Is It Okay to Use Coconut Oil as Face Moisturizer?
Yes — If You Know What You’re Doing.
Let’s clear something up: coconut oil is not the villain.
It’s not going to clog your pores and ruin your skin unless you treat it like a Pinterest DIY and slap it on with zero thought.
Used the right way — in a balanced formula with ingredients that support absorption, hydration, and barrier repair — coconut oil isn’t just “okay” for your face...
It’s incredible.
🌴 The Truth About Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is:
-
Antibacterial
-
Anti-inflammatory
-
Packed with fatty acids that strengthen your skin barrier
But here’s the thing most people miss:
It’s not a stand-alone hero.
Used on its own, coconut oil can feel heavy or sit on the skin without really helping.
That’s why I didn’t just bottle coconut oil and call it a day.
I spent 8 years perfecting a moisturizer formula that uses coconut oil strategically — blended with:
-
Cordyceps mushroom extract (yes, the adaptogen)
-
Olive + avocado oil
-
Beeswax + Vitamin C + tea tree + geranium
-
And zero unnecessary filler
🧠 Why Coconut Oil Works (When You Know What to Pair It With)
Coconut oil is great at sealing in hydration.
But it needs support from ingredients that:
-
Pull water into the skin
-
Calm inflammation
-
Restore elasticity
-
Protect against environmental stress
That’s why our moisturizer doesn’t just feel good — it functions.
It creates this soft, dewy finish that works under makeup, or barefaced.
And it gives you that lifted, “I slept well and drink water” kind of glow — even if neither is true.
🧴 But… Isn’t Coconut Oil Comedogenic?
Sure, on its own — maybe.
But in a balanced formula with lighter oils and anti-inflammatory ingredients?
It’s a powerhouse.
In fact, we’ve had people with:
-
Severe eczema
-
Post-burn scarring
-
Aging, sagging skin
-
Chronic dryness
...come back saying they’ve never found something this rich that actually sinks in.
🧬 Why I Use It Daily (Even Under Makeup)
I’ve been using this formula for over a decade.
I built it when I couldn’t find anything that was:
-
Natural
-
Non-greasy
-
Actually hydrating
-
And didn’t mess up my skin after a week
I wanted something that functioned — not just looked good on a shelf.
So I made it.
And after eight years of refining and reformulating, this blend has stood the test of time (and skin).
It even holds up under mineral makeup — and yes, I know some mineral powders contain lead, which is why I always tell people:
It’s not just what you wear. It’s what you wear underneath.
💧 The Emotional Side of Skin
Aging isn’t just about collagen loss.
It’s about stress, diet, lifestyle, and emotion — and your skin shows all of it.
That’s why I believe skincare should support your nervous system, not stress it.
When something is simple, effective, and deeply nourishing — like coconut oil used well — your whole body reacts with more calm, more confidence, more glow.
🌟 So… Is It Okay to Use Coconut Oil as Face Moisturizer?
Yes.
If it’s blended right.
If it’s supporting your barrier, not just sitting on top of it.
If it makes you feel good without needing 10 other products.
That’s what our Cordyceps Moisturizer does.
It’s the moisturizer I wear under makeup, after sun, before sleep, and any time I want to feel hydrated, lifted, and legit taken care of.
