Aggregated from the active ingredients in this product.
| Reported effect | How often | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Comedogenicity (clogged pores, acne flares) | Common | Coconut oil is highly comedogenic and may worsen acne in acne-prone or oily skin. |
| Irritant contact dermatitis | Uncommon | Usually mild; more likely with derivatives like cocamidopropyl betaine in cleansers. |
| Allergic contact dermatitis | Rare | True allergy to coconut oil is uncommon; sensitization is more often to surfactant derivatives (e.g., cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamide DEA). |
| Folliculitis | Rare | Occlusion of follicles may contribute in susceptible individuals. |
| No direct side effects | Very rare | As a labeling claim rather than a substance, it has no inherent biological effect; any reactions stem from the substitute emollients used instead. |
| No direct side effects from the absence of paraffin | Very rare | As a claim rather than an ingredient, it carries no inherent risk; any reactions stem from substitute emollients used instead. |
Frequencies reflect typical cosmetic use reported in the literature, not a guarantee for your skin.
| Ingredient | What it does |
|---|---|
| Coconut Emollient/occlusive | Coconut (Cocos nucifera) oil and derivatives are widely used in skincare as emollients and occlusives that soften skin and reduce transepidermal water loss. Coconut oil also has mild antimicrobial properties attributed to its lauric acid content. |
| Mineral Oil Free Marketing/formulation descriptor | "Mineral Oil Free" is not an ingredient itself but a labeling claim indicating a product is formulated without mineral oil (liquid paraffin) and related petroleum-derived emollients. It describes a formulation choice rather than an active or functional substance. |
| Paraffin Free Marketing/formulation claim | "Paraffin Free" is a labeling claim indicating a product is formulated without paraffin (a petroleum-derived hydrocarbon often used as an emollient or occlusive). It is not an active ingredient but a descriptor of the formulation base. |
| Court House Unknown/Not a recognized skincare ingredient | "Court House" is not a recognized or established dermatological or cosmetic-chemistry ingredient, and no documented function, mechanism, or safety data exists for it in scientific or regulatory literature. It does not correspond to any known INCI-listed compound. |
| Lokmanya Tilak Marg N/A — not a skincare ingredient | "Lokmanya Tilak Marg" is not a dermatological or cosmetic-chemistry ingredient; it is the name of a road/street (named after Indian independence leader Bal Gangadhar Tilak, also known as Lokmanya Tilak). There is no skincare function, formulation use, or research data associated with it as an ingredient. |
| Dhobi Talao Unknown/non-ingredient | "Dhobi Talao" is not a recognized skincare or cosmetic ingredient; it is the name of a locality and historic water tank area in Mumbai, India. There is no dermatological or cosmetic-chemistry literature describing it as a topical ingredient or active. |
