Kokoso Baby is the new baby skincare brand that has recently launched in Boots after winning the retailer’s ‘Inspired by Baby’ competition. This multipurpose moisturiser uses the purest natural organic coconut oil specially selected for baby skincare. And absolutely nothing else.

As well as being the kindest, gentlest and most natural way of moisturizing and protecting your baby’s skin, coconut oil has so many benefits and beauty uses for you too.

Here, Lauren Taylor, the mum who founded Kokoso Baby after discovering the wonders of coconut oil when her little girl had dry skin, explains how you can incorporate this multipurpose wonder oil into your beauty regime.

Skincare

Packed with skin-loving fatty acids, Vitamin E and age-defying antioxidants, Kokoso Baby is a lightweight, non-greasy raw virgin organic coconut oil that has been selected especially for skincare.

Solid at room temperature, it feels more like a cream than an oil and soaks into skin quickly leaving it feeling and smelling divine. It works in two ways – absorbing deeply to help keep skin and connective tissues strong and supple, as well as exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin cells to make your skin feel smoother, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

I use Kokoso Baby every night as a rejuvenating night cream and lip balm, as well as an after shower body moisturiser. I love that helps protect my skin from free radicals caused by environmental factors like pollution and cigarette smoke, which age skin prematurely.

And because it has natural antibacterial properties, Kokoso can aid in killing off harmful bacteria that cause spots.

Makeup remover and face cleanser

Kokoso Baby is also a completely natural way of removing make-up while moisturising your skin at the same time.

One customer told us that straight after using her usual make-up remover, she wiped her skin with Kokoso and was shocked to see her cotton pad still covered in foundation that her normal product hadn’t been able to shift.

Hair care

I use Kokoso Baby as a hair mask once a week and especially when I want my hair to look its silky shiny best the following day.

It encourages healthy growth as well as the re-growth process of damaged hair – and is also highly effective in reducing protein loss, which can lead to lifeless-looking locks.

– Scoop out some of the solid oil and melt it in your hands

– Start by massaging the oil into your scalp

– Use as much as you need to spread the oil through to the tips of your hair

– Preferably leave it to work its magic overnight (you may want to put a towel on your pillow or wear a shower cap)

– Wash your hair thoroughly in the morning (two shampoos)

Alternatively you can just massage the oil into the ends of your hair each night to help keep them nourished and prevent split ends.

What’s more, by regularly massaging your head with coconut oil, you can even help to keep your scalp dandruff-free.

Massage oil

Not only does Kokoso Baby Coconut Oil feel amazing on the skin and smell dreamy, but while you’re enjoying your massage, your skin is benefitting from all of its natural nutrients too.

But don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what a Physiotherapist and Sports Masseuse had to say:

“Kokoso Baby Coconut Oil is ideal for massage. It provides effortless glide and small amounts go a long way leaving skin soft but not greasy. I’d recommend it to any other masseuse.”

Shaving

You can use Kokoso as a natural shaving cream to help your razor glide beautifully along your skin. It also works a treat at locking in moisture when applied after shaving. Used regularly, it can help to reduce infected hair follicles and ingrown hairs. And because it contains natural anti-inflammatory properties, it’s already helping to heal any nicks before you’ve even noticed them!

Pregnancy tummy rub

What we put on our skin absorbs into the body. So when it comes to keeping your bump soft and supple, Kokoso is the perfect natural tummy rub as it contains no nasty chemicals – just loads of amazing nutrients instead.

I massaged Kokoso into my bump every day when I was pregnant, and didn’t get a single stretch mark. Lots of customers have told us the same.

Nipple Cream

If you’re breastfeeding, Kokoso Baby can help prevent dry nipples and allow your sore nipples to heal while keeping them safe from infection.

The potential healing powers of our coconut oil can be put down to its high levels of lauric acid – an amazing natural antimicrobial that’s only found in coconut oil and breast milk.

What’s more, Kokoso Baby is completely safe for nursing babies – so there’s no need to wash it off before the next feed.

Kokoso Baby is a dermatologically tested, premium raw virgin organic coconut oil specially selected for baby skincare. Suitable for sensitive skin, it hasn’t been refined, bleached, deodorised or tinkered with. We’ve simply left all of its amazing natural nutrients to do the important job of nourishing your little one’s skin.

A 168g pot (approx. 200ml) is available now at Boots and www.Kokoso.co.uk for £7.99
