritation. But just because we bid farewell to summer doesn't mean that we have to say goodbye to our glowing skin. Coconut oil has been shown to improve barrier function and hydration, thanks to high levels of medium-chain fatty acids. It's also reported to stimulate hair growth, promote scalp health, prevent breakage, and give locks a boost of shine and softness. "There are multiple reasons why people should incorporate coconut oil into their daily beauty routines," says J. Aris Koroyan, founder and CEO of Epira. "First and foremost, coconut oil is a natural re-proteinizer, helping to reduce protein loss in the hair, which can often lead to dryness and breakage. It's also the richest natural source of fatty acids, in particular lauric acid. It has a low molecular weight so it penetrates deeply into the hair and scalp with ease, helping to repair and rehydrate while leaving strands smooth, shiny and soft." Many brands have caught on, incorporating coconut-derived ingredients such as oil, water and extract into their products, with the hopes of reaping the fruit's wealth of antioxidants and naturally antibacterial, anti-infl ammatory properties. From nourishing hair oils to luxurious moisturizers, these are a sampling of coconut-infused goods that will make skin and hair softer, smoother and leave her smelling like the tropics.
