The oil is clear to light yellow in color and carries a rich aroma. Coconut oil is composed of many fatty acids, including lauric acid (49%), myristic acid (18%), palmitic acid (8%), caprylic acid (8%), capric acid (7%), oleic acid (6%), linoleic acid (2%), and stearic acid (2%). Coconut oil has shown , , , , and actions. Plant oils keep skin nourished and protected to help preserve its function as a barrier to keep out bacteria, promote the healing of wounds and scars, and retain overall skin integrity. Comprising of almost 50% of coconut oil, lauric acid displays beneficial skin healing and homeostasis. Monolaurin, which is derived from lauric acid, has antimicrobial activity by disintegrating the lipid membrane of lipid-coated bacteria, including Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The oil, in concentrations of 5% to 40%, was shown to have activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, and Bacillus subtilis. It was also studied and found to be an effective antifungalAntifungal herbs inhibit the growth of fungi. agent against Candida species. In one study, virgin coconut oil was shown to heal wounds faster, improve status, and higher turnover of collagen, which is an important protein for skin to heal from wounds or damage and for skin's elasticity and integrity. Coconut oil can promote healing in wounds and contribute to protective barrier functions of the skin. Topical applications of virgin coconut oil was shown to be effective in decreasing the severity of skin conditions and atopic dermatitis. Virgin coconut oil has been found to have not only an effect, but a pain-relieving effect as well. It has shown to decrease eczema severity indicating it more effective than mineral oil.

Olive oil has many vitamins, including A, E, and K and characterized by a high level of oleic acid, moisturizing and conditioning the skin. The oil contains a variety of phenolic compounds that are the main antioxidants found in virgin olive oil, including phenolic alcohols, phenolic acids, flavonoids, lignans, and secoiridoids. The phenolic compounds contain higher antioxidant activity than vitamin E. Olive oil has been shown to be beneficial on skin for wound healing. It has potent anti-inflammatory activity. Olive oil can ease inflammation, reduce oxidative damage, and promote skin regeneration. The oil can protect stratum corneum integrity and skin barrier function and homeostasis. The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis and is the only layer that we can see. This layer serves as a hard protective layer against environmental trauma, such as abrasions, ultraviolet (UV) light, heat, allergens, pathogens, pollution, and irritants. Plant oils keep skin nourished and protected to help preserve its function as a barrier to keep out bacteria, promote the healing of wounds and scars, and retain overall skin integrity.

Hydration of the stratum corneum is crucial for its integrity and the maintenance of the skin barrier homeostasis. The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis and is the only layer that we can see. This layer serves as a hard protective layer against environmental trauma, such as abrasions, ultraviolet (UV) light, heat, allergens, pathogens, pollution, and irritants. The oil has been found to preserve the structure and function of the stratum corneum. Plant oils keep skin nourished and protected to help preserve its function as a barrier to keep out bacteria, promote the healing of wounds and scars, and retain overall skin integrity.
