Yes this virgin coconut oil is in a published study (actually, several) and yes itβs awesome for eczema! π₯₯
π¦ Skin with atopic dermatitis tends to be colonized by staphylococcus aureus. As this published clinical study shows, virgin coconut oil (VCO) is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, which can help eczematous skin both in terms of moisturization and antimicrobial care.
π§ VCO has fatty acids native to skin making it ideal for very dry, eczematous skin that needs barrier-repairing moisturization (which also prevents cracks in the skin where microbes can enter).
π¬ The VCO in this published paper is Know-It-Oil. Itβs also in Oilβs Well (which has added monolaurin).
π VCO is not a top contact allergen and is non-comedogenic, too.
