What is Coconut Oil (Virgin, for Eczema) used for?

Coconut Oil (Virgin, for Eczema) is a natural remedy used for Eczema & Skin Barrier Repair. Virgin coconut oil contains lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid with antimicrobial properties that kills Staphylococcus aureus — the bacteria that colonizes 90% of eczema skin and triggers flares. A clinical trial showed coconut oil reduced eczema severity by 68% over 8 weeks. It also restores the lipid barrier that eczema skin lacks.

Apply a thin layer of virgin (unrefined) coconut oil to damp skin immediately after bathing (within 3 minutes). Reapply to dry or itchy areas 2-3 times daily. Use as an overnight occlusive treatment on severe patches. Must be virgin/unrefined — refined coconut oil lacks the active compounds.
